Using the environment for cover or as a weapon is an important tactic to learn. This makes it impossible to know which strategy will be most effective every time and forces the player to adapt to the situations as the present themselves. Each map is laid out the same each time, but enemy placement is randomized. It is pretty clear before you launch what your vehicle will be capable of, and no strategy seems overpowered or underpowered at this point. This variety is a big part of what makes Brigador so appealing, even in its early state. This equates to a tremendous variety of options to tackle each mission before you even launch.

On top of that, each vehicle has a selection of primary and secondary weapons along with an auxiliary option (such as active camo or smoke bombs). Quick hovering vehicles, slow and deliberate tanks, and even walking mechs can be selected, each with a wide range of stats including speed, shields, and armor. As of right now, there are nine selectable vehicles that fit all manner of playstyles.

When it is time to accept a contract in Brigador, which is a series of multiple consecutive missions to be completed in immediate succession, the player is presented with a vehicle customization screen. We should probably blow up this house… for the mission. Multiple missions must be completed in a single run in order to fully complete the contract and achieve victory. Standing in your way is a relentless difficulty that punishes a lack of planning as well as a “one death and start over” policy. Every mission gives you several options in order to achieve victory: multiple objectives are available, and only one needs to be completed in order to “win” each level.

The view and controls bring to mind the classic Jungle Strike and Desert Strike from the 16-bit era.
