PC Critic Reviews

We dare say that Subset has outdone itself, surpassing FTL with a game that is even more focused, interesting, and repeatable.

With Into the Breach Subset Games rewrites the tactical gameplay rulebook by removing most of its pages. In doing so, it has created a superlative strategy game.

Perhaps the biggest surprise, at least for anyone who played its brilliant but cruel predecessor FTL: Faster Than Light, is how overwhelmingly fair Into the Breach is. There are no random events that unexpectedly handicap you. Instead, every situation is winnable from the outset (though poor first-turn decisions will change that), and you are shown the consequences of any action before you commit to it.

Subset games has achieved a mastery of the microdrama, and as such, Into The Breach is about as essential as indie games get.

More puzzle than strategy, Into the Breach comes with enough bells, whistles and giant robots to keep the formula fresh over repeat plays.

Turn-based strategy game with exceptionally original game mechanics, well-designed maps, and great core gameplay that guarantees a long entertainment. [Issue#284]

Into the Breach is a marvel of "board-game" design, its components organically tied together to form a game with immense tactical depth. Everything seems to have fallen into place. One could claim that Into the Breach is a complex, evolved form of chess. We would not have it any other way.

Incredibly complex, deep and challenging, Into the Breach is a title that begs to be played and experienced by any individual even slightly into turn-based strategy. An instant classic that won't be easily forgotten.

Into The Breach blends turn-based strategy and puzzles games on such a tiny, yet perfect scale that it has raised the bar for both genres at the same time.

One of the best strategy games on the market, bringing a unique sense of fun to the genre. A must-play title.
