Brigador is one of the most criminally overlooked indie games ever made. It launched in 2016 to almost no audience due to poor marketing and unfortunate timing, despite being an outstanding game. Thankfully, Up-Armored Edition gave it the second chance it deserved, and today it's easier than ever to appreciate this hidden gem. The gameplay is phenomenal. Every mech, tank, and hovercraft feels distinct, the fully destructible environments are endlessly satisfying, and missions reward planning just as much as raw firepower. Add gorgeous voxel visuals, a rich cyberpunk world, and an incredible sense of atmosphere, and you've got something truly special. But the real star is the soundtrack by Makeup and Vanity Set—one of the greatest synthwave OSTs ever composed, and one that perfectly defines the game's identity. It has a steep learning curve and some clunky menus, but if you stick with it, Brigador offers an experience unlike anything else, with a lot of replayability value. A cult classic that deserved far more attention than it received.
A Brilliant Game That Isn't What You Think It Is It may look like a twin stick shooter, but Brigador is actually a top-down tactical vehicle combat game that's a weird mix between simulation and arcade elements. It can feel "clunky" at first, but once you figure out what's going on you'll realize that's a result of the subtleties of the gameplay. I strongly recommend you switch the control scheme to "relative" for tanks and mechs. It's the way the game was intended to be played and allows you to precisely control your vehicle's facing, which is important because you take reduced damage from the front and increased damage from the rear. When playing in the default "absolute" mode these vehicle types still have a turning circle so it feels really clunky. Fun! It's a game where you blow stuff up. Pretty much everything in the map can be destroyed, and when you destroy it, it smashes apart in a satisfying way. Deep Gameplay Although this is a game where you absorb shield and ammo pickups from dead enemies and see through walls, there's a lot of nuance to controlling your chosen vehicle, which makes the game much more difficult than you'd expect but also far more rewarding to master. For example, your weapons aim at a point a small distance above your crosshair, and follow the actual line from the barrel, which might be mounted high or low, left or right from the centre of your vehicle. Your projectiles have travel time (unless they're a laser) and inherit the momentum of your vehicle. Different targets have different heights, and you can actually shoot under floating vehicles. All this means it's more complicated to hit your target than you might expect, but when you do get good and manage to snipe jet-bikes out of the air with recoilless rifle shots, or manipulate your arc to collateral four enemies, you do really feel like a badass. Variety There's a huge number of vehicles and weapons to try, and although some are similar there's still a wide range of playstyles supported by the roster. There are straight-forward killing machines that could only be defeated by poor ammo-conservation, lightning-fast bikes that weave around enemies, weird little munchkin mechs that punch above their weight, and much more. The campaign does a really good job of demonstrating these various playstyles (you have a choice of four preset vehicles per mission). To a certain extent, they are also your difficulty setting, because some are borderline overpowered whilst others feel almost like troll-picks, with most being somewhere between. Looks Awesome, Sounds Awesome If you like electronic music and the grungy sprite-based graphics then you're in for a treat. The gritty atmosphere is great and oozes out of every aspect of the game. The lore is actually pretty well-written too, not that you actually have to pay any attention to it. Criticism The main complaint I have is about visual clarity. It can be hard to tell what is flat ground and what is debris sometimes, especially on night maps (which is like... half of them?) and this often results in getting "snagged" on obstacles. Explosive objects are also a major hazard, but they're not consistently sign-posted and can be easy to miss in the heat of the moment (EG explosive pipes are dark grey with dark green accents). Veterans will eventually be traumatised into clocking the explosive props, but expect a lot of cheap deaths to these. Powered-down enemies also blend into the background quite well, and this can result in you stumbling into the middle of a large group of them. All of the above can easily get you killed (possibly instantly if you're in one of the lighter vehicles) and it'll be a frustrating death when it happens. Freelance mode was also a bit disappointing to me. Here you choose your own difficulty and get to fully customize your vehicle's loadout (you do have to buy stuff, but money is easy to get). The problem is the best builds trivialize even the highest difficulty, and if you're playing something suboptimal it can be hard to know which magic difficulty number to pick. If you've made something too strong, the only way to make the game harder is to try and play a large number of missions in sequence (you don't recover health or ammo), but playing the same vehicle for 10+ missions straight whilst being slowly chipped down isn't very fun. It feels a little bit like playtesting scenarios that you've designed, which isn't as satisfying as doing your best to beat a specific challenge (which is what the campaign is). Conclusion Overall it's a great little game that I have come back to several times over the years when I just need some low-commitment action.
If you ever played Sim City 3000 and thought, “Nice town… shame if someone showed up in a giant mech and absolutely ruined everything,” well — congratulations, your moment has arrived. Brigador: Up‑Armored Edition delivers crispy high‑res visuals straight out of a 90s Apple G4 fever dream, a soundtrack that slaps harder than it has any right to, and gameplay that’s tough to master but glorious once everything finally clicks. Tons of missions, tons of mechs, tons of explosions. And did I mention the soundtrack is superb? Because it is. Really superb.
