Battle Brothers is a turn based tactical RPG developed by Overhype Studios set in low fantasy medieval world.

You are the captain of a mercenary company. Get contracts to deal with men and beast alike, hire hedge knights, nomads, monks or even cripples to find a perfect addition to your party, grow stronger, discover and conquer enemy camps and legendary locations to find riches and famed items and more!

The game is very open-ended, you decide what you want to do and when you want to end it, and how. Unless you get ambushed at night and die! :D

Battle Brothers: Reforged

I have been in love with this game for years and it is the one I keep getting back to. But I don't want to talk about that today, maybe another time.

Today I want to bring attention to an overhaul mod called Reforged that has been made public after years of hard work and dedication from its developers. I have had a privilege to help and beta-test the mod for the past year or so. And so I want to give these guys a little bit more exposure because they deserve it. They tried to stick close to vanilla game experience with their vision while adding TONS of new systems and features. And more are still planned, the mod is in active development.

You can read the full description of their work in the quote below (copied from their Nexus page).

  • Download the mod from Nexus or Github.
  • Join Reforged discord if you want to chat about the game, mod itself or need help with installation or resolving a potential bug.

DIFFICULTY
- Reforged is balanced for players of all difficulties and maintains the difficulty options of vanilla Battle Brothers.
- It is recommended that players new to Reforged have a reasonable understanding of vanilla game mechanics and have survived at least one crisis.

INSTALLATION
- Follow our Installation Guide. Requires a fair few framework and utility mods. MSU will prompt you on the main menu if you're missing one.
- Highly recommended to use with:
- MSU Launcher
- Plan Your Perks
- Requires a new game! Not save-game compatible.

COMPATIBILITY
- Reforged is built from the ground up to be as compatible with as many mods as possible. However, Reforged is a massive mod that makes integral changes to many systems, so some mods may have a hard incompatibility. Mods that affect the same systems we do are more likely to be incompatible.
- We recommend experiencing Reforged without other mods first and familiarizing yourself with that experience before making adjustments or adding more.
- Not compatible with other overhaul mods such as Legends and Sellswords.
- See Installation Guide for recommended and compatible mods.
