Hype Check for Into The Breach, the new game by the creators of Faster Than Light, releasing 2/27
- Thread starter Portmanteau
- Start date
This is one of the few games I'm really looking forward to. I love FTL and I really love Ben Prunty's music - followed his work closely after FTL came out. So glad he's teaming up with Subset Games again. Here's the soundtrack on Bandcamp: https://benprunty.bandcamp.com/album/into-the-breach-soundtrack
The few tracks you can listen to are fantastic.
If you want to buy the game, here is where you can do it on Tuesday:

a new subset game? sounds exciting
FTL is one of the few strategy games in recent times where i didn't have to actively question how anyone thought it was ready for release.

Even retweeted by Subset Games:
Anyway, I believe the embargo will be lifted tomorrow.
PC Gamer's recent article works as a good overview and highlights what makes the game's strategy interesting

Too obvious.
Into the Breach |OT| FTL: Fighting Tactical Leviathans
Since there is a DRM free release I highly doubt it will require any online connection.

RPS has a really good article last year that did a detailed turn-by-turn breakdown of several battles. Showcases the kind of strategies and tactical choices you have to make

I think that works better without the FTL: but it's quite good. I'm having trouble brainstorming decent ones.
Well, I can only speak for myself, but unlike FTL there is no Mac version at launch, so no interest from me. But beyond that, I don't know how hard this game will be but I found FTL a bit too arbitrarily hard for my enjoyment of it and honestly wish it was a slightly less roguey game than it was. Also I don't find the retro sprites that appealing.
I did it that way to reference how their first game's title had the same format of showing and then also spelling out the acronym. But I guess you could go either way.
It's almost a certainty that Into the Breach is going to get a Mac port in the near future (among other platforms), but this would be the sort of game that would make me install Boot Camp if I didn't have it already. And if it makes you feel better, Into the Breach removes all the percentage dice rolls of FTL's combat and dialogues. I can't say whether certain equipment will feel like a must-have that you have to luck out to get, in the same way that teleporters did for the first game, but one of their stated design goals was to make you feel like every loss would be due to your mistakes rather than a bad roll.
Yeah, GOG version can occasionally be a little slow with the patches.
Worth it for complete and total freedom.
I like how Fighting Tactical Leviathans works both ways.
Those are both things I'm glad to hear, so I'll keep an eye out. Though I was told that about Divinity:OS2 and I'm still waiting on that port to be announced. :/ So I won't hold my breath. I assume FTL was built with Unity? Wonder why they went Windows-only this time.
I'm still workshopping my own title, what about:
Into the Breach |OT| FTL 2: Fighting Tactical Leviathans
Adding a 2 lets us keep it as a nod to Subset Games' first title format and lets people who aren't familiar with the game know what its lineage is.
I can't find the interview right now, but I remember Justin Ma saying it was coded in a proper language like C++, and the reason they're going one platform at a time is because with FTL, they found the support work of multiple OSes at launch too stressful for a 2-person studio.

I'd heard about this.. i'll be there day 1.
Does anyone know if it supports touch on devices like a surface?

I've played the early version and I... I had around 40 hours in alpha. This is already my favourite game of the year next to MHW. It's totally different from FTL, but at the same time it has the same level of replayability and addictive gameplay.
I expect lots of 9s and even 10/10s.

That FTL Jump sound incorporated with the Kestrel in the Subset Games-logo is heart-warming. :)
