I had forgotten how absolute fun this game is in all its simplicity. I hadn't had the chance to try all the DLC content since they added it and it feels like a whole new game.

It took me about 11 hours until I finally beat the campaign on normal mode. I was pretty miffed that only your pilot carries over between games, but I still managed to win so I guess it's not that bad.

The gameplay is super satisfying and forces you to make all sorts of intricate decisions. You really have to play around with movement and trying to push units from one space to another.

Finished the game. Already know all squads except the Secret Squad. Not going to try to 100% this game.

Sadly, I lost this 100% due to the update ...

... but tbh, I'm not even mad. I'm actually looking forward to getting all the Unfair medals. Just not now. Maybe in five or ten years.

This game is incredible and I think the update will make it a proper 5/5.

Plataforma: Switch y iOS, perfecto en ambas, casi en iOS mejor...

Tipo: estrategia por turno táctica rogue like, más aprecido al ajedrez que al xcom!

Partidas: 20-40min aunque se pueden interrumpir

Lo mejor: No hay porcentajes de éxito, sabes perfectamente que va a ocurrir

Gráficos y ambiente: Perfecto

Historia: No hace falta

Nota: 9.8

Free update comes out for this today, with 15 new mechs, new pilots and weapons, and some other stuff. I felt the original was solid but a little thin on depth and variety, so maybe this'll help round out the experience.

Beat this game last night. Game is tons of fun. Now I gotta decide if I want to keep playing to mess around with the extra stuff or just move on to the next game.....

The brains behind the addictive game FTL has delivered another reinvention to the tactical strategy genre. I command a squad of battle mechs sent back in time to save a group of civilized islands from alien bug race called Vek. Into The Breach puts more emphasis on the tactical side of battles, while keeping them bite-sized for quick sessions during the campaign. The RPG elements add to the squad customization along with additional utilities that decide the outcome of the missions, with the power core functions allowing me to adapt and re-adapt the assets for each squad member. The varieties of the squad and utility setup makes for the replay value, though I won't see myself coming back after the first playthrough because I feel satisfied with just that. Worth to try out and see how you roll with this niched, tactical game.

Got all the achievements. Fantastic game. It's wonderful mix of puzzle and strategy.

After two years I finally accomplished this screen! I‘m so proud right now and hope they‘ll bring FTL to the Switch as well.

So many lectures I missed for this, so many times I was late to work because I thought "only one more mission. I‘ll be fine. It’ll only take a couple of minutes." Absorbing game design.

I named my profile 'Sentai', though, instead of my actual name. Hopefully, it won’t bug me as much as soon as I start a Chroma run with the same alias.

Decided to give this one a try just out of curiosity. Seems really well made as I'd expect from the makers of FTL. Game is easy to get into, has depth, good soundtrack, etc.

But, I'm not sure the turn based strategy gameplay really clicks with me. It feels puzzley, in a way, and I do like my puzzles. But it feels like "puzzles with stress", which kinda defeats the point of why I like to play puzzle games, lol.

Not really sure whether to put more time into this or just put it aside.
