July 2025
Overall, a polished title with an excellent soundtrack, beautiful dystopian aesthetics, coupled with simple gameplay filled with variety and replayability. It's perfect for a low-commitment gaming session at the end of a busy day. Egged on by an adrenaline-pumping synthwave soundtrack, you pilot a mech as a mercenary hired by a corporation seeking to wrest back control of Solo Nobre from an authoritarian regime - and neither side are saints. You have the choice of playing the campaign or going on freelance missions - while both provide a similar gameplay experience, the story missions serve as a tutorial that eases you into the various mech playstyles, coupled with some world-building lore. The lore of Brigador is deeper than perceived and while text-based, is supported by superb writing. Gameplay is straightforward (note: pilot mech, shoot stuff, use tactics, complete mission) but chaotically fun. Experimenting with the different weapon combinations and mech types is a joy - the possibilities are endless: you can ride a motorcycle with a big mounted "F-U" cannon and machine guns on top or a giant mech with huge cluster mortars that can level an entire neighbourhood in a couple of seconds. Destruction is highly satisfying, and the sound design is crisp. Recommended (especially if it's on sale)! A-

Brigador, the freshman creation of “Stellar Jockeys” studio, kitbashes tactical gameplay, real time strategy and brilliant sci-fi writing into one of the most replayable games to ever grace my steam library. Gameplay involves strategically liquidating the in-game world to enable the faceless corporate cancer that hires your so-called “brigador” to achieve economic dominance of “Solo Nobre.” You may choose from a staggering variety of unlockable weapons and vehicles in freelance mode, which allows you to play any map in the game, or run through the campaign mode, using preset loadouts and characters. All missions in the game are accented by beautiful hybrid sprite/3D graphics and a concert of gunfire and complimentary synth music. I don’t have much to say other than that it’s perfect. The story is meticulous, but largely told through a mosaic of descriptions, briefings, stories and so-on, all within unique character perspectives. It’s good, classic sci-fi, certainly deserving of the two novels accompanying it. Even at the high end of the asking price, the game is beyond worth it. As of 2025, this is a fully finished game that’s had several free DLC sized updates and a complete overhaul. Also, there’s a killdozer. 10/10, can't recommend enough.

Do a war crime: The Video Game. Commit yourself to one of the tightest playing and best presented digital violations of the sanctity of human life and the safety of non-combatants as you play as a collection of mercenary scum in a host of armoured vehicles. You are mercenary scum hired to obliterate local forces and demolish local infrastructure for your contractor. In the wake of the political assassination of their leader, Solo Nobre is in a state ripe for a monster like you to take advantage of for profit. Enjoy a wonderful soundscape of synth tunes and surprising tactical depth in moment to moment gameplay. Go to sleep trying not to picture an ocean of yellow raincoats.

The sober scifi setting is superb, and the audiobook only augments the bleak war story of the game. Gameplay is quite satisfying, its a toned down and feasible iteration of mech combat. Scratches that itch of well developed military scifi.
