“Despite being played on small, grid-based maps, the game makes you feel part of something much bigger than it first appears. There are no flashy effects or visuals, but it leaves a lot to your imagination, letting you…”
“Truly one of the best games to boot up and play at any time since you can save/resume whenever you want. Tons of variety with missions, maps, mechanics, mechs, and monsters so I never found myself getting bored. This is…”

“It's an interesting game which didn't originally click with me. Essentially it's turn based puzzle game where you can see what your enemies are going to do and it's up to you to work around those issues and achieve…”

“Very neat 2D, turn-based puzzle game with a tempered, personal art style! Current/former chess players will probably enjoy this one. Recommended.”
“A quaint quick strategy game with some replayability. A nice strategy game to play on occasion. Light on the story but has a good aesthetic none the less.”

“admittingly I'm not a big fan of turn based games( I don't find them engaging mentally) . I love replaying the first 20 minutes of the game over and over again. the unlock system is kinda bad with having to complete…”
“Respectable offering at a fair price [$6 on SALE]. I don't exactly enjoy the progression, the fact that everything scales (so you never really feel powerful) and you lose everything at the end of the run- that isn't…”
“1 hour of play repeated for another 4 hours. No progress to keep interest.”

“Very sad to see the people behind FTL make something this unfun to play.”
“I initially liked the game, it seemed to be quite diverse with different pilots different mech group options different enemies encountered, but it quickly became a puzzle with just different makeup but the same base.…”

“It's pretty much like chess if chess was a completely different game than it is”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“Into the Breach is one of those games that immediately feels carefully designed. Everything about it, from the tight mechanics to the clean presentation, gives the sense that very little is wasted. It is a polished and consistently engaging roguelike that offers a surprising…”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“This is the best tactical/puzzle game that I've ever played on a computer. Here's why: If you put the effort in, you will learn how to play better with each attempt. Ultimately, this is a puzzle game, but the positions of your enemies, their abilities, your abilities, and your…”
