About Strange Brigade

Strange Brigade poster

Strange Brigade is a pulp-inspired action-adventure that whisks you to the far-flung corners of the British Empire, where deep shadows hide supernatural threats known to the servants of The Crown. Cast in the mold of a 1930s adventure serial, it sends you on an exotic safari into danger, uncovering forgotten civilizations, treacherous tombs and ancient evils that few dare to face and fewer survive.

You can play alone or with up to four adventurers, choosing from four dashing explorers who each bring their own powers, weapons and tactics to the hunt. Together you'll fight back-to-back against legions of mythological menaces unleashed by a nefarious Egyptian ruler, Seteki the Witch Queen, so despised she was erased from the hieroglyphs. The campaign leans into rip-roaring, pulse-pounding action alongside its treacherous traps and tales of derring-do.

Exploration rewards a sharp eye, with secret caves and buried riches tucked away for players willing to stray off the beaten track, all while dastardly traps lie in wait. Its theatrical, tongue-in-cheek presentation gives Strange Brigade a distinctive personality among action-adventure titles on PC, delivering cooperative thrills wrapped in vintage adventure-movie flair.
