Battle Brothers -- bloody addictive game

[Rico]

Have you encountered and undead Priest yet? I did, yesterday. He had all sorts of fun tricks. Retreat, reload.

Nope, not yet ... something to look forward to ... ... ran into a Lindwurm ... actually, 3 of them... nasty big scaly worms with acid blood ... lovely. (not my screenshot)

Early Battle Brothers concept art...

I'm very glad they went with a more gritty, less cartoonish art. I'm not sure I would even be interested in playing the game had they kept the style of that concept art.

I agree -- even prefer the torso only figures once you get used to them ... works well with limited animation.
Good use of limited resources by the developers

Indeed, the art style is what makes it special in my opinion.

 

[Meat Grinder]

@Rico @Unfriendly Completely agree.

ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH You are NOT helping my sanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (or bank balance, or work ethic..... )

 

[Alpha Zwo]

Well, I have to admit I like the Early Battle Brothers concept art. Any chance to have this in the game?

 

[Meat Grinder]

@Alpha Zwo No, sorry.

The torso figures remind me of chees pieces, which in turn I find comforting as I play chess from time to time.

Yes, I believe the final "torso" figures were intended to give a board game or miniatures feel to this game. They are far superior to the kiddy cartoon feel of the early concept art, IMHO, given the grim nature of this game.

So much for the zombie apocalypse. Veteran level, baby!

 

[Meat Grinder]

@Rico Yep, you were right. Old Volker done decided he had enough! If it don't smell like a mortuary, Volker ain't having none of it!



Well, hehe, old Meat Grinder was ready to step right in and claim ol' Volker's big ass sword and his helm. There's a new sherrif in town boys, and he might be missing a finger and a toe or two, but you're gonna be missing your head if you mess with him! ;-)

That two -handed sword is really cool to have -- turns the wielded into a bit of an arrow and crossbow bolt magnet, but if used judiciously and with good timing, an awesome weapon.

Played Battle Brothers last night, the first time in a while and it started all tits up.
Ambushed by brigands in a forest.

Alas, @Nelson1812 didn't make it. This was the best result after 4 reloads.

We return to a town to collect payment for mission @Shorker starts acting weird.

At least it doesn't scare of a new recruit @Zinzan

And along the way...

The Fallen FGM.
