Why did you guys never tell me about this game wtf

the madmen did it, they made a good turn based roguelike. i cant believe this. first in history.

this is one of those games that's so good, i get upset that it has less than a thousand reviews on steam


No fucking idea what Im doing but holy shit this game slaps on every circle of hell

edit: Just finished the game!! cried

Really epic, looking forward to the next game by Hieronymus Bosch

It's hard for me to talk about how aesthetically interesting this game is without spoiling most of it but I'll try. The artstyle is unique of course, but the small touches on every enemy and zone really take it up a notch. There is SO much original music, (and even a dynamic track that I love so much). Also one of the late bosses has one of my favorite boss designs of all time. Really good game go buy it now :3

why do the fish have boobies

The music in this game slaps. The artwork in this game slaps. It just oozes style from (almost) every pore. Unfortunately for me, the mechanics are kind of confusing, and the game gets very complex as you go on...

Not my kind of game after the first few levels, but it's still great fun and I'm sure it has its audience.

Incredible spritework. Gameplay remains solid whether you're just starting out or on run #[arbitrarily high number]. Great music that remains fresh and great even after listening to it for so long. Word of 'warning,' the game isn't massive, and you could realistically grind out 100% pretty quickly. Even so, the gameplay loop is still fun enough in itself to not be burdened by a lack of further progression. (And this isn't factored into the scoring, but there's also much to love if you happen to be a fan of LISA: the Painful and it's fanworks.)

the best turn-based rogue-like i've ever played

Brutal orchestra asks a bold question, what if turn based rougelikes were good
Edit:
Holy fuck this game is phenomenal

It's a crime that this game is barely known by anyone. It's not only an excellently designed turn based team strategy but also a piece of cool retrospective on art and mortality.

genuinely the best roguelike ever made

I'm blown away on how fantastic this game was. It looks so good with awesome designs and animations, its soundtrack is a real jammer and I was thrown for a loop adjusting to its difficulty changes overtime. The combat gave me major Lisa Hard Mode feels, where battles can be as difficult as they're made out to be, but sometimes sacrifices are the only way out. Any fan of Roguelites need to play this game, its a really special one

Possibly the best turn-based combat system of all time; you can even take estrogen!

Absolutely wild that it took this long for someone to make a game with a fun turn based combat system.

Brutal Orchestra é mais um Roguelike que cai na mesma armadilha que 90% dos jogos desse estilo caem: a porra da estrutura de gameplay, o gameplay loop. O que isso afeta? Simples, torna uma caralhada que aspectos interessantes em coisas maçantes. Gostei da arte? Sim, mas já tô cansado de ver as mesmas paisagens e personagens de novo e de novo; Gostei da trilha? Pra caralho, porém até onde estou ela já perdeu o impacto; Gostei dos diálogos e da história? Demais mano, entretanto depois da minha 1143143413513456 run eu já estou pouco me fodendo para o que acontece ao meu redor; E do combate? Tu curtiu? Sim cara, tem umas ideias bem interessantes, mas eu já estou quase cheatando o jogo para poder skipar os encontros. Em síntese, o jogo quer que eu cague para ele.

Honestamente, se tu curte Roguelike talvez valha a pena dar uma olhada em virtude das boas recomendações. Todavia, em meu caso, só quero mandar esse jogo tomar no cu e ir jogar outra coisa que vale mais a pena jogar.

0/10




apesar disso, quero conhecer os outros jogos dos developers

This game oozes style. The art, the music, the animations, all fantastic. I am very surprised this game did not make a bigger splash. I am also surprised as to how I did not hear about this game for so long after it came out.

Everything in this game screams passion. The combat itself is really interesting with a strategic position based turn based RPG system. The game is a roguelite, however quests carry over from run to run, so you can slowly but surely complete quests and unlock new party members and items.

One of the larger drives of this game is how the difficulty increases as you get better at the game. Many players get confused when they hear this game is difficult, only for them to breeze through it. They simply did not get far enough.

I highly recommend this game.


It's a game that looks super simple and is pretty easy to understand that has very deep mechanics and is super challenging. A really good turn-based roguelike, that just wasn't for me. If you enjoy turn-based combat then you should probably go pick up this game as soon as possible.

I'm not usually a fan of rogue-likes, but the turn-based combat of this game scratched my brain so exceptionally, it was hard to stop playing and do other things. The music bangs, the story made me more emotional than I was expecting, and my only real critique is that I'd love more of it. All good things must come to an end, and what a beautiful ending it was

Please play this game, it is genuinely one of the best rpgs I’ve ever played. It had a phenomenal combat system, a great story, is rather funny, and is just a game i’d recommend to just about anyone


Brutal is half of the name of the game.

Brutal Orchestra is a RPG rogue-like stylized similar to other indie RPGs such as Hylics and LISA. It's brutally hard, a normal encounter can completely wipe your team, but when everything goes right it feels sooo good. I really like all of the boss designs, they're disgusting and fun to fight. Managing resources and positioning teammates to have a gangbuster round that annihilates the enemy while taking no damage is extremely satisfying. I don't normally like rogue-likes but this one is good.

haven't finished, but really cool

Funny dialogues, memorable characters, fun gameplay.

Replayability could improve, specially in such a short title.
