grinding30 negative mentions
  • Strong worldbuilding and narrative depth with character driven moments and engaging story segments.
  • Solid core gameplay loop blending tactical isometric shooting, vehicular combat, and looter extraction elements.
  • Highly satisfying gunplay, diverse weapon and vehicle customization, and iconic, atmospheric music and sound design.
  • Early Access version has less content than the free demo, with fewer vehicles, rigs, and less polish currently.
  • Inventory management and UI are clunky and unintuitive, making combat healing and looting frustrating.
  • Difficulty spikes are severe and sometimes unfair, with punishing gear loss on death and limited player power in early stages.

  • story

    484 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    11% positive mentions, 86% neutral mentions, 3% negative mentions

    The story in Brigador Killers offers intriguing worldbuilding and a compelling prologue with expanded narrative missions, blending guerrilla warfare themes and a rags-to-riches progression. However, it is currently limited in scope, with a short campaign, repetitive mission structure, punishing difficulty spikes, and significant grind due to resource loss on death, which hampers pacing and player motivation. Fans appreciate the immersive setting and writing but note that more content, better balance, and improved mission variety are needed to fulfill the game's narrative potential.

    • “The extremely strong worldbuilding really gets to shine through with the new narrative missions, and there's a brutality to the combat that simply isn't found in a lot of other games.”
    • “The campaign contains a handful of narrative missions before transitioning into a sandboxy "garage" mode, where you can take on increasingly difficult and lucrative missions with an ever-expanding arsenal of guns, rockets, grenades, IEDs, laser weapons, armored cars and the like.”
    • “The story (so far) is gripping and much more intertwined with the action and player character.”
    • “The story and lore are currently just the bare minimum without any sort of payoff.”
    • “Why even bother with high tier loot if it's just going to sit in my armory back at base because I'm too afraid of the frustration and time wasting I'll go through if I bring it on a mission and get killed by some douche with a gadget 1911?”
    • “Story is really, really unfinished.”

  • gameplay

    158 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    32% positive mentions, 63% neutral mentions, 5% negative mentions

    The gameplay of Brigador Killers offers a solid, addictive tactical insurgency and extraction shooter experience with a strong foundation and engaging combat that balances on-foot stealth/action and vehicular warfare. While praised for its satisfying loot-based progression, strategic depth, and nostalgic ties to the original Brigador, it currently suffers from rough edges such as clunky inventory management, punishing mechanics like item loss on death, limited early-game variety, and an underdeveloped UI that affects pacing and accessibility. Despite these issues, the gameplay loop is compelling and shows great potential, with ongoing development expected to address polish, content depth, and quality-of-life improvements.

    • “Mechanically, the combat is tense, challenging, and forces you to think about the tools you have and how best to use them.”
    • “After several fighting missions, you hit a scavenging mission with an extremely satisfying loot cycle gameplay loop that unlocks your ability to farm gear and vehicle parts and to upgrade your hideout.”
    • “The gameplay loop is a super satisfying refinement on the Brigador formula.”
    • “But the gameplay desperately needs polishing.”
    • “Biggest problem for me is the mechanic of losing your entire inventory when you die. In a game with such a quick time to kill and with merchants being inside levels rather than accessible at home base, this mechanic forces you to farm for gear. If the devs want to keep this mechanic, it should at least be optional as I believe most players would prefer the game without it. An incredibly tedious and non-player friendly mechanic.”
    • “The gameplay parts of it are extremely boring and disjointed from what I expected from all the trailers and promotional material.”

  • music

    78 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    63% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 4% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised as exceptional, with a strong, atmospheric soundtrack that greatly enhances the setting and vibe. Composed by Makeup & Vanity Set, the soundtrack is often called a "certified banger" and a key highlight, matching the game's intense and gritty tone perfectly. While some note it may not surpass the original's soundtrack, it consistently receives high acclaim for its quality and fitting style.

    • “The game is already really fun and the soundtrack knocks it out of the park as usual.”
    • “Absolutely dripping with atmosphere in both its visual and sound design, with a fantastic soundtrack backing it up.”
    • “If you really enjoyed the previous Brigador due to the story and the excellent soundtrack by Makeup and Vanity Set, I'd say grab it now.”
    • “In short, the game feels extremely unfinished even by EA standards, and it needs lots of polish on every aspect that isn't the music.”
    • “- some indication of heat or alertness via audio and visual cues, music shifts”
    • “Not much to say about it, just really solid music fitting the game.”

  • graphics

    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 55% neutral mentions, 7% negative mentions

    The game's graphics receive strong praise for their detailed, immersive art style and impressive visual design, including improved environment destruction, vehicle models, and atmospheric world-building compared to the previous title. However, some users note early access issues such as placeholder assets, jagged sprite edges at close zoom levels, and UI aesthetics needing refinement. Overall, the visuals and aesthetics are considered a standout feature that significantly enhances the game's atmosphere despite some rough edges.

    • “The artwork is incredible to behold, really impressed with what's been shown so far in the environments.”
    • “The graphics, vehicle designs and ambiance are on point and the world building is even better than the previous title.”
    • “Art style is out of this world, I just can't imagine the amount of work and effort it took to make each building/set piece and render it, then make it adjust to lighting per time of day and then blow it up.. holy cow!”
    • “Yes, there’s placeholder graphics, yes it needs tweaking, but again, it’s early access?”
    • “I can definitely see how things have improved compared to the demo - a lot of the artwork and assets have been polished though you can find plenty of early access jank as you play.”
    • “The game is currently in a very very rough state, and while it is fun I would recommend people play the demo and then decide whether they should buy the game or not. As of the time of writing this review the main difference in the early access version and the demo that I have played is 4-6 extra mini tutorial campaign missions and some new maps for scavenging, other than that it is still very rough and the graphics for most items and some NPC portraits are still placeholders.”

  • grinding

    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is frequently described as a tedious and repetitive chore, often involving replaying the same missions to restock ammo and gear, which can feel unrewarding and frustrating. While some players appreciate the gradual progression and find it tolerable due to engaging gameplay, many criticize the lack of variety, punishing mechanics, and unpolished design that make grinding feel like unnecessary busywork rather than a rewarding challenge. Overall, the grind dampens enjoyment for those seeking more dynamic and varied experiences.

    • “If you lose 200 ammo, you have to replay old missions to get that 200 ammo back, which after a while becomes just extremely tedious and boring.”
    • “This discourages any creativity from the player as playing any way other than as slowly, stealthily, and cautiously as possible is punished with pointless grinding.”
    • “With over 20 deaths to finally clear each, I spent more time grinding back equipment and vehicles than I have progressing through the game.”

  • atmosphere

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    45% positive mentions, 55% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game is widely praised for its immersive and cohesive atmosphere, driven by stunning art direction, compelling world-building, and a stellar soundtrack. Reviewers highlight the strong aesthetic and vibe, which significantly enhance the overall experience. The blend of visual and sound design creates a captivating environment that supports the gameplay and lore effectively.

    • “Absolutely dripping with atmosphere in both its visual and sound design, with a fantastic soundtrack backing it up.”
    • “The game has cool art direction, great atmosphere and aesthetics, stellar soundtrack and solid foundation to build upon.”
    • “Like the original, this game has an incredible atmosphere.”

  • humor

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is sharp and often funny, with witty prose, entertaining dialogue, and amusing item descriptions that add charm. While some find the comedic elements underdeveloped given its early access state, moments like the AI's quirky behavior provide genuine laughs. Overall, the humor enhances the experience and leaves players eager for more content.

    • “The prose is sharp and very often funny, and the little bits of dialogue and item descriptions leave you wanting more.”
    • “The AI has its moments of pretending it hasn't just seen you blast its buddy into a fine red mist, which is entertaining in its own way... it's not right, but it's funny.”
    • “I like staring at pictures of absurd mech-scale weapons and reading what kind of super propellants the funny space people use for their high velocity rotary cannons.”

  • stability

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 40% negative mentions

    Stability is generally decent with few bugs, though some users report occasional glitches like disappearing inventory and spawning issues. Performance runs smoothly on certain platforms like Mint and the ROG Ally X, but there are persistent problems with janky controls and graphical bugs.

    • “Surprisingly, it’s been relatively bug-free for an Early Access game. I’ve seen only one bug so far when adding gantries, where a large vehicle was half spawned into the environment.”
    • “The game also runs great natively on Linux Mint.”
    • “I'm playing on a ROG Ally X and it runs great, with much better controller support compared to Armoured Up.”
    • “Outside of that though glitches are still quite common, in my case, disappearing inventory, guns and ammo.”
    • “This is without mentioning all the other issues, controls feel janky, aiming feels bad, shadows are buggy as hell.”

  • replayability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, -33% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game offers a solid 7 to 8 hour campaign with fair replayability, featuring missions that change loot and enemy positions each playthrough. However, improvements are needed in mission variety, AI pathing, and additional content before the full release.

    • “Missions are replayable, the loot and enemy positions are different every time.”
    • “But man... there are a lot of works that need to be done like the replayability for missions, AI pathing, and content, before it hits 1.0.”
    • “Ignoring the obvious hallmarks of an early access game such as placeholder or rough visual assets and some content in the game not being readily accessible through normal play; you get a solid isometric shooter with a 7 to 8 hour campaign and a fair bit of replayability.”
    • “Missions are replayable, with loot and enemy positions different every time.”

  • optimization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game demonstrates improved optimization compared to its demo, delivering smooth performance without crashes. While still in early access with some missing assets, overall graphics and character performance are notably enhanced.

    • “Performance was smooth on my side—no crashes.”
    • “If you've played the demo, this is an upgrade in almost every way. There are still assets missing as it's in early access, but everything from the graphics, the optimization, the characters, is all improved.”

  • emotional

    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Players appreciate the ongoing updates that enhance emotional engagement by improving gameplay balance and expanding the campaign with new missions, contributing to a more satisfying and immersive experience.
