The Discriminating Gamer

Welcome back to Hexed And Countered! In this video, Joe jumps back into Battle Brothers, the punishing, turn-based tactical RPG developed by Overhype Studios. Starting fresh with a brand new mercenary company—"The Hexed"—things quickly get brutal in the southern city-state arenas, showing firsthand just how unforgiving this game can be. After dusting ourselves off and restarting the run, we rebuild the roster, gear up our brothers, take on contracts, and hunt down Hoggart the Weasel to establish our company's renown. If you enjoy tactical strategy, turn-based gameplay, and gritty mercenary management, make sure to like, comment, and subscribe for Part 2!
