Tutorial issues

I don't wish for this review to affect the overall score as I may be being an idiot so I have given 5 stars. During the tutorial I accidentally clicked on and removed a tip without reading it. I left the battle so that I could restart the tutorial, yet when I started a new game there was no option to go through the tutorial again nor in the options. Because of this I have lost a subsequent game because I wanted to move a unit in a certain way but didn't know how costing the game. I also feel like I've missed out on the introduction (if there is one) to the world and the 2 other pilots, this may not be an issues for others but I like to do things in a particular order. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game removing save files but the game remembered my profile, statistics and that I had previously accessed the tutorial. This is my first review so if I should post this elsewhere please let me know.

Better than FTL (in my opinion)

There, I said it. Especially since so many people compare it to FTL and it certainly has its similarities, I feel like I should write about why I feel that this game is much more enjoyable. It can be summed up in: The player is in control. (Basically) no RNG stuff that can make or break a run. Yes - the levels, missions, selection of enemies and whatnot is randomized every time but you get information about the level you are about to play and once you've chosen one, you're in control of EVERY little thing. Aside from the NPC actions of course. So when things go wrong, you know it wasn't chance but your dumb decision(s). Maybe not that particular turn but 3 turns before and you will maybe think "Damn, I shouldn't have spread out my units so much". And you learn... Sure, there were also learning processes in FTL but still... the randomized aspect was pretty large and so after playing through it a few times, I didn't even really want to finish it with different ships. But with Into The Breach, I keep finding it really exciting to try out different squads, figuring out how to best play with them and figuring out whether there is one particular squad that dominates more than others. I actually WANT to finish the game with all squads on Hard (eventually). I've played this for 26 hours by now - so I've already easily gotten my money's worth, yet it feels like I've basically only just started (finished with only 3 out of 10 squads).

Truly excellent!

I love this game! (Just like I loved their previous game, FTL.) Graphics is minimalist. Game is simple, only a few screens, that's all. And it's great! The idea behind it is one of the best ever! This is one of the very few strategy games where you really really have to plan your attacks - every single move, every single action. Be warned: it's not easy. Play in Easy mode for start. Then, once you got the feel of it, try it in Normal mode for a real challenge. Good luck! (You'll need it :-))

Interesting puzzle

In the turn-based combat, the player moves after the opponents plan their attack, but before they actually execute it - it's a brilliant idea which turns almost every turn into a small puzzle by itself - which opponent to push, which to destroy, how to make one opponent shoot another one instead of their desired target. The arsenal of player's weapons is big, different squads have unique characteristics, and different ways of cooperation. Still, there is something more that I expected, and that I didn't find here. A single game is somewhat short (its length actually depends on whether the player wants to complete 2, 3 or 4 islands before attempting the final battle), and somehow, despite the variety I described above, there is something very repeatable in it. For example the structure of the final battle is every time the same. After playing the game once, the levels are not interesting, only the actual situations that occur on the board are (but on the other hand, it's even more true in the game of go or chess). There is the mechs and pilots development mechanics, but somehow it feel a bit weak, maybe it's just because the game is short. And I'm definitely missing the realtime part of FTL. To sum up, definitely worth trying, but don't expect it will give you many, many hours and hours of entertainment. Although it might, it depends on what you like.
