Surely this is where it ends? One bug is attacking the train being defended. Another is about to destroy an apartment building. And for every building lost, a Power Gridpoint is lost. We’ve only one left and once it’s gone, the Vek win.
If you’ve played FTL, you’ll remember the clammy-palmed panic it’d conjure as you’d face another seemingly no-win situation. Into the Breach will bring that feeling right back, and it’s wonderful. It’s a turn-based tactics game in which your squad of three mechs is pitted against a swarm of ground-dwelling bugs, the Vek. Each level is played out across just five turns on an eight by eight grid, and your ultimate goal is survive, to build up the strength of your mechs and to make it to the final denouement, in which you finish off the Vek for good.
