Six years on, the free DLC keeps coming for tactics RPG Battle Brothers

Of Flesh and Faith is out now for Battle Brothers, a free DLC that’ll add two new origins for your mercenaries and a suite of events and equipment to suit both. We’re big fans of Battle Brothers at PC Gamer, a 2017 tactics RPG that has you run a mercenary company in a hardscrabble fantasy world called The Darklands. Our EIC Evan Lahti even penned a whole ode to Battle Brothers.

One origin, the Oathtakers, sees your troops “follow the teachings of Young Anselm,” fighting for righteousness and swearing oaths that give bonuses and balancing disadvantages until you fulfill them. The other, Anatomists, sees you playing twisted medical types who can dissect fallen foes. They do have a rather exciting description: “Further your research even if they shun you for it, dissect the corpses of your fallen enemies, and devise new ways to empower your men.”
