The acclaimed turn-based tactical RPG Battle Brothers, developed by Overhype Studios and brought to consoles by Ukiyo Publishing, is now available on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Battle Brothers releases at a price of €27.99/$29.99/£22.99 for the base version, with a 20% off release discount on both consoles; the game’s Complete Edition, with all its expansion DLC included, is also available.
Battle Brothers comes today to Sony and Microsoft consoles (PS4/PS5 and Xbox One/Series X) after being released on Nintendo Switch on March 11th, 2020. The game has been universally praised for its deep tactical gameplay and its world-building and emergent narrative; Battle Brothers is a turn-based strategy RPG mix 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.
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.
