About Into the Breach

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.

Watched its ELO climb steadily over the months since I first checked its rank... still feels earned every time.

    Face à Hades qui pousse toujours en avant, celui-là t'oblige à ralentir, et l'hiver s'y prête bien.

    Chez nous c'est plutôt l'été, le dimanche après-midi avec mon fils qui apprend encore à lire le plateau avant de bouger.

    Un hiver entier ne prouve rien sur la profondeur réelle, moi j'ai tenu deux mois avant de sentir tourner en rond les mêmes situations.

    The puzzle angle gets praised a lot, but once you've solved the core loop there isn't much pushing you to keep going.

    Et pourtant j'y retourne, encore hier soir, parce que perdre une escouade entière me pousse direct à relancer une île pour comprendre où j'ai foiré mon placement.

    Vous perdez vraiment une escouade entière sans relancer aussitôt une partie pour comprendre votre erreur ? Moi impossible de m'arrêter là.

    Overrated puzzle box dressed up as strategy.

    The scale of each encounter stays small on purpose, and that restraint is what makes the tactical reads matter so much. After a few dozen runs though the enemy patterns start repeating in ways that dull the tension a little.

    Oh sure, another mecha game climbing the ranks because everyone suddenly discovered turn-based tactics last year...
