Into the Breach won’t match the mildew of your typical tactical shooter—it’s a lo-fi grid-based recreation wherein you see the entire battlefield from chook’s eye view, extra Fire Emblem than XCOM—nevertheless it unequivocally deserves a spot in your backlog. Every stage is sort of a puzzle, in that there’s seemingly at all times a “right” answer, when you can spot it. You pilot a trio of time-traveling mechs on a mission to avoid wasting the planet from an onslaught of building-sized bugs. As you play, you unlock extra mechs, plus choices to combine and match them throughout groups, tweaking your method. It is a relentlessly compelling tactical shooter, the kind of recreation you possibly can play in bite-sized periods or day-long marathons.
