Is it still worth playing?

Overhype Studios' 2017 tactical role playing game for Windows, on the Switch in 2021 and the PlayStations and Xboxes in 2022. You run a mercenary company in a fantasy world modelled on medieval Germany and take contracts, and the men you can afford at the start are drunks, criminals and people with crippled limbs. The fights are turn based and the deaths are for good, with a setting that stops you reloading your way out, and a man who lives can come out of a battle crippled in body or in mind and carry it on. The crippling still carries a company's last battle into the next one, and the men are not replaced for free.
