Your Battle Brother’s skills and abilities are given by their equipment and weapons. Level them up and aquire new, powerful perks to fit your own strategy. Each Battle Brother gains experience through combat.

All enemies have unique skills and unique AI behavior, and you have to adjust your tactics if you want to stand a chance. Use the high grounds for your tactical advantage! Increase the range of your archers or repell overwhelming attacks against unsurmountable enemy numbers. Send your rangers through the woods into the back of the enemy while your armored shieldbearers stall the enemy attack. Field up to 12 Battle Brothers at the same time on huge combat maps. This is not checkers, this is a complex combat simulation. So you better think twice about that suicide charge with your most experienced Brother. If a Battle Brother is killed in combat he is dead forever, his experience and skills will be lost. No boring linear missions, you decide where to go and what to do! But with choice come consequences – the world will change permanently as the invasion sweeps the lands, and you may just find a town burned to the ground if you don’t come to its aid. Worldmap, combat maps, characters and even the nature of the invasion itself are procedurally generated. Both the worldmap and the combat maps are procedurally generated so no two playthroughs will ever be alike.

Once you move close to an enemy force or potentially dangerous place you will switch to the tactical combat map where the actual fighting takes place. This is also where you manage, level up and equip your troops and chose the next target of your traveling party. On the worldmap you can choose where to travel next in order to find places worth looting, enemies worth pursuing or towns to resupply and hire men at. The game consists of a strategic layer, or worldmap, and a tactical combat layer. The gameplay is inspired by such classics as X-Com: UFO Defense and Jagged Alliance. Battle Brothers is a turn based strategy RPG mix wherein you lead a band of mercenaries in a medieval fantasy world on the hunt for coin, fame and legendary artifacts.
