Into the Breach |OT| FTL: Fighting Tactical Leviathans

[Castamere]

Can I name the pilots? You know, so I can form lasting bonds that rupture when perfectly laid plans fail and everything dies, just like real life.

Is it possible this might drop at midnight? (PST)

Day one! I'm half tempted to do a blind buy but I'll wait for the reviews at least to drop beforehand

There's already a review thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/into-the-breach-review-thread-creators-of-faster-than-light.25853/

Hint: It's an excellent game

 

[spineduke]

Thanks ! Now I can buy with a clear conscience :P

 

[Finalow]

been waiting to play this fucking game since the day it was announced, and I already knew it was gonna be great.

Avellone also worked on it, as he did for the FTL expansion.

Thinks devs said 0700 PST.

I expected positive reviews but, wow. No scores below 90, all the text reviews with a lot of praise.

 

[Mugen]

If I may recommend an Into the Breach LP, consider HMV:

He is my favourite FTL-streamer without a doubt. Can recommend if you want to become a better FTL-player as well.

Yes you can name the pilots, and also the mechs.

Same!
Also, ONE HOUR! (or perhaps two hours).

 

[Myradeer]

Two hours for me.

 

[Lumination]

GOG has added cloud save support! Cannot wait until launch.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

Damn, waiting for it to drop.

 

[Tarpii]

Just grabbed it off GOG, only 2 hours till I finish work!

 

[Ja-]

The game is out on steam

 

[haveheart]

I think I might leave work early today...

Cannot wait for your first impressions. Reviewers seem to be into it head over heels.

 

[Weltall Zero]

OK then.

 

[daiquiri]

If you buy the game on GOG you get a free copy of FTL Advanced Edition

 

[The Cellar Letters]

Dumb question. This has rogue like elements similar to FTL right?

Just came in to say this. Can't wait to start the game.

 

[Deleted member 7081]

GOG version has cloud saves (if you use Galaxy).

 

[Red Arremer]

Awesome. Sad I can't get it right now, will have to wait for the weekend.

Thanks for the info. Looks like it's time to finally time to install gog galaxy...

Less than £12 in the UK seems like a no brainier from the reviews to me.

 

[Alex Connolly]

So good! Tidy little pockets of running tactical combos. Really wonderful design.

 

[Tachya]

Not available for purchase on Humble yet. Waiting for that cause I have a bit of credit there, plus should get the discount for having monthly.

 

[Thatguy]

Any idea on game length?

Are you asking what a general completed run takes? I only ask because it's very much like FTL in that the idea is to play over and over.

Yeah like how many levels are there in a campaign and how much time does 1 map typically take?

There's 4 islands, but you only need to complete 2 to make the final stage available (the other 2 are optional). Every island has half a dozen maps and a final mission. You can't complete all of the missions in a given island, at some point you're forced to play the boss. Each map seems to take 10-30 minutes. So I'd say a short 2 island run would take about an hour.

There's several pilots, mech squads and achievements to unlock - doing the achievements actually gets you currency you can use to buy the squads.

Brilliant

 

[Deleted member 5864]

I'm assuming it is masterful, but I'd like some impressions on the OST please :)

I still carry around FTL's and is still my go to when relaxing or writing.

 

[Snakethesniper]

Still not available on humble right?

 

[The Cellar Letters]

Should be up on humble in like 2-3 hours.

 

[spiritfox]

Hnng that Ben Prunty soundtrack. I'm so ready for this.

 

[Ja-]

I feel dumb, but I got into a mission and there was a couple of tiles I could place my units on. But now theres only two tiles and I can't place my third unit to start the mission. Am I missing something?

 

[Kthulhu]

Really wish my laptop's battery wasn't crap. This seems like the perfect game to play in bed.

 

[Kuldar]

Oh cool, I bought it on GoG and I got FTL with it. I already have it on Steam but I'll not complain to have a great game twice.

 

[Deleted member 3897]

Is this coming to Switch? I hope Im not port begging, but need to know or I'll just buy it on Steam.

 

[Bob White]

Loving it already but need to head to work. FTL is love and life for me (250 or so hours), so I can't wait to dig into ITB. Anyways, good job, Subset crew!

From the dev's site:

When will the game be released?
Into the Breach will be released on February 27th and will cost $15 USD. It will be initially available on Windows through Steam, GOG and the Humble Store.

What platforms will it be on?
Into the Breach will be initially available on Windows. After release we intend to bring the game to Mac and Linux as well. As a small studio, we found managing that large of a release for FTL very difficult, so we're going to spread it out more this time. We will consider the possibility of bringing the game to Mobile devices and/or consoles in the future, but it is not a priority at this time.

Thx. Will buy it on Steam then.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

This game is really clean. I love it's shoebox design, really brings out drama and allows combos by seeing the whole picture at once.

 

[Deleted member 4367]

Is there controller support?

Beautiful. My first three runs actually weren't so bad though, feels a lot more approachable or "fair" than FTL so far. Also really nicely hits the sweet spot between being too different from FTL and being too similar to it -- there are elements that are pretty reminiscent of FTL (visuals, campaign structure, upgrade system) but at the same time it's a completely different and surprisingly unique game.
