I really wanted to enjoy this game, FTL was fun, challenging, and interesting. It had a real feeling of progress and challenges that scale. I really liked the gameplay. I liked the comparatively large variation of viable strategies and need for the player to adapt to situations. I enjoyed that when I lost I could say, "wow that was a fun run," or "wow, that was unfortunate." And I don't feel that Into the Breach has much of that.

I also really enjoy TBS games, and haven't played a new one in a while. After digging into it, I'm just not enthusiastic for this. Several of the gameplay elements don't play out as expected and aren't well described, resulting in lots of gotcha surprises that lead to frustration from a game that's supposed to be all laid out for you. And this happens on previously played worlds as well, things change without reason or warning, so if you aren't paying careful attention and don't know to expect this behavior, you are going to end up restarting again.

Almost every round is going to force you to accept some kind of sacrifice, and every battle is going to be "fight x number of turns and don't let anything get hurt," which is a very limited scope of strategy. Your priorities may change in need, but it's just a balance between protecting the land, keeping pilots alive, and bonus points which are of dubious value and may end up costing you your run because it's a new thing to unexpectedly screw up. Upgrades are sparse, underwhelming, and easily lost, and experienced players are saying they don't add much to strategy or satisfaction. I don't buy into the upgrade feature in a lot of games, but if you are going to have it, make it accessible and worthwhile.

I'm going to put this game down and will probably be more careful before considering the next title from Subset.
