The creators of FTL channel Pacific Rim for their new strategy game
Subset Games, the two-person studio behind the massive indie hit FTL, have announced their second game. Called Into The Breach, it looks to be a turn-based strategy game in the mold of Advanced Wars, where players control an army of giant customizable robots and fend off angry critters that have erupted from below Earth’s surface. That Pacific Rim-style kaiju-on-mecha action will take place on maps that also house the civilian buildings powering your mechs, so collateral damage is extra bad news. Like FTL, each campaign you play will be randomly generated at the start, with the idea being that your inevitable failure presents an opportunity to “send help back through time to save another timeline.”
