  Battle Brothers is easily the kind of game you can play over and over again without experiencing it in quite the same way twice. There is a lot to explore and different ways to find your fortune, if you’re up for the strategic challenge.

  So I turned off my Switch and booted up my PC. I started a new game of Battle Brothers on that. And you know what? It’s as good as it ever was. A truly superlative strategy game made better with mods. I could not recommend Battle Brothers enough, but do yourself a favor and avoid the Nintendo Switch version.

  Battle Brothers is a turn-based tactical RPG with a super high difficulty that requires tactical thinking and a lot of trial and error to be played in a good fashion. It may not be the best port to the Nintendo Switch but it definitely adds a great tactical game to the line-up of the games you can play on the hybrid console. Building up a successful mercenary company can be quite a lot of fun after learning the ins and outs of this game.

  Battle Brothers is actually a very enjoyable experience. I strongly recommend those looking for a challenging turn-based RPG to give Battle Brothers a try, not just for the complexity of building the perfect company of brothers, but also for its stunning soundtrack and art style.

  The breadth of dialogue, world-building paragraphs, and light agency in storytelling let you build the world according to what you hear. It’s a world I want to dive into again and again, even if I know this incarnation will be just as taxing.

  Overall, Battle Brothers is a solid, exhilarating experience that might turn away some players due to its difficulty, but attract others because of its challenge. The strategic options and statistics are complex, the gameplay is tough but not overly difficult. At its heart, the game provides a deep, tactical experience that is both challenging and rewarding for players to enjoy.
