Brutal Orchestra

After being killed, the protagonist awakens in Purgatory and makes a deal with Bosch to pursue revenge. The journey leads through strange regions populated by bizarre allies and enemies. Combat is turn-based and tactical: position party members on a small battlefield, respond to enemy abilities, and choose the order of attacks. Hitting enemies generates pigment matching their health-bar color; characters spend pigment to use their skills. Across roguelike runs, recruit companions called fools and collect artifacts that affect how battles play out. Discover new characters, items, enemies, and story details as you explore Purgatory.

After dying in Purgatory, recruit strange companions and use pigment-powered tactics in turn-based runs to pursue revenge.

From the Devs

Hieronymus Bosch's Brutal Orchestra is a Turn-Based Roguelike Strategy Game with resource management and deck-building elements. Employ the help of damaged and daring fools, equip ancient and insidious items and make deals with the devil on your path to revenge.

Revenge:
You died. Someone killed you. You are now in Purgatory and you will never escape. Make a deal with the "demon" Bosch and set off into this brutal and bastardous world, finding all manner of demented and degenerate friends and foes on your quest to get petty revenge.

Pigment:
Purgatory bleeds pigment. It is a strange substance that Bosch has granted you the ability to control. Channeling pigment allows one to perform powerful and absurd abilities. Pigment comes in many colours, each derived from a different source, some even of your own flesh.

Fools:
This may be a place of the dead but even here there are still poor fools eking out a pathetic existence. Some would make for valuable party members or at least entertaining conversation. Most, however, are dim wits or damaged beyond all reason.

Treasure!:
Find over 100+ powerful artifacts that dramatically shape how you play Brutal Orchestra, often plucked directly from the artworks of Hieronymus Bosch.

Hell:
Purgatory is not a gentle place, it is a writhing dump of all that has died in many worlds. Endless deserts of pale sand are stalked by parasitic fish. Storm-cloaked mountain tops hide ungodly things above and below. The Garden waits for you at the end of time.

Hieronymus Bosch's Brutal Orchestra was developed by Talia bob Mair and Nicolás Delgado. With Sound Design by Pato Flores and Chris Dang and Composed by Publio Delgado.
