Battle Brothers is a medieval Roguelike turn-based strategy game, best described as an unholy fusion of XCOM, and Mount & Blade, with a healthy heaping of Warhammer Fantasy (or perhaps more accurately, Mordheim) thrown into the mix. Taking the role of the leader of a mercenary company down on its luck, your goal is not to save the world or fight for good but to do anything you can to stay alive, keep your company afloat and your coffers full. Taking place in a Crapsack World, the game will put you up against bands of Greenskins, bandits, a variety of different undead, robber barons, and countless variety of monsters, the answer is not 'when will everything go wrong', it's 'how'.

Battle Brothers was released on March 24, 2017, for Windows on Steam, and the Humble Store after an early access release on April 27, 2015.
