What is a BRE file?

BRE files mostly belong to Battle Realms. The BRE file is used in two distinct ways. It may be a Battle Realms map file that the game Battle Realms uses to store map layout, terrain details, and environment settings.
It can also be a binary resource archive containing compressed data built on Bresenham's line algorithm. In this case, the file is managed with tools such as the BREW Resource Editor.
Helpful Details:

If your BRE file is a map file, it is intended for use within the Battle Realms game to generate game levels.
If it is the binary resource type, it bundles various resources in a compressed form.

FilExt.com note: These files are stored in binary format, so simple text editors will not reveal readable information.

How to open a BRE file
