This game is super fun, and I definitely recommend when on sale. The good 1) fun destructible environments 2) tactical game play that's easy to learn and tough to master 3) reasonably creative lore The not so good: 1) The tank-style control seems needlessly clunky. We can do better isometric movement, the technology has existed for a while. The terrible: 1) the last few missions give you a scalpel to do the job of the hammer, and are thus needlessly difficult. More importantly, they are tedious and not fun. They are supposed to be hard, I know. But those missions left such a bad taste in my mouth that I haven't picked up the game since then, and doubt I will again any time soon. That's my only complaint, but it's a big one. On a different note: The game would benefit so much from a rogue-like mode. Overall, definitely worth it when on sale, great game play and a great game that is only soured by the last 2-3 missions.

I don't know how to phrase this without sounding like a danger to society so I'll just write it out and hope for the best: In 2004, Marvin Heemeyer culminated over a year's worth of conversations with himself and God in his derelict muffler shop turned garage and began his rampage across town. Fitted inside a bulldozer covered in a helmet of QuickCrete and steel plates lowered onto its chassis, the MKTank(or Killdozer) began its caterpillar speed path of destruction across Granby, Colorado. People have a tendency to overstate the "genius" of his design. Don't get me wrong: It got the job done, but it's not a piece of mechanical ingenuity. Anyways, Marvin's one way trip saw him in his beater tank plow through everything until the engine's stress or wear on the coolant systems of his bulldozer began to obscure his already limited vision via security cameras fed to CRT and he toppled into a basement and got stuck. You know how it ends. This game not only has the Killdozer, but it is the essential Killdozer experience. No, not in the Tread On Them t-shirt or whatever sense, I mean that the thing goes like 2mph with only small arms to complement its trampling ability and you'll spend lots of time enjoying the rush of destruction up until an unforeseen issue arises and you die.

Brigador is a fantastic game for mecha fans, combat vehicle enthusiasts, and real-time tactical action enjoyers. While the appearances could be deceiving, and at first this game could be mistaken for a twin-stick shooter, don't be fooled. The early levels of the campaign could be a breeze, but later on the game demands careful ammo management, smart positioning, and quick tactical decision-making. The final levels of the campaign will test you on everything you learned from the early levels. Don't think you're done once you finish the campaign, however. The real meat of the game is in the freelance missions, where you get to choose your vehicle, be it mecha, tank or anti-grav, outfit it with your weapons of choice, choose your pilot, adjust your difficulty and test your skills or just chill and contemplate the beautiful destruction you cause to the banana republic planet of Solo Nobre. Oh, how I love the smell of laser-struck loyalists in the morning, accompanied by an incredible synth & electronic soundtrack. Big selection of vehicles, weapons, adjustible difficulty, variety of play styles, great mecha/vehicle combat with amazing graphics and fantastic soundtrack and massive repolayability. What else could you ask for?

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.
