The Steam reviews seem to be singing it's praises and my hope is that Into the Breach becomes just as important to my Indie library as FTL. You can get Into the Breach on Steam or GOG but right now on GOG if you purchase Into the Breach you get FTL Advanced Edition for free!<br><br>Ben Prunty wrote the music for FTL and also Into The Breach and you can listen or buy the soundtrack right now on Bandcamp.<br><br><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://benprunty.bandcamp.com/album/into-the-breach-soundtrack">https://benprunty.bandcamp.com/album/into-the-breach-soundtrack</a><br><br><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/590380/Into_the_Breach/">http://store.steampowered.com/app/590380/Into_the_Breach/</a><br><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.gog.com/game/into_the_breach">https://www.gog.com/game/into_the_breach</a>2018-02-28T03:55:28Zjdodsontag:cheerfulghost.com,2005:Post/36282018-02-08T05:28:34Z2018-02-08T05:31:03Z/jdodson/posts/3628/into-the-breach-is-coming-to-pc-feb-27thInto The Breach Is Coming To PC Feb 27th!<div class='youtube-player' data-id='vctByAfrDp0'></div> <br/>Into the Breach is the upcoming turn based strategy mech vs monsters game from Subset Games the creators of the Indie mega hit Faster Than Light. They dropped the new recently that the games is coming to Windows on Steam, GOG and Windows store on February 27th! I imagine the game will get a Mac and Linux port at some point but it looks like the first release of the game will be Windows only. If you want to know more about the game you absolutely must watch the video above of the developer Justin Ma giving a talk about the game and how they approached it's design. It's a really great behind the scenes talk on how they created the game and their focus on using simple design mechanics seem to have made a very approachable game that is easy enough to understand but can create some very challenging scenarios.<br><br>Does Into The Breach look like something you are getting at launch?<br><br><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://mobile.twitter.com/ChrisAvellone/status/961039565774512128">https://mobile.twitter.com/ChrisAvellone/status/961039565774512128</a>2018-02-08T05:31:03Zjdodsontag:cheerfulghost.com,2005:Post/35592017-11-29T02:49:02Z2017-11-29T02:51:03Z/jdodson/posts/3559/into-the-breach-gameplay-music-show-off-a-very-refined-turn-based-strategy-gameInto The Breach Gameplay & Music Show Off A Very Refined Turn Based Strategy Game<div class='youtube-player' data-id='5XHEyH6diV8'></div> <br/>Into the Breach is the upcoming turn based Robots vs Monsters strategy game by the creators of FTL. Recently PC Gamer has been playing an updated build and shared the gameplay video above. I can't make out much from the game itself except the person playing it was experimenting with it in ways that weren't entirely easy to understand. One thing I did take away from the game is that it looks pretty far along in development and it seems like every choice you make impacts how the battles will turn out. Into the Breach also seems like it's designed for mobile devices in mind as well as PC so it seems we might be able to play it on whichever platform you want. Eventually.<br><br>The game also looks very much like it's the next game from the creators of FTL. I like how the interface, graphics and music(same composer as FTL Ben Prunty) all harken back to the tone of FTL.<br><br>There is no release date for Into the Breach but when it gets one i'll write more about it. That said from the gameplay footage my guess is it will launch sometime in 2018 but don't mark it on your calendar just yet.2017-11-29T02:51:03Zjdodsontag:cheerfulghost.com,2005:Post/32552017-02-11T21:25:38Z2017-02-11T21:25:56Z/jdodson/posts/3255/into-the-breach-is-the-new-game-from-the-creators-of-ftlInto The Breach Is The New Game From The Creators of FTL<iframe src='https://player.vimeo.com/video/203014674' width='100%' height='600px' frameborder='0'></iframe> <br/>FTL is one of those special Indie games that's a game I keep playing years after it's launch. It's the right blend of immersive gameplay and rogue like mechanics that can make for some really crazy games. Whereas i've only ever beat the game once I can still nearly always get to the final boss fight to get shutdown during on of it's insane forms. Needless to say FTL is incredible and i'm a fan of the creators, Subset Games. Last week news dropped that Subset Games is working on their follow up to FTL called "Into the Breach." Into the Breach is a Kaiju based Pacific Rim like strategy game where you control mechs to protect cities threatened by monsters.<br><br>"<strong>The remnants of human civilization are threatened by gigantic creatures breeding beneath the earth. You must control powerful mechs from the future to hold off this alien threat. Each attempt to save the world presents a new randomly generated challenge in this turn-based strategy game.<br><br>Into the Breach is a single-player game coming to Windows, Mac, and Linux (although not simultaneously). There is no planned release date. Ben Prunty, FTL’s composer, is making an original soundtrack for the game, and award-winning sound designers PowerUp Audio are heading up the rest of the audio. Chris Avellone is lending his writing talents and world building skills to the team as well.</strong>"<br><br>Subset Games plus the music of Ben Prunty sounds like all the parts to make something really special and Into The Breach is something I can't wait to play.2017-02-11T21:25:56Zjdodson
