Into The Breach Reviews
I enjoyed my time with Into the Breach, and it's a great game to pick up and play for a few minutes at a time. I hope that it finds its way to mobile devices or the Nintendo Switch because it would be perfect for playing on the go.
Into the Breach is another title that confirms Subset Games ability to innovate turn-based strategy with creativity and a simple approach. Playing chess with altering time robots has never been so utterly delightful!

Into The Breach is a tour-de-force of tight design, an excellent execution of an idea, and a wonderful take on turn-based strategic combat. I have pretty much nothing bad to say about it. My only wish right now is that there was more of it, that its permutations would stretch on forever, that there’d be islands that I’d ever be able to conquer, more different Vek than I’d ever be able to fight, and more different bonus objectives than I’d ever see. But I understand, design-wise, why this could never be the case. I think Subset have achieved something pretty special here; I look forward to coming back to it in all my future timelines.
The pixel art style and isometric strategy battles remind me of all the good parts of games like Final Fantasy Tactics. Subset Games have a lot of experience in developing rich roguelikes, with previous title FTL standing out, and they’ve used that experience to blend with this strategy game to make a title that is definitely worth a look.
Into The Breach is a brilliant title, a fun, long-lived and easy-to-depend turn-based strategy. After completing the main campaign several times - at different difficulty levels and with the most disparate teams - we still feel the need to return to collect insectoids, to unlock all the achievements and discover the secrets of a game that certainly has a lot to show even after the end credits.

Into the Breach is one of those gems that will be talked about for the rest of 2018; a game that will come up in game of the year discussions and beyond, because it's just that good.
After the seminal FTL: Faster Than Light, Subset Games eludes the so-called "sophomore slump" by contributing yet another extraordinary touchstone in the gaming industry, Into the Breach.
Into the Breach is a simple yet engaging strategy title that pushes you to carefully consider every move, and makes victory seem that much more rewarding as a result. It’s quite an addictive title, and expect to spend quite a bit of time mastering it and feeling like you might be able to eke out a victory in the great war between man and insect.
Into the Breach is a prime example that shows no matter the budget, not matter the technology, no matter the graphics, you can always make a great game if you have that wonderful idea. Focusing solely on gameplay at the expense of everything else, Into the Breach is just one of the most entertaining games you've ever experienced.

I gave Into the Breach about ten hours of my time, and while I don't feel like that time was wasted, I also have no desire to go back and play it again. After one or two playthroughs, you'll have seen just about everything the game has to offer.
Into the Breach presses all the right buttons to keep tactical strategy fans hooked, and many will come back over and over again despite any shortcomings they may perceive. I, for one, plan to waste away many more afternoons saving the world from an infestation of bugs. Then, once I finish spraying my house and yard, I plan to play some more Into the Breach.
Into The Breach is one of the finest tactical games of these last years which even taunts other great games of the genre. Fun and repeatable gameplay gets you hours of entertainment and if you're not familiar with the genre, Into The Breach is the perfect choice to begin with.

Little big turn-based strategy with simple graphics does not disappoint you. It is unique, just a bit eventless after several attempts.

Strong art and music combine with excellent mechanics and an emphasis on strategy and players choice to create one of the best strategy games in years.
I am a huge fan of FTL, its premise, game play, style and utter nonsense randomized paths and subset games have only gone a dropped another gaming bomb on me. Into The Breach has been an incredible game to play.
A Worthy “sequel” to FTL, and a really interesting and fun strategic game. It feels like Advance Wars in many ways and is remarkably playable and enjoyable.
Subset Games' FTL follow-up is a pristine and pragmatic tactical gem with dynamic conflicts that will inspire you to jump Into the Breach again, and again, and again.
