About:
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.
Overhype Studios is an independent game developer studio from Hamburg, Germany. We are devoted to
making great games that we want to play ourselves. With Battle Brothers we thrive to reflect the
creativity, complexity and originality from the old days when game developers where passionate gamers,
not corporate businessmen. While doing this we 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.
