Games like XCOM and Into the Breach offer plenty of emergent narrative moments, with clutch plays and the chance to claim victory against impossible odds. However, the deliberate narrative beats in Tactical Breach Wizards, bound together with its outstanding sense of humor and punctuated by its satisfying gameplay, make it a spellbinding experience for any fan of the genre.

Layered challenges, unhinged abilities, and generous tools to support wild experimentation combine with brilliant, laugh-out-loud funny writing. A tactics game that's as welcoming to newcomers as it is rewarding for genre aficionados. What an absolute treat.

Tactical Breach Wizards is one of the cleverest and most enjoyable tactics games I've played in a long old time. A handful of useful features remove some of the genre's most frustrating pain points, and the forgiving structure lets you experiment with all manner of off-the-wall solutions, even if there really is just one ideal path forward. It's a blueprint for how tactics games should be designed, and I can't wait to dive back into it again.

Luckily, though, you’ll spend much of Tactical Breach Wizards in the heat of battle, and that’s where it functions best. Few of the scenarios are difficult, and intentionally so; the game is less about raw challenge than having you experiment in pursuit of efficiency and style. Many of the optional, more difficult objectives encourage you to squeeze 15 actions into a single turn or complete a map without letting the enemy ever fire a shot, which means constantly refreshing your actions and movements several times per turn. Even when the characters are patiently waiting their turn, there’s always a remarkable sense of speed to Tactical Breach Wizards.

While I wish it was a tad more punishing, I still had a blast orchestrating complicated turns that involved teleporting allies across the map, utilizing diverse powers, and, of course, knocking hapless cronies out windows. But, perhaps its greatest accomplishment is how it escapes the inertia of countless other modern war games that feel like the product of the military-industrial complex. I guess all it took to avoid these tropes was not being in the back pocket of the US armed forces, a bit of empathy, and a guy who looks like Gandalf with a magic-infused M16. Who knew?.

Tactical Breach Wizards shines with its charming, laid-back approach to the tactical genre. While not the most demanding game in terms of challenge, it leaves plenty of room for players to shape their experience as they wish. The dynamic progression system and skill flexibility encourage creativity, while allowing each player to develop unique strategies in the face of enemies.This title, while approachable and accessible, especially for those short on time, also has a promising future thanks to the integration of user-generated content. Tactical RPG fans will find here a refreshingly modern experience, rooted in a wacky and irresistible sense of humor, but above all imbued with a rare sincerity.

Tactical Breach Wizards surprised me very positively and I feel very confident in recommending it to anyone who enjoys turn-based strategy games that think outside the box. If you are also curious about what it would be like to control super soldiers capable of using magical powers (or dangerously armed wizards, which is the same thing), do yourself a favor and get this work by Suspicious Development. Although I don't have the same clairvoyance as a certain protagonist, I can bet that you won't regret it.

Tactical Breach Wizards was exactly the strategy game we needed in this gaming economy. It engages my brain with the whole puzzle of each stage. Whilst the humour within the cutscenes and dialog options have me immersed. I honestly wish and hope for DLC to continue more of the story or something to keep me going. For now I will have to make do with the make my own stages mode. I believe anyone reading this review should pick up this game and love it as much as I did.

Tactical Breach Wizards is a fantastic game that is less “must own” and more “why haven’t you bought this yet?” kind of turn-based tactics games. Those looking for something a little different will have that here, in spades. With its unique blend of strategy, humor, and character, it’s a game that is both challenging and incredibly rewarding. Tactical Breach Wizards is accessible, brilliant, and most of all: Game of the Year contender.
