The Into The Breach: Advanced Edition update is out today, July 19th. Alec also tried to persuade us that all the game’s timeline-hopping makes players into history’s greatest monster. “Yesterday someone at the pub had their chair perched in front of a step, which meant I couldn't follow the conversation because I was too busy thinking about how he'd tumble if I launched a rock behind him,” he said.Īlex Spencer and Alec (RPS in Peace) both wrote about who they thought was the game’s best mech pilot, time-travel researcher Isaac Jones. Matt got so into, erm, Into The Breach that he felt like he’d breached reality. It's still our best strategy game recommendation, just pipping Subset Games other excellent game FTL: Faster Than Light. A trio of fresh mechs to pilot includes the Thruster, which increases damage the further it travels to attack, the enemy-manipulating Control, and the Smog mech that wields an area-of-effect smoke attack that heals allies too. First up are the Mist Eaters Squad, who throw down a smokescreen to obscure your units from the enemy and buy time for repairs.

Never fear though, because there’s some new squads and mechs to counter the updated enemies and bosses with. 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. Watch on YouTube Into The Breach: Advanced Edition is a hefty free update for the sci-fi strategy classic.
