The remnants of human civilization are threatened by gigantic creatures breeding beneath the earth. You must control powerful mechs from the future to hold off this alien threat. Each attempt to save the world presents a new randomly generated challenge in this turn-based strategy game from the makers of FTL.
Defend the Cities: Civilian buildings power your mechs. Defend them from the Vek and watch your fire!
Perfect Your Strategy: All enemy attacks are telegraphed in minimalistic, turn-based combat. Analyze your opponent's attack and come up with the perfect counter every turn.
Build the Ultimate Mech: Find powerful new weapons and unique pilots as you battle the Vek infestation across Corporate-Nation islands.
Another Chance: Failure is not an option. When you are defeated, send help back through time to save another timeline!
It reminds me a bit of a chess game in a way. You'll burn your brains thinking the next move, and you'll see this short battles make evolve your robots.
Bad guys are a bit plain in my opinion as they're mostly insects but the scenery and music are very cozy and enjoyable.
This is such a cleverly designed and balanced rogue-like! A turned-based strategy with a perfect foresight about the actions the enemy will take in the next turn, making each turn into a small resource optimization puzzle, especially on normal and hard difficulty. However, “Into the Breach” can still surprise you even after 50 hours of play, because it has amazing emergent complexity and just enough randomness and variety of squads, weapons, and strategies to keep you on the edge. It is easy to learn and difficult to master in the best way! [Context: I spent 100 hours with it and earned all the achievements.]
A simple game wit hidden depths, a solid upgrade structure and very pleasing if you are into old school pixel art.
It is in essence a simpler (and then again, not so simple) version of chess. You have 3 pieces to start with (artillary, a tank and a "boxer" mech) and have to defend a set number of territories and islands against attacking aliens.
There are many different ways to up the difficulty, and therefore enough challenge is present to gaurantee multiple replays - a time travel mechanic makes this make sense in-universe.
Not that time consuming, enough fun to warrant the investment, I can recommend "Into the breach" for any fan of games like Commandos, Civilization and Starcraft.
Low tech, high fun!
