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!
I never got to like FTL much, though it was definitely a great game. I gave this game a try and it become my favorite turn based strategy game of 2018 and probably of all the last 5 years. Simple graphics but amazing gameplay. Oh, and the music is just so gooood, I love this game.
In my opinion, ITB improves on FTL in every single aspect.
They reduced the impact of the RNG, which in itself deserves immense praise. You may play with a plethora of robots, each team needing a different strategy. Five environments (islands) each one needing a different approach. Glorious pixel art. Rogue-like is mitigated by the possibility to use your last upgraded commander (I hate rogue-like a little less than RNG). The atmosphere is well rendered - believable story, excellent sound and music score, clear and useful UI, easily identifiable characters, coherent background descriptions. The map random generator creates nice playfields.
Difficulty has also been extremely well balanced.
All in all one of the best games I've ever played.
This game is deceptively simple and surprisingly compelling. It is probably the most refined and polished game I've ever played, with not a single aspect that doesn't contribute to the experience. From the bite-sized combat that respects your time, to the puzzle-like challenge that respects your intellect, this game gets more and more fun as you engage with the mechanics. The sprinkling of story and characters feels sparse, but very memorable. The sheer focus and originality of this game is something to be lauded. It successfully delivers a fun turn based experience even when you know what the enemy is going to do.
I've read some reviews of this game and got interested since I don't own any high end PC or Laptop, so I decided to give this game a try. My first thought before playing was, that it would be nice to have a game that I could play turn by turn while writing a thesis or so. And than I started it, and it sucked me right in. This game is so beautifully designed and so fantastically playable. So easy to learn yet so hard to master.
Last thing I know is, that when I start this gem, time flies. "Just one more round...", I said to myself and after I played five more minutes, two hours passed by.
Get this Game, it is almost violently delightful !!
The most essential fact you need to assimilate before playing Into The Breach is this: You will lose. Your enemy is brutal, and you're facing overwhelming odds. Even the most perfect game at the beginning can turn into a living nightmare a few islands ahead. And of course, that works in the other direction as well. Snatching an unlikely victory after looking at the battlefield for 10 minutes trying to find the most optimal pattern of attack/defense/evasion feels fantastic, and it is well worth the tort--, I mean, effort.
If you've played FTL before, then you already understand. If you haven't, well... my friend, you have one hell of a ride ahead of you. Easily the best 9 bucks (at the time of writing this) you can spend right now.
