Don’t get too attached to any of your pilots. “Strategic losses are inevitable,” say Subset. Perhaps the most intriguing part of the Advanced Edition update is the ‘ Unfair’ difficulty mode, which chucks the tricksy Alpha Vek monsters into the game much earlier and more frequently. Almost every part of Into The Breach will be getting a spruce up with fresh stuff to try.
Adam has a big burly ginger beard, while Kai’s flexing an awesome blue haircut. So far, I’ve spotted two new pilots: Adam and Kai. You’ll want them handy.Watch on YouTube Into The Breach: Advanced Edition is a hefty free update for the sci-fi strategy classic. Strap in your best true wireless earbuds when you play this, like the AirPods 3. The Advance Edition update adds even more Prunty to the soundtrack, and I’m all for it. Ben Prunty, who also worked on FTL, Subnautica: Below Zero, and Celeste, crafted an incredible score that succeeds at building a tense atmosphere built for war. It’s honestly as fun to lose in this game as it is to win for the sake of figuring out how to best use your mech squad. The game has a “reset turn” time travel option that acts as a mulligan for war and instantly lets me fix my mistake, but you can only use it once per level, and I almost always make the same mistake twice anyway.
I keep making stupid mistakes, like placing my mechs in spots where they’re open to being slammed into a building full of civilians or shooting Vek that will pummel into an ally and cause damage. I, admittedly, am still on the training wheels of easy mode while I get the hang of things.
The former game has a strict ruleset that keeps ramping up in interesting ways as the game progresses, and while the same can be said about Advance Wars, Into the Breach doubles down on its brutality with pilot permadeath. Into the Breach is for scholars, Advance Wars is for babies (sorry!). Into the Breach is chess, Advance Wars is checkers. Earlier I compared this game to Advance Wars, but that’s not quite accurate.
