The next game from the Battle Brothers devs is a sci-fi tactical RPG that 'takes everything beloved' about their last game and 'improves it tenfold'
Menace says it will "shake up the current norms of turn-based tactics games."

Overhype, the studio behind the really rather good Battle Brothers, is beating its swords into plasma rifles for its next game. Called Menace, it's another turn-based "brutal tactical RPG" in the vein of its predecessor, but it's trading in grim low-fantasy for a "grounded sci-fi strategy experience". I think grounded might just be another way of saying grim, judging by the number of people howling and turning into clouds of vapour in the trailer.
"Menace takes everything beloved about Battle Brothers—the evolving characters, the challenge, the army management, the dynamic sandbox gameplay," reads the game's announcement blurb, "and improves it tenfold." As you head up strike forces composed of infantry, tanks, and mechs, Menace boasts it will "shake up the current norms of turn-based tactics games."
