## About Brutal Orchestra

Brutal Orchestra is a turn-based tactical roguelike from Talia Mair and Nicolas Delgado, published by Hellbent Games in 2021 for 19.99 USD. Players make a deal with a demon named Bosch and set off through Purgatory, recruiting demented allies on a quest for petty revenge. Its combat centers on a strategic pigment resource that forces constant recalibration, alongside party synergy, boss phasing, and modular items. Reviewers describe it as dark, hypnotic, and whimsical, and highlight the Bosch-inspired art, the music, and boss fights that play like deadly puzzles. The difficulty is hard but earned. It holds 97% positive of 1,588 Steam reviews and is rated Playable on Steam Deck.
