Great follow up to FTL

I bought this game on Nintendo Switch, not here, so take it with a grain of salt I found this game when looking for a Switch version of FTL (which doesn't exist). FTL is one of my favorite PC games. I would double-dip and buy this game again for PC if there was a linux version. Pros: * Tight gameplay loop, great for short sessions * You can have one of your pilots persist from game to game, which causes you to become invested in them -- When a crew member dies in FTL, it doesn't hit me as hard as when a pilot dies in Into The Breach * It's a great game for people who like strategy games (Think Advance Wars) but aren't very good at them. It's an accessible version of a turn-based grid strategy wargame. Cons: * It's a little bit too simple, it doesn't have as much replayability as some strategy games; I hope it keeps my attention My only wish is for a Linux version to show up on GOG!

Fun, FAR more forgiving than FTL.

I can actually save the world in this game! I have NEVER beat FTL (legitimately), even on easy. This game still has it's unfair moments, but most of them are avoidable with a little planning as you learn how to play the game. I haven't quite got the hang of a few of the mechs yet, but this game is probably a good introduction into Rouge-likes if you've never played them. You can customize just about everything from the name of your pilot (including which pilot you choose - each have different abilities), to color of your mech, and as you complete missions successfully and get reactor cores: you can customize your mechs' loadouts and abilities to move and cause/take damage. The best way I can describe this game is, take the plot of Pacific Rim (Alien Kaiju trying to destroy the world and you fight them with your own giant mechs), make it play like the Gameboy Advance game Advance Wars, but you get Doctor Strange's ability to play out 14,000,605 timelines, starting over until you get a successful one.

Good game but feels lacking

Don't get me wrong, it's a good game, and has tons of replayability. Still, it feels a bit short. Maybe that's because after completing 2 islands you can attempt to beat the final island (and it isn't particulary difficult even though it escalates depending on how many islands you have completed on that run) In my case, after playing a lot of hours the first day, I beated the game completing 3 islands out of 4, and doing the final island. It didn't feel like a challenge, like the final boss on FTL (their other game) That game really gave me the feeling of winning against all odds. Despite of this, Into the Breach is a fun game, and better than some other tactical games, but not very deep

Excellent turn based strategy puzzler

Subset Games did it again. After addictive and highly replayable FTL, they came up with a turn based puzzle strategy that you gotta play one more turn. Into the Breach combat mechanic is unique in the sense that you know exactly know what enemy monsters will do each turn, and for how much damage. It's up to your squad of mechs to destroy, push out of harm's way, or even block their attacks from destroying key objectives and residential blocks. Given that most of the time you will be outnumbered, you have to be creative: e.g. you can push one monster in another's path, and let them kill each other. And often you will have to make a hard choice between sacrificing a residential block (something you can do a finite amount of times before losing the game) in order to accomplish a key objective or save a pilot (while mechs are repaired between battles, pilots die, along with their highly useful skill set and experience). Mechs themselves and their skills are customizable. Preset squads have complementing skills (e.g. Tachyon squad has two mechs that can line up monsters, while the 3rd one can shoot every monster in a straight line), but as you progress, you might find even more interesting weapons for awesome combos. If this game sounds like something you might like, don't hesitate: it is worth much more than what the price tag implies.

I really didn't have fun.

I think the concept of this game is VERY cool, and I think it has it's charm to it, but I feel like the game could have been better if these changes were made: 1. Very very large game board (huge play area) instead of the very small play area. The play area is too small. 2. The ability to use more than 3 mechs at the same time. The current year is 2020, and the game was made in 2018. Why limit me to 3 mechs? 3.The ability to simply not care about the buildings all over the map. Unfortunately this game is babysitting simulator because you lose a building, and then you lose people and your power grid goes down and the game decides you lose. 4. Better system of showing the player what will happen before they do it. The game has a very unusual and counterintuitive system of allowing you to undo turns or undo entire battles, but places some really annoying and frustrating limits on when the player can do this, or how many times they can do it. Honestly, I would have preferred to be able to undo any and all turns 100% of the time whenever I feel like it. 5. An easy mode that is actually easy. Currently easy mode is still EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. I play games for enjoyment, and I honestly can't believe that the game doesn't allow me to just enjoy. a fun challenge is one thing but punishing every single move I make to the point where I regret every single thing I do is just really not my idea of fun.
