6.8/10
Brigador Killers
Brigador Killers is Stellar Jockeys’ Early Access follow-up to the cult isometric Brigador — now an insurgency sim where you fight on foot and in stolen armor, scavenge a private arsenal, and take the war to the SNC on Mar Nosso. Expect destructive tactical sandbox missions, Makeup and Vanity Set violence-as-soundtrack, and systems still in flux through 2026. Best for Brigador fans and patient EA buyers; wait if you need a finished campaign or non-English/Linux day one.
