Brigador Up-Armored Edition

Brigador is an isometric vehicle combat game with the production values of something twice its size. You play mercenary pilots betraying the cyberpunk autocracy of the planet Solo Nobre — looking for the big payout and a ticket off-world — and the moment-to-moment gameplay is fast-paced top-down combat across environments that are 100% destructible.

The vehicle roster is enormous. Fifty-six different mechs, tanks and hovercraft can be unlocked across the game, and forty weapons sit in the loadout pool. Mixing chassis and weapons produces wildly different playstyles — a slow tank with rail cannon and rocket launchers feels nothing like a fast hovercraft with energy weapons, and the freelance mode lets you pick whichever combination you want. Money earned from destruction in any mode goes back into unlocking more vehicles and weapons.

The destruction is the visual centerpiece. Buildings collapse properly when shot through. Cover comes apart in real time. Whole streets can be reduced to rubble across the course of a long mission. The lush, revivalist graphic style reminds players of what '90s isometric games would look like with modern hardware — the aesthetic is deliberate and absolutely specific to Stellar Jockeys' design language.

Campaign Mode runs through 37 story-driven missions; Freelance Mode opens 20-plus maps for objective-driven play with vehicle and weapon flexibility. A modkit ships with the game for custom map and scenario creation. Over two hours of original synth music by Makeup & Vanity Set (the artist behind the Drive-adjacent retrowave wave) carries the atmosphere across every level. The Up-Armored Edition is the expanded version of the original release — the definitive way to play.
