Codex Review RPG Codex Review: Battle Brothers

[Irenaeus]

Roxor doesn't like it?

Must be p. gud.

Wait, so PoE is good again?

 

[Blaine]

No, he was right about PoE.

Anyway, I already own BB but haven't played it since many iterations ago.

Are you having fun reading this or do you intend to spill the beans on Davkul in the future? :D

It's amusing, but yeah I'm not spilling nothing.

Spoiler

If you have a criminal brother (Thief, Raider, Killer on the Run etc) you may get an event where guards from House X come to take him away. You can fight/bribe/give up. HOWEVER, there is a fourth option: telling them "I'm friends with House X, so fuck off". That's only available IF you have high relations with a particular noble family

Spoiler

I think, you can also lie to them and tell that bro is dead, because he is scarred and disfigured now and looks nothing like before.

 

[abnaxus]

Bro don't shoot Battle Bros in cold bold bro.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Not sure if Battle Brothers is entertaining, but this thread certainly has been!

 

[Blaine]

It helps to bear in mind that no one actually cares what the Codex nor any of its staff and regulars think about computer games—or about anything at all, for that matter. We're stingy, irrelevant old has-beens meriting approximately the same consideration as old men who spend their weekends playing checkers in the food court of a near-abandoned mall featuring only a GNC, a Bath and Body Works, three nail salons, two churches, a Chinese food kiosk, a dark and shuttered JC Penney's, and crippling depression.

Once you fully internalize this fact, you can learn to be more like our leader DarkUnderlord and give literally not even one single fuck about anything.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

The cult around "Betrayal at Krondor" in this site is intolerable. Obviously, we need a review to set this straight.

Motherfucker you take that back right now.

 

[you know what time it is]

My biggest gripe with this game is the lack of mod support.

 

[Darth Roxor]

He already answered: couldn't be arsed to use his brain while playing, picked perks at random, got his ass handed to him, decided to trash a good game out of spite. That sums it all up.

yeah i remember all the perks i picked at random 4 days into the game

"HUR DURR, MY BUILD IS JUST AS GOOD AS EVERY OTHER BUILD. EXCEPT MINE DOESN'T WORK

can you even read?

can you?

i suggest taking off your butthurt goggles

 

[Reinhardt]

you should "play" the part of an oblivious popamole Rock Paper Shotgun reviewer to farm prosper ratings

ftfy

wrong strategy

battle brothers is problematic because i cant have female bros

 

[ERYFKRAD]

female bros

Wut

 

[Darth Roxor]

its current year goddammit

 

[ERYFKRAD]

But wouldn't that just be battle sororitas?

 

[Darth Roxor]

also, this thrad reminds me of sth

 

[HiddenX]

Do you guys like RPGs at all?

 

[Infinitron]

also, this thrad reminds me of sth

 

[Blaine]

I can see that I must have been mistaken about Infinitron's relevance, because he's deployed an ancient and painfully unfunny Reddit meme. Clearly, this is a man with two fingers on the pulse of the people.

Well, two can play at that game. I'm still hip!

 

[SausageInYourFace]

battle sororitas

40k mod when

 

[Trash]

Well, that's another trademark roxor review. Tryhard edgelordism meets genuine curiosity and inspection. That said, I've been something of a fan since the EA and I must admit that I came away a bit underwhelmed with the final release. There's just so much of the content that I felt needed for the game to really shine and was always expecting to show up that never made it. There is a lot to love and the whole setting, artstyle, gameplay and especially the battles are top notch. It does however feel a bit ligt. Buildings on the battle maps got cut, indoor areas like dungeons got cut, demon faction got cut, bridges on worldmap and battlemap got cut. All stuff that was shown and did not make it. And for me, that stuff would have made the difference between a flawed gem and a timeless classsic.

It's a great little game. Just not the amazing piece of incline I was hoping for.

 

[Arthandas]

Yeah, someone should mod the rest out of 58 genders.

 

[SausageInYourFace]

Buildings on the battle maps got cut, indoor areas like dungeons got cut, demon faction got cut, bridges on worldmap and battlemap got cut. All stuff that was shown and did not make it.

Is that right? Any word if stuff might be added in future content updates or so?

 

[UnknownBro]

A very accurate review.

It's a shame really, maybe if they add mod support or balance the game and add more content this could become a decent game. As it is right now, playing it is an exercise in futility and with many frustrations along the way.

And thanks god for pirate-demo-bay.

It's pretty much all there in the BB thread. Perhaps some of it will show if there are ever any meaningful dlc/expansions. Mind you, that are a lot of ifs.
