Darkest Dungeon meets The Black Company meets M&B meets Final Fantasy Tactics. Death comes quickly in Battle Brothers, but experience pays as you learn how to keep your company alive. The critical hit/wound system is excellent. The perks and jobs layer adds a random uniqueness to your sellswords. While it is Early Access, there is a lot to enjoy here. If they can implement a storyline to pull you across the map, then this game becomes exceptional. As is, I can easily recommend it to anyone who loved Darkest Dungeon.

Sample mission: Kill the Graverobbers
Easy enough. I timed my arrival so the company would begin the assault at noon (not at night because that kills your visibility and you archers' effectiveness). We met with a few graverobbers and they were easily dispatched in a hail of arrows. The last remaining graverobber turned tail and ran. I was offered the chance to leave the battle, but I wanted to finish him off. I released my war hound and he took off after the guy who'd just disappeared from my line-of-sight. I send a few guys to follow after the dog - who closes in on the runner. Unfortunately, there is another thug hiding in the woods with a spear. The two grave robbers finish off my beloved hound and then retreat off the map before I can deliver justice. That was a hard lesson. I loved that dog.
