Into the Breach is the newest game from the developers behind Faster Than Light. This game is all about strategy – if you want to stay alive, you have to be smart. This is one of the few strategy games that involves no level of chance whatsoever, and the player is completely in charge of their own fate. Everything will be mapped out for you, so it is a case of finding solutions that will allow you to complete the game without running into difficulties. It is highly analytical and on a tiny scale, using maps that are only 8 tiles wide.
What is the story behind the game? It is futuristic, set in a time when mankind is dying out. Aliens known as the Vek are taking over, and it is the player’s job to protect humanity and defend civilisation. It was released at the end of February for Macintosh operating systems, Microsoft Windows and Linux.
