Stopping off at taverns can give you some information and keep your troops’ spirits up, temples can help patch up their injuries. Each town has different facilities to being mindful of the local vicinity does come in handy. It helps if you have a goal in mind as wandering aimlessly seemed to land me in early trouble. That said, I do enjoy pouring through fighter stats and carefully considering what contract to go for. It’s a trial by fire experience and you’ll probably be resorting to your intuition, wiki guides and videos just to get a grip on a best approach. There is a tutorial campaign but, whilst it does deliver things at a slower pace, it doesn’t explicitly teach the player. Preparation is the key to victory and it’s a real tragedy Battle Brothers can’t effectively educate players through a good tutorial. It’s the closest thing Battle Brothers has to down time but the management aspect feels vital.

It does add further pressure on resources like repairs and your provisions. Time advances on the road and days can go by fairly quickly. You can also except contracts that will put you in good standing with the locals. There you can trade, hire new faces and gear up. An overworld map connects towns and settlements your company can travel to. Your goal is to survive against rival companies, savage beasts and bandits as you look to forge a reputation and fortune with your motley crew. Now there’s a console version imminent and, to be honest, it translates to controller pretty well.īattle Brothers places you in charge of a fledgling company of medieval mercenaries. Coming from Overhype Studios, this has had a fairly positive reception on PC.

Hopefully that will change with Battle Brothers. I’ve never really found one I’ve enjoyed and I do struggle to find a foothold in them. If there’s one genre I tend to tiptoe around, it’s tactical turn-based RPGs.
