Burden is essentially feature complete!

Now we are starting a new wave of playtesting to balance and debug. Only remaining gameplay feature is 'Mindsets' (a leadership lite skill tree).

A WWII leader needs a clear understanding of the tactical battlefield. This Line of Sight (LOS) tool gets you there!

 

[Infinitron]

Burden of Command is a leadership RPG. You will pick leadership Mindsets like Cunning, Discipline, Professionalism or Caution to define your style. These Mindsets effect narrative and gameplay. How will you lead in this turn based tactical RPG?

 

[Infinitron]

Who will you be as a leader? You'll choose your Mindsets (skills), actions on and off the battlefield, and of course your appearance!
Portrait by note Total War artist Mariusz Kozik.

Who will you be as a leader in this WWII tactical game.

The Cottonbalers (7th Regiment/3rd Infantry Division) drew in part on Mexican-American population at the time. For example, PFC Jose Valdez was a Medal of Honor winner and Cottonbaler.

So we wanted to include an Hispanic officer as an option.

What kind of fools put footnotes in a video game? Doh!
But are we so insane? Let us know your thoughts

Noted Total War artist Mariusz Kozik - whom we are privileged to have as our portrait artist - suggested this alternative brand image. Which do you prefer? Please vote in comments and why. Note he did both

Is this a serious question? While the existing one may appear generic, it is still light years better than the alternative. What is even the point of that hand?

I suspect they just want to tell the artist something along the lines of "See retard, no one likes you shitty idea, now fuck off." Internal politics of the studio and all that.

Our first buyer's guide. For boardgamers. "Squad Leader meets Band of Brothers?"

 

[Old Hans]

this game has the weirdest development. feels like the entire thing is being run by some kind of deep leaning AI who keeps putting out these youtube videos
