About the Game
Battle Brothers is a turn based tactical RPG which has you leading a mercenary company in a gritty, low-power, medieval fantasy world. You decide where to go, whom to hire or to fight, what contracts to take and how to train and equip your men in a procedurally generated open world campaign. Do you have what it takes to lead them through bloody battles and to victory?
The game consists of a strategic worldmap and a tactical combat layer. On the worldmap you can freely travel in order to take contracts that earn you good coin, find places worth looting, enemies worth pursuing or towns to resupply and hire men at. This is also where you manage, level up and equip your Battle Brothers. Once you engage a hostile party the game will switch to a tactical map where the actual fighting takes place as detailed turn based combat.
- Manage a medieval mercenary company in a procedurally generated open world.
- Fight complex turn-based tactical battles with historical equipment and brutal injuries.
- Permadeath. All characters that die in combat will stay dead – unless they return as the undead.
- All characters come with their own background stories and traits. Want a stuttering ratcatcher, a greedy witch hunter or a drunkard disowned noble?
- Character development without a restrictive class-system. Each character gains experience through combat, can level up and acquire powerful perks.
- Equipment that matters. Different weapons grant unique skills – split shields with axes, stun enemies with maces, form a spearwall with spears or crush armor with a warhammer.
- Diverse enemy roster. All enemies have unique equipment, skills and AI behavior.
- A dynamic event system with atmospheric encounters and tough decisions outside of combat.
- Three late game crises – a war between noble houses, a greenskin invasion and an undead scourge – add a looming threat.
- Two full hours of orchestral soundtrack.
- 70 Steam Achievements and Steam Trading Cards.

Great game, with decend chalange and good mechanics. Btw the soundtrack especially the barbarian one is awesome
This is the greatest game I have played in years. Open world xcom fantasy. So much fun.
Before you buy, bear in mind that this game is VERY hard and subject to a lot, perhaps not always fair, RNG. But if you like inflicting pain to your mind as well as your body this should be a 10/10 experience.
This game has become unplayable. I used to play it years ago when it was released, and it was great! Now, you start with almost no money, abysmal armor, no weapons. You get only the lousy missions where you have to crawl in a forest or on top of a mountain for days looking for a non-existent place until your funds run out, or until direwolves attack. I played this on beginner three times recently, and in all games I lost from the first battle to unbeatable enemies. They reworked the balance and made it unplayable.
3 crashes, broken textures and after the last crash, the autosave is now constant crash on load so i have to go back to my other save which was 6 hrs ago... Would 100% not recommend in the state the game is at the moment.
very fun. haven't gotten close to beating the game. Maybe got midway through when all my brothers get massacred. very fun though. Especially with the different starts you can do. Oathtakers, peasant militia, beast slayers and lone wolf are my favorite ones so far.
After spending 75 hours with "Battle Brothers," I wanted to enjoy the experience of managing a mercenary company in its richly designed world. The game's atmosphere and art style are commendable, creating a setting that is both immersive and appealing.
However, despite the time invested, I found myself not achieving much and feeling increasingly frustrated. Even on the beginner difficulty, the game is punishingly hard. The early game is especially unforgiving, often placing you in situations that feel nearly impossible to overcome. This steep difficulty curve can be discouraging for new players trying to find their footing.
The missions lack variety and quickly become repetitive, making progression feel like a tedious grind. Traversing the expansive map during caravan or courier missions is slow and unengaging, which made it difficult to stay focused on the game.
While "Battle Brothers" has a lot of potential with its compelling concept and world design, the excessive difficulty and repetitive gameplay overshadow these strengths. If you're considering this game, be prepared for a challenging and oftentimes frustrating experience.
Gotta love this Dogshit game. "Just get good"
Yup, gotta love it when my bro has a 95% chance to hit and misses 4 times in a row!
Then enemy AI with 10% chance hits me 3 times and I die to the wonder world of RNG.
RNG trash. so hardcore. wow, much oldschool. rolling a dice is not a game you really play, you are more of an observer.
5 crossbow shots to kill a wolf?
raising a shield and aiming spear at your enemy leaves you exhausted in 3 rounds?
alright, people love this game. i don't and i don't get it.
The pros just nearly outweigh the Cons of this game. The combat is fun, the time period and low fantasy theme is amazing, and the idea/concept of the game is great. The armor is customizeable and the enemy variety is super great!
The single con is the RNG engine they built into the game. They claim "It's been tested by third parties to be proven completely random RNG" but it's very obviously not. You will have battles where once you start every single ranged enemy on the map will hit you with 100% accuracy before you even start the battle and half of your men are already dead. You reload the save and the same thing happens over and over and over and over. It's kind insane how they claim its "Random" when the AI enemies nearly never miss their attacks, but as a player you miss over 60% of your attacks easily. I've had hits that are 95% hit chance miss several times in a row, while the low ranked loin cloth enemy walks up to me and stabs me 8 times in a row and kills me. There is clearly a problem with how the rolls are made (I believe it's because the random numbers are generated straight up on a scale from 1 to 100 instead of randomly choosing positive hit integers on the scale for the players to score a positive hit. So for instance if you have a 40% chance of hitting, you will score a positive hit on numbers 1-40. That's great and all but the game makes you roll super high numbers like 90% of the time. You'll be rolling 90s constantly, again I don't know how that's random when clearly 90+ rolls is a favorite of the game. Or the game just cheats for fun. Either way XCOM's random hits are more accurate, and that's saying something.
If you play the game with mods, it's a little more balanced. But just prepare to reload saves quite a bit.
Battle Brothers is constant management of risk/reward. How will you turn a bunch of farmers and rat-catchers into an elite mercenary company? Battle Brothers plays like Mount and Blade or Starsector with turn base combat on a grid based map. Unforgiving by nature, Battle Brothers may turn many people off due to its learning curve.
Let me start by saying if you are looking for a Fire Emblem game, you have found it. You are going to need to roll at least 100 times to find a good map seed but once you do you get transported to Middle Earth and what could appear to be a shallow experience is actually a never ending story. When you start the game you are in a race against the clock and you must quickly recruit, outfit, supply, pay and train a company of battle brothers. You have to build a good team as fast a possible because the game gets more difficult after you have been playing for awhile. Major events will happen like a greenskin invasion, wars between the kingdoms and undead scourges. There are also hundreds of random little events that can occur if you are in the right place, at the right time, with the right people. Each brother you encounter will have a different story and build. The game continually gives you just the right amount of vague story information to keep you engaged and it never really ends. It is easy for me to get carried away and pretend like I am actually playing a LOTR game or Dragon Age. You cannot buy a caravan/warehouse or conquer a town like in Mount and Blade but in every other feature Battle Brothers is a better game. Something simple like unlocking the people who sit around the fire in your camp is really satisfying and it is hard to explain why.
Occasionally I get the itch to come back to this game because a solid 85% of it is best in its genre, but then I remember that these guys put Alps in the game and it reminds me they can't be trusted to design anything ever again without adult supervision.
Very fun concepts, but unfortunately the game doesn't reward you for interacting with them. Monsters are harder fights that give garbage loot while humans are boring easy fights that give good loot. There's tons of weapons, with their differences largely not being relevant. I hate seeing something interesting and needing to think, "do I have fun? or do I win the game?"
Hi,
ich weiß ja, die Entwickler sind Deutsche, also schreib ich mal was auf Deutsch. Ich wollte mich hier nur melden, um den Entwicklern meinen herzlichen Dank auszusprechen, dass sie so eine fantastische Welt für mich geschaffen haben, in der ich mich vollends einfühlen und wohlfühlen kann.
Danke.
There's just something about Battle Brothers and I keep coming back. You get endless replayability and a wonderful modding community; including 2 great overhaul mods (Legends and Reforged). This game will scratch any RPG, strategy, and micro itches you may have. Don't let the minimalistic graphics keep you away. I've struggled to find a game that executes as well as Battle Brothers. My only complaint would be frustrations with the RNG on higher difficulties.
Amazing game that gets the mercenary vibe down super well and has enough content for weeks of playtime. And it my have replaced my Mount & Blade addiction.
Cool turn-based tactical RPG that combines engaging combat, squad customization, and exploration. The turn-based combat is challenging and rewarding, offering a satisfying balance of strategic positioning and intense encounters; stay away from beasts in teh early game. Customization options for each mercenary feel meaningful, allowing you to craft the perfect squad and get them hammered. The game shines in its exploration—traveling to new towns, seeking out hidden ruins, and taking on contracts make the world feel alive and dangerous. It's a game that pulls you in and keeps you hooked with its blend of tactical combat and exploration. Recommended.
Challenging and rewarding still not very good at the combat part but still enjoyable despite my lack of abbility
Epic sandbox, rpg game. Cant get enough of it. One of the few games where the turn based combat system is not a drag. The difficulty curve is steep but it feels rewarding when you progress. Min maxing galore for those that like it. Experts can get so good to play with transmoging. Rich modding community aswell.
Cons - You have to imagine your own story for every new game or the runs can start to feel a bit too similar once you get the jest of it.
Would love another expansion but the devs might have finnaly moved on.
This may be among the best games I've ever played. The tactical combat is simple to understand, but devilishly complex to master. The story elements are well crafted, but definitely not rated-PG. You really get to know your recruits. They have personalities. It's a shame when they die. Just a great game all around.
quite addicting but not very forgiving. would've like a little more tutorial in the beginning. a little more survivability would add more attachment to the characters and make the game more fun as the stakes would be higher
This game is tantalising and I am sure once I figure it out I will love it but the game considers itself to be "challenging" but so much of the "challenge" is from a lack of information given to the players. The first mission in the tutorial I got totally bodied. I put my archer in the back, make a shield wall in front and and axes on the flanks. I moved in and flanked the opponent and I got TOTALLY destroyed by NPCs just running up at random and tanking everything until i died. the hell else was I supposed to do? that's not challenge that's just dumb. what is worse I have zero idea what to do differently.
Also:
How do I stop zombies from spawning?
Why am I missing so much?
Why is my ranged unit doing almost no damage?
It took me quite a while to figure out the attacks of opportunity but why do the npcs not trigger them?
Just banking on the community to teach people about your game is really lame.
If you like turn based strategy this is it, i was hesitant because of the art, but it only took me a few minutes of playing to grow to love the art in this game, it really does grow on you.
It is addictive and it is pretty fun, But i hate the dice system. When it says 99% of hit chance you still miss 3 times in a row thats the deal breaker for me. But hey to each his own.
If you can get past the fact all the characters look like potato-morphs - it's an amazing sandbox type of game. Intricate combat systems & unforgiving consequences create unique stories and experiences. I would only recommend this to seasoned tactical rpg fans, but if you fall into that category and don't mind the art style, this one is a must have.
Most replayable game I've ever played. Fantastic balance and variety, emergent storytelling, tortuous challenges and exciting power scaling.
The strategy game I needed with the graphics I never wanted. A match made in heaven.
dont upscale your ui or you cant play without modifying files yourself, not sure why a game would include a basic option and then have it completely break the game
I bought this and for some reason it sat in my steam library unplayed for quite awhile. After actually trying it out I had to say to myself "how did I forget about this game?
A difficult low fantasy tactical RPG with emergent storytelling, Battle Brothers is a gripping turn based combat mercenary sim.
If you're a fan of tactical turn based games, you'll find yourself restarting this again and again. Either for fun, or because something went horribly wrong with your last troop (which can also be a fun tale.)
The base game and DLC content are really good. For me, the modding support and community take this game to a whole other level. There are an unbelievable number of quality of life additions to make every game a little different. It's unfortunate that the mods are not supported through the Steam workshop but it's worth finding them and adding them to your game to truly tailor your experience.
This game is so impossibly difficult without reading/watching guides. A HUGE majority of my runs end in the first battle before I even get a chance to get my feet wet. And that's on the easiest settings. Once you get a run that clicks though, the game feels great. I just wish it was more approachable... I don't play games to make myself upset or feel powerless. I was going to give it a thumbs down because of that... but for some reason, I keep getting dragged back to try another few runs a few times a year which is more than I can say about most games in my library.
Its hard, unforgiving, RNG hates you, and its my all time favorite Turn Based Game I have played.
I bought this in Early Access almost 10 years ago! The studio added so much since then. Development is done and its complete. 3 Big Expansions that are 100% worth it with a couple smaller ones as well.
I don't really have anything negative to say other than it can kick your ass pretty good if your not paying attention. Accept it will do the same if you do, lol.
The art is awesome, there's a bajillion events that can happen and enemy variety/mechanics are plenty. There is interesting mechanics like permanent injuries. i.e. lose and eye/nose. Pretty brutal. You can hire any one from peasants, fisherman, cultists, gladiators, Arabs?, and so on. There is also like 12 different types of starting parties to pick from, and 4 or 5 end game events, so replayability is near infinite. It's kinda like a turn based Mount & Blade with more juicy flavor. You can also turn down the difficulty... to a degree, haha.
9/10 Brutal but Satisfying Turned Based Low Fantasy Game. Worth every penny. Buy it, have your champion get decapitated by and Orc Warchief, repeat.
Personally even on easy mode the game is too punishing. easy to get one shot by some random brigand. personally not for me anymore. if others like being in frustration by all means buy this game
A great game that rewards those who wishes to master it. It is a great game of embracing loss to forge a path ahead. The gameplay is stellar for those who love punishing turn-based strategic games.
The game itself does benefit from its massive modding scene that allows you to customize your experience, making a stellar game fantastic.
Super fun with infinite replay ability.
this game is Fantastic.
that probably won't be your first thought about it though. it has a weird, rather "minimal" look , it has classic turn based model combat, and , let's face it, the game is hard, and will generate a lot of frustration on your first runs (possibly on a lot of next ones, not gonna lie).
what i love about this game is that you start with kinda blank sheet and story of your recruits will write itself along the numerous encounters you will face. your favorites characters will have awful frustrating death, to some goblin poison while you won't be able to do anything about, or receving an arrow right in the head from a loosy poacher when you thought the fight was in control.
As a fan of "The Black Company" books saga from Glen Cook (dark fantasy wich i highly recommand), where you follow the evolution of a mercenay company through the eyes of company's analyst (historian), i enjoy feeling like i'm taking on this role. You'll get attached to some characters , that will probably die anyway, and characters you didn't care, for some reasons, will survive many injuries and became the unsung heroes of your company.
it's just a great game if you like turn based tactical, medieval, are willing to take losses, give the game a bit of time before you can fully apreciate it.
Battle Brothers is a great game in both role playing and especially tactics.
Role playing: Even though the map is randomly generated, it still has writing, and the writer of this game is excellent. You can choose a background, and your band of brothers will have a background, and these will show up here and there along your travels.
Tactics and game play: Let's compare this one here with Wartales, which tried to do a similar genre.
The battles in Wartales are a chore, and the differences between the various weapons in a weapon class (say 2h mace vs 2h sword) are largely aesthetic. In Battle Brothers, on the other hand, the weapon variety is huge, and they all perform very differently. In my various playtimes I kept learning new stuff, weapons that I thought were useless turned out to be OP. Add to that the fact that you're commanding a group where you can try to synergise their roles and you get an infinite meta. Want to recreate a Landsknecht army with lots of halberds or a pike-and-shot army? Whatever crazy idea you get, you might find someone on the internet who's already done it. add to this the fact that what your bro is best at depends on how he starts out. As they level up, you have a very limited number of points to spend on skill perks that make the bro perform very differently. In short: You will never run out of options to try out.
Finally difficulty: It's extremely hard. This game is best when you don't reload. Accept your guy's grizzly end whenever that unlucky 5% shot by a goblin does land. This game is vastly more fun when you roll with the punches.
Challenging but fair TRPG. Great re-play value. While many of the main and random events will eventually start to repeat, the random encounters and terrain make each fight unique. The combat is unforgiving but fair. You can't take any encounter for granted, or you may loose a man (or two). Like X-Com, you spend a lot of time and money on your mercenaries. And thus, you develop attachments to them. So loosing one always hurts. But then you get to find someone new and make them even better!
+ Probably the best interplay between tactical and strategic layers of any turn based strategy game that I've ever played. If you've enjoyed XCom, Jagged Alliance, or Darkest Dungeon, it's 100% worth checking out.
+ Sustains a convincing dark tone with decent writing, good character/monster design, and the challenge of the gameplay itself. Gritty, sometimes dark humored, but not "grimdark".
~ Challenging, for some this will be a huge positive, for others it will turn them off. But the difficulty is not overwhelming if you're used to other permadeath strategy games.
~ Music and sound effects are just OK. I usually play with podcasts or music in the background.
~ Somewhat repetitive after the beginning of the game, at least in vanilla form. The DLCs add a lot.
- Inventory system is a bit annoying, particularly since you'll be swapping weapons/armor/bros a lot to tailor to different types of battles or when equipment gets broken or bros get injured. I haven't tried mods to see whether it's possible to mitigate this.
- Tutorial is terrible. One example: it took me until about 50 hours into the game to realize that I could use ranged weapons without penalty if I was standing directly behind another bro.
- Rare and serious, though not game breaking graphical bugs during combat on my PC.
9/10 for me. Rarely do I find a game I could easily play 200 hours of without getting bored.
8/10 for the average SRPG/TRPG fan.
6/10 for the average Steam User.
I can only ask for forgiveness. I didn't realise I hadn't left a review.
This is a great game.
(do get the faster turn timer mods)
(when you want some more fun, play with some more mods - they can be fun too)

Do not be discouraged by the graphics. This is a masterpiece which creates multiple stories without having one. As far as tactics and strategy goes Battle Brother is the king.
One day, goblin wolf riders surrounded my party in deep snow. My guys took up a circular defense and bristled with spears, but the little bastards just circle around throwing nets and trying to drag the crossbowmen. Finally, one green asshole ran too close and caught the spear with his face. The others tried to stretch my squad wider, but quickly began to lose men. A short and fierce fight - and half of the goblins took to their heels. It was impossible to catch them in the snow.
Yeah, buy this one.
A superb adaptation of chess... wherein pawns mob you and slit your throat, rooks crush your windpipe and toss you aside, and bishops curse you and give you syphilis. A game to take with you to heaven.
This game is great, but if you play you have to check out Battle Brothers: Reforged mod! Holy moly you will not believe how amazing this game can get!
Fantastic game, I'd recommend this to anyone who likes turn-based strategy. Think of this as a cross between XCOM and Fire Emblem- if you like either game, you'd like this. Learning curve is steep, though- for your first run, play on the lowest difficulty and save often.
This is an unforgiving game. You play as a group of mercs - normal, regular people - trying to thrive in an unforgiving world, full of threats, normal and magic and bigger and stronger than you.
You will be frustrated. It's a steep learning curve. But if you push forward you will love it. It's a great game where you see your men and are proud of their achievements, where a cripple can kill noblemen, have some drinks with his buddies and live to see another day.
I have over 500 hours in this game and sometimes still feel like a newbie. And I keep logging in.
TL;DR: Give it a chance. Play it on the easiest settings at first, and just get comfortable with failing. You will need to look at the game wiki online because this game lacks some UI/information features. I REALLY would enjoy the game more if I could see ALL of the math in UI elements in the game.
I'm giving this a positive review, with the note that you need to do light research to know if this is up your alley. A bit sparse in content variety, but good on content quantity. Content quality is... complicated. Good ocmbat system, but the lack of certain UI features is baffling. You will need to google a lot just to understand what certain things do. If someone is stuck in a net, or if you hover over the ability to throw a net, you cannot actually see what that does. The only way to see is to google, or for a unit that is under your control to be under the affect while it is that units turn. You cannot check your roster when map events pop up (this is fine in the case of the enemy engaging you events, of course. Gotta be ready to get jumped.) so if you are doing the cultist start, and Davkul requires a sacrifice, it only drops names and you cannot check who actually does what. I'm sorry... but sometimes I don't really remember who is of more value, Ecbert the Goat Sniffer or Edelbard the Shriven Cock. I think it would be fair to let me check, but in a roleplay sense at times I get it. RNG in this game is... random. I would bet my life savings that my RNG is reasonably below the average of every die my game has rolled. I don't think it actually is having a bias behind the scenes, but it is frustrating. Every time I try to justify putting it down, or giving a negative review, I think of genuine criticisms of my approach the to game, and boot the fucker back up. I don't know. In a lot of ways, it is truly brilliant. In some ways, it feels underdeveloped for a game that will not likely be receiving any more updates since the dev team is working on another game project. Just based on looking at their page on Steam, Battle Brothers is this teams (at least as a team, I doubt individually) first game. Bravo. Phenominal fucking job. But when recommending a game, I do not grade on a curve. And so I must say that there is work to be done still here, but fuck me I have been shredding this game lately. Got it a long time ago, but clocked in 30 hours in the last 6-7 days.
A very tough and frustrating game. if you like overcoming challenges, this game is for you. While there is rng, you can mitigate it with proper tactics and equipment.
