While doing this we took a lot of inspiration from some of the best games out there: The original X-Com, Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat and Jagged Alliance. With Battle Brothers we strive to reflect the creativity, complexity and originality from the old days when game developers were passionate gamers, not corporate businessmen. We are devoted to making great games that we want to play ourselves. Overhype Studios is an independent game developer studio from Hamburg, Germany.

Each character gains experience through combat, can level up and acquire powerful perks. Character development without a restrictive class-system.Want a stuttering ratcatcher, a greedy witch hunter or a drunkard disowned noble? All characters come with their own background stories and traits.All characters that die in combat will stay dead – unless they return as the undead. Fight complex turn-based tactical battles with historical equipment and brutal injuries.Manage a medieval mercenary company in a procedurally generated open world.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. This is also where you manage, level up and equip your Battle Brothers.

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. The game consists of a strategic worldmap and a tactical combat layer.
