Another one I just remembered is Prince of Thorns, which begins with the main character in a band of brutish bandit thugs in a dark fantasy world about to go lopsided which can give the same ‘band of brothers’ feel to it.
On my third or so playthrough, with the both ending in massive failure in 10 or so days, I got to day 30 and only lost a single brother. It’s very easy.
I swear to God the enemy cheeses its rolls for ranged somehow.
Bandit poachers getting consistent head shots on my archers who are sitting behind my line is simply ridiculous. If not RNG fuckery then I imagine they have a ridiculous skillset (75+ ranged skill or some such). It becomes infuriating since there’s really nothing you can do early-mid game.
