Tactical Breach Wizards

Fun puzzle/tactic game with an engaging story. I wish there were more games like this

Cute, engaging, quirky mechanics keep it interesting - at least for a few hours.

Decent story. Decent gameplay. Would have been happier if it was a bit shorter. Date Completed: 2025-12-24 Playtime: 12h Enjoyment: 7/10 Recommendation: Yeah

Not a tactical game, it's a puzzle game. Minus 9 points for lying to players. Also, it's terrible. Crashes frequently, looks bad, and there's no challenge since you just rewind until you win. Pointless.

Ok, so it's not really like XCOM or a turn based strategy game at all. It's easy, even on Hard. You simply rewind and mess about and there are many ways to win. Enemies are very passive and most just stand around since the 'challenge' in this game is based on whatever goals you make for yourself; as in 'can I clear this room in 2 turns?'. You can literally just crouch in a room of multiple enemies and that will be enough to be safe from them. Only melee enemies actively hunt you down and there aren't many of them. The game is simply a sand box. I only had to restart a mission once I was almost half way through the game. A couple of missions later I stopped playing as without any challenge it's just a waste of time. The game even lets you skip levels if you choose. It's really made for the 'make me feel powerful while holding my hand and make allowances for me having an attention span of 8 seconds' crowd. The story, like the 'challenge', is also for a modern audience of, presumably, young people who still think Marvel and Whedon-esque humour is great. Everyone is childish, no matter their age or personality. Lastly, some rooms just feel bad because of the lack of enemy agency. In one instance, I had a big tanky enemy to kill that I was pretty much unable to damage so I hacked a turret. I waited for the enemy to come for me so I could use the turret but they just stopped moving and stayed on the other side of the map. If I approached they would throw an easily avoided grenade but apart from that it was basically some kind of bugged out stalemate. On another few occasions I was simply able to wait for many enemies to come out a door and then just shoot them one at a time until I got a victory screen. Yay.....
