Into the Breach

Into the Breach is a turn-based strategy game about mechs protecting cities from kaiju. The battlefield looks like a chessboard, and the squad is assembled from the variants of combat vehicles proposed at the beginning. Each enemy move is shown in advance, but even knowing his plan does not save you from failure. Kaiju hit buildings, not cars. New pilots gain experience and skills. Monsters are constantly trying to occupy one city or another, and mechs placed in advance recapture settlements and save townspeople. There are several dozen robots in the game, and each one undergoes its own upgrade. The opponents are also different: some poison you, others explode immediately after death, others hit you in a straight line. Units differ in the set of weapons and the number of fighters. The turn order shows who is attacking where. Humanity hides behind its machines, and this is where the main plot lies. Once upon a time, monsters captured small islands, but now they have moved to large cities. People took refuge in the last of them, came up with huge walls and built mechs controlled by humans. Mission failure is canceled by restarting the turn. Destroyed houses frighten residents. New weapons are given out as you progress through the story. The further the squad goes, the harder it is to knock out the next cannon from enemies or missions. Armor and weapons receive status from ordinary to elite and rare. Damage to buildings reduces the reward for the battle. Mechs move, push enemies and hit areas. For those who like tactical tasks over several moves, this game is suitable.
