Easy to learn and hard to master. If you enjoy creative gaming where you can assemble your own band of warriors and kit them out with weapons and armour, then look no further. Your journey will be emotional especially if you play Ironman mode, because you could see a brother die instantly, whether that be by the hand of an Orc axe strike or by the unlucky landed arrow in his face! Pride will visit your gaming session when your company of brothers lines up for battle, each piece of gear having been hard earned and each man's life on the line. You will eventually recall the names of the fallen that fought so bravely.

So its not the AAA graphics and big screen drama, but it is an endearing and addictive game play. I could go in to a lot of detail about strategic depth and variety, but I know there are good guides on the community hub of which I have noticed are always happy to help and answer those frustrating questions. Yes there is some frustration in this game, especially with the talents. I find them to be good options for your own creations, or you can just go with those archetypes already planned out in the game guides. There is no one fit all solution, and that is where a lot of the creative choice filters in to the game. Each brother has his own background and potential, one might be a good archer, another perhaps a good future duellist? Experiment with options and see them fail and succeed. Alternatively just look at the guides and try what has stood the test of time.

Note, this game will teach you the concept of the need to retreat when necessary. Be prepared to use the retreat order and live to fight another day!

I give Battle Brothers graphics 5 out of 10 and for everything else 10 out of 10!
(Just to be clear the 5 out of 10 isn't due to the missing legs!)

If you have patience, I highly recommend this game to you.
