Battle Lads

Burning Bagel Games LLC

The demo of Battle Lads lets you play as the Beastmen and Mad tribes as you take on the early Crucibles. You'll encounter the Synths and Slashers, as well as many dangers and power-ups found on the Shifting Isles. This is an early gameplay preview. We would love to build the game along with the community, any feedback you have is appreciated!

We wanted big war strategy without the time commitment. Plan on a turn-based map, fight the battles in real time, and lead tribes like the Synths and Ronin through short, replayable campaigns.
