Into the Breach
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- it scratches that Into The Breach itch of "alright how do I weasel out of this one?"
- It feels like there was absolutely zero respect given to the adage of "sometimes less is more" that FTL and Into the Breach are essentially built around.
- It is a 10/10 masterclass in efficiency. Battles take place on a tiny 8x8 grid where you have perfect information about enemy moves.
- In the intervening years I played Subset's later title Into the Breach, which I found to be strategically quite deep and rewarding, though it was punishingly difficult.
- These games are probably tied with Into the Breach as my favorite tactics experiences of all time.
Cons
- It’s short and sweet and feels like a mix between xcom and Into the breach.
- What's both great and a detriment is that the game absolutely rewards, taking risks and challenging yourself. However, this results in poor and lagging performance to be further punished.
- The closest game I've found to it is Into the Breach, and I am sad that here aren't any other turn based stealth games.
- It’s like asking for characterization or a hub area in Into the Breach or Advance War.

I absolutely love Into the Breach and wish it hadn't been needlessly shadowed by its predecessor. There's little need for comparison, as both games existing is a blessing, and this game scratches a strategy itch unlike many others.

Into the breach could be pretty good!
