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

Love the well written story and characters of this game, especially when turned based is my jam.

Excellent tactical with a perfect humor touch ! A really pleasant experiment.

Tactical Breach Wizards is a fantastic turn-based tactics game, think fantasy Rainbow Six, only fun. I fell in love with the writing and characters from the first cutscene. It is smart and laugh-out-loud funny with some great banter and a fantastic world. Steve Clark, Traffic Warlock and Bori Kesh, the Less-Lethal Pyromancer, are two particular highlights for me. The gameplay is slick, fast and well thought out, the graphics are superb, and you even get to do a murder board with red string connecting things. What is not to like?

Little guys doing pewpew. And defenestrating people. I am giggling like a gremlin in a candystore. Jokes aside, the writing is so so good, and the gameplay is really fun! Please try it <3

Tactical Breach Wizards isn't quite as addictive as the very best turn based tactics games (Into the Breach is still number 1) but it's engrossing gameplay and humorous script still make for a cracking game.

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

Pros: similar to Into The Breach with fun abilities of the characters, loved the dialogues and the storyline

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.....

Great humor, short puzzles with self adjustable difficulty, and a surprisingly good story. Try the demo if you are on the fence

This is not an XCOM-style game. It says so in the Steam description. It is more of a puzzle game like Into the Breach. If you know what you are getting into, I think you will like it very much.

Great writing humour throughout, which was an aspect I wasn't expecting to enjoy so much. Just the right amount of challenge. I love the addition of the built in commentary in the special edition.

A puzzley turn-based combat game with an interesting story and some REALLY fun writing! This is literally one of my favorite games, with the freedom to undo as much as I want and try lots of different approaches, it just satisfies an itch I've had for ages!

A well crafted X-com lite. The writing is relatively well executed if a bit too heavy on zingers - it's too Joss Whedon-on-steroids for my liking. The tactical elements of the game are superb. You can instantly undo any of your moves which is a double edged sword. It lets you experiment more and removes almost all of the frustration from these types of games however it makes it trivially easy and means that there never feels like there's anything at stake. A very fun game nonetheless but falls short from being a masterpiece of the genre by being a bit too goofy and there being little in the way of RPG mechanics throughout the course of the game other than half a dozen upgrades per character for your main abilities.

Tactical Breach Wizards is a captivating tactics game that perfectly balances accessibility with depth, Almost every mission feels like it has at least has one of those rare XCOM moments, where a dozen things interact in *just* the right way to create cascade of If-This-Then-That consequences that allow you to pull off brilliant tactical plays that feel entirely organic. This is encouraged by the game’s rewind system that allows the player to freely experiment with new abilites and try wild strategies just to see if they *could* work. This is supported by a constant stream of new abilites and enemies that keep things fresh and interesting, all the way to the endgame. TBW also shines in its writing, with clever humor and deep character interactions, including optional anxiety dream missions that explore each character’s psyche(!!). It’s a delightful, brilliant tactics game that’s as much about self-expression as it is about strategy.

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.

A good mix of “X-Com Chimera Squad” and the brilliant “Into the breach”. The former borrows from the setting, the latter from the game: Predictability of the opponent's moves and wacky actions. Unused setting, good humor, tactical turn-based strategy on small levels where you can puzzle and avoid mistakes with a useful “rewind” function. Nice idea between missions: You create a map with links between events, people and places. Not relevant to the game, you can't do anything wrong, but I like it for further immersion in the story and as a gimmick. All in all an absolutely lovingly designed product, big praise to the developers!
