Full Release
It's here and it's done! We're excited to see the finished Battle Brothers graduate from Early Access and be fully released today, on March 24th, 2017.

Creating this game together with you has been a long and rewarding adventure, and we're very happy with what the game has grown to become. We hope you enjoy playing Battle Brothers as much as we enjoyed developing it - and given a successful launch, this won't be the end of the road.

With the game's release, the soundtrack is now also available as a separate DLC. If you're the owner of the Deluxe or Supporter edition, it'll be automatically delivered to you via Steam. The Art & Lore book will become available in the coming weeks.

Let's celebrate this momentous occasion with our new story trailer for launch and final feature list of the Battle Brothers 1.0 release.

About Battle Brothers
Battle Brothers is a turn based tactical RPG 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. Do you have what it takes to lead them through bloody battles and to victory?

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.

• Manage a medieval mercenary company in a procedurally generated open world.
• Fight complex turn-based tactical battles with historical equipment and brutal injuries.
• Permadeath. All characters that die in combat will stay dead - unless they return as the undead.
• All characters come with their own background stories and traits. Want a stuttering ratcatcher, a greedy witch hunter or a drunkard disowned noble?
• Character development without a restrictive class-system. Each character gains experience through combat, can level up and acquire powerful perks.
• Equipment that matters. Different weapons grant unique skills - split shields with axes, stun enemies with maces, form a spearwall with spears or crush armor with a warhammer.
• Diverse enemy roster. All enemies have unique equipment, skills and AI behavior.
• A dynamic event system with atmospheric encounters and tough decisions outside of combat.
• Three late game crises - a war between noble houses, a greenskin invasion and an undead scourge - add a looming threat.
• Two full hours of orchestral soundtrack.
• 70 Steam Achievements and Steam Trading Cards.

With Battle Brothers we thrive to reflect the creativity, complexity and originality from the old days when game developers where passionate gamers, not corporate businessmen.
