Manage a medieval mercenary company in a procedurally generated open world.
Battle Brothers is a turn based tactical RPG made by Overhype Studios, an independent game developer studio from Hamburg, Germany. The game took a lot of inspiration from some of best games out there: The original X-Com, Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat, Mount & Blade and Jagged Alliance. Lead a mercenary company in a gritty, low-power, medieval fantasy world. The game consists of a strategic worldmap and a tactical combat layer. 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. 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. 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.
