Battle Brothers Review

Thorismund wasn’t very special. As our campaign started, as they all do in Overhype Gaming’s Battle Brothers, with our band being slaughtered by Hoggart and his men, he was one of the three that was left. In our very next fight, where he was one of seven in the band as we took revenge against Hoggart, Thorismund was struck down with a permanent injury. Brain damage, the game told me; one of many injuries your men can take in the line of duty. So be it, I thought, and armed him with a two handed axe. He can go at the front, take some damage, and die valiantly for the company. That’s all he’ll be good for. Yet Thorismund, despite his addled state and lack of understanding about colours, standing and which way is up, had other ideas. He took three heads off at the shoulders in that battle. Then another two in the next fight. Whenever Thorismund got a kill, the head came off. Every. Single. Time. Thus, Thorismund Headtaker was born; and he would not die.

Summary

Battle Brothers is a fantastic turn-based RPG with some real time elements as well. It has a superb graphical style, excellent music which changes depending on what you're doing, as well as addictive gameplay which will just keep you coming back. Any XCOM fan who has even a slight interest in a Game of Thrones style world must buy this!

Score 4.8/5
