14 DAY TRIAL // Battle Brothers, one of those little gems that I, thankfully, got to discover a few years ago, is getting a Nintendo Switch release, developer Overhype Studios announced. The game will make its debut on Nintendo's platform on March 11, but pre-orders are already open and offer a 15% discount on the base game and all of its add-on content.
The core game will be available for purchase for $30 / €28 / £23, while the bundle that includes the main game and premium DLC expansions: Beasts & Exploration, Warriors of the North, and Blazing Deserts, will sell for $61 / €59 / £51, offering an additional 5% savings.
If you haven't heard about Battler Brothers, then you'll want to know that the game was launched back in 2017 and it was well-received by both media critics and fans of the genre. Battle Brothers is an unforgiving turn-based tactical RPG in which players gather their own mercenary band in a gritty, medieval fantasy world.
Players not only recruit and lead their mercenaries in battle, but they also take on contracts, manage their budget, equip their crew, and feeds them. There are multiple classes available in Battle Brothers, so knowing what individual is best in a certain scenario is the key to success.
However, more important than maintaining a healthy ragtag and winning battles is to know when to retreat and cut your losses. Once you lose your entire army it's game over and you have to start over again without retaining anything, save the experience.
The only piece of advice I can give to those who plan to pick this one up when it releases on the Nintendo Switch next month is to not get attached to any soldier in your squad. In Battle Brothers, once you lose a soldier, they're gone forever and you'll have to replace it with another one.
