Into the Breach from the FTL devs

[drnickriviera]

Anyone playing? Not quite as random as FTL. Really have to plan out your moves. Just as in FTL, easy mode isn't easy. Still getting my butt kicked, but so far i haven't felt like cheating to beat the game as I did in FTL.

I'm playing. About to finish my first run though. I don't know that it has the depth that FTL did, but I honestly can't say that for sure as I'm only a couple hours in. Enjoying it so far though.

I loved FTL in spurts. I'd have a few amazing matches on Normal and then a few hours where I couldn't even make it through the third sector. Then I'd make it to the end ship where I'd have no offense but amazing defense and we would be locked in a stalemate. After reading some reviews about the game, I doubt I'll be picking it up unless it goes on sale for dirt cheap. I think I grabbed FTL for under $5.

grabbed this plus FTL for $12? as a noob to both, i both really enjoy and really hate the mechanics. normal is hard! but it also means every decision counts.

briefly checked it out the other day and it seemed to be getting rave reviews, just not my type of game.

never tried FTL either but I've heard great things.

I like FTL, and definitely interested in this.

I read about it on rockpapershotgun and it didn't sound like they liked it. If the death is anything like FTL I'll stay very, very far away!

Anyway, the layout and the robots look really familiar. Was there another game similar to this before?

I have FTL on iOS. I might buy this on steam.

It's pretty good on an iPad.

I loved FTL, will grab this when it goes on sale for sure.

This game would probably be a DoA if it wasn't made by the FTL Devs.

It's alright, it's a fun twist on things and is a fairly cool puzzle/board game but it gets old very quick, can be beaten very quickly and the RPG elements are fairly poor/tacked on as a last minute idea.

I'm hoping they keep working on it like they did with ftl. I think the heroes could use more skills and levels. So far the only reason to replay is trying out different squad combos, but I think the mechs could use a bigger variety of weapons, or allow you to select different ones at start.
