comment
Into the Breach is a turn-based tactics game of mechs versus giant monsters from Subset Games, the creators of FTL: Faster Than Light. It was released on Steam in February 27, 2018.It is set 20 Minutes into the Future, where the world has been ravaged by catastrophic rises in the sea level. Things go From Bad to Worse when an army of titanic bugs known as the Vek suddenly invade the earth. With little hope of stopping the invasion, a group of ace mech pilots are sent into the past in order to stop the Vek invasion when it first began, before things became entirely hopeless. Failure is not an option. Every time the current timeline's fate is decided, at least one of your pilots will escape into another timeline to try again.In 2022, a surprise announcement for Into the Breach: Advanced Edition was dropped, a free update adding 5 new squads, 4 pilots, and dozens of new equipment and enemies. It was released on July 19th, 2022.

comment
Anyone Can Die: If a mech loses all its health, it is disabled and cannot be used until the next battle. The pilot, on the other hand, will die if you don't have the Medical Supplies passive ability or, if you're playing with Advanced Edition, the Invulnerable pilot skill.

Damage Discrimination: Everything damages everything initially, which is very useful when redirecting the Vek to attack each other. However, you can unlock limited Friendly Fireproof features for some of your own weapons, usually so that some cannot harm civilian buildings.

 Into the Breach (Video Game) / int_17761744
comment
Heal Thyself: All Mechs are able to spend a turn regenerating 1 HP, which also removes any debuffs. The one exception is if a mech is piloted by Secret Character Kazaaakpleth, who replaces their repair skill with a melee attack instead. Should the Bot Leader take damage, it will forgo attacking for a turn to set up a shield on itself, healing to full after the damage phase ends.

All There in the Manual
 Into the Breach (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa
comment
All There in the Manual: There’s a tremendous amount of backstory hidden in the game files that cover the lives of each character before the Vek arrived, as well as the reasons they chose to become pilots in the first place. During the span of the game, however, only a small amount of this information is divulged in dialogue. This is most prominent with the secret pilots, all of whom have extensive backgrounds that are completely obscured by the alien languages each of them speak.

Chekhov's Gun: In the Tidal Waves mission briefing, Dewey will mention that a volcanic island offshore is causing the flooding. That volcanic island is the Vek hive. On R.S.T., one of the missions you can take on has you defending a couple of prototype "Renfield Bombs" from the Vek. You use the finished product in the final battle to destroy the Vek once and for all.

 Into the Breach (Video Game) / int_22fdc3e3
comment
Single-Use Shield: Both energy shields and freezing work this way - one hit, regardless of how much damage it would do, will harmlessly dissipate the shield/shatter the ice and free the unit within, respectively. However, neither will protect a unit from effects coded to be a One-Hit Kill (such as getting hit by an airstrike or the attack of a Mosquito Leader).

Genre Deconstruction: To Mecha and Kaiju, especially on collateral damage. The main objective of the game involves trying to avoid damage to buildings (residential blocks and power plants), not only out of a sense of morality, but also to make sure to protect the power grid infrastructure that runs your Mechs.

Status Effects: Burn does damage every turn; ice prevents a unit from moving or attacking, but will also nullify one hit, shattering in the process; and A.C.I.D. negates armor and doubles all damage they take directly from mech weapons or Vek attacks.

Ramming Always Works: Zenith Guard's Charge Mech starts with a signature set of Ramming Engines, which allows it to charge up to the full length of the map, damage and push the target. Vek beetles, meanwhile, don't do as much damage (except for the beetle leader), but their ramming attack also doesn't hurt them.

After the End: The world has already been largely destroyed by rising sea levels, but an invasion of building-sized alien insects threatens to destroy everything else that's left. At the beginning of a new profile, the invasion has already happened, prompting the only survivor to go back in time to try again. The entire game is about hopping between various timelines to try and defeat the Vek invasion.

Boring, but Practical
 Into the Breach (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6
comment
Boring, but Practical: Upgrading a mech's starting weapons often works just as well if not better than getting newer ones, as they are designed to synergize well with each other which gives them an advantage over a new weapon that might seem stronger at first glance. Some very useful weapons are very straightforward. The Taurus Cannon, for example, is a gun that fires in a straight line, hits one target, and pushes. It's not an amazing damage dealer and costs a lot to upgrade, but many are the times you'll be firing a fancier weapon from a more complicated squad and curse as you realise it can't push the target away from the building it's about to destroy.

Kill Steal: Downplayed. While only the killing blow matters for which pilot gets the experience, enemies killed by environmental effects, friendly fire or NPC allies divide the experience evenly across your pilots, meaning you aren't penalised for taking advantage of them instead of killing enemies yourself.

It's a Wonderful Failure

It's a Wonderful Failure: Losing the game immediately makes a massive number of Vek spawn from the ground, followed by a Corporate CEO or pilot realizing that the end of the world is imminent and that there's nothing more that can be done, and your surviving pilots (if any) fleeing the mechs while lamenting over their loss. And since the time travel rules of this universe work on many multiple timelines, that one is completely done for. Hope that you don't fail next time!

Spiteful A.I.
 Into the Breach (Video Game) / int_4d54bb0d
comment
The AI is actually quite good, but one weak area is its target prioritization. It tends to randomly select between any viable target, those being a civilian building, a mech, or a frozen ally. This results in buildings getting immobilized, mechs being targeted by precision attacks they can just step away from, or frozen Vek being freed on the final turn. Sometimes, you'll even get two Fireflies targeting the same mech from opposite directions, meaning that they'll shoot each other when your mech casually strolls out of the way. This is likely intentional, as Spiteful A.I. would increase the difficulty substantially, and it gives the impression of the Vek really being mindless beasts that only know how to Attack! Attack! Attack!. Some of the squads (particularly Steel Judoka) are designed from the ground up to take advantage of this.

Limited Loadout: Each mech can only hold one pilot and equip two weapons or passives, and their effectiveness is further limited by the mech's reactor power, which caps out at 11 cores.

Beat Them at Their Own Game: Most abilities let you push enemies around and make them hit each other, or push them on top of tiles and block more Vek from spawning. An Alpha Beetle has a dash attack that damages its target for 3 HP and pushes it away. When fully upgraded, the Rift Walkers' Combat Mech's Titan Fist weapon becomes a dash attack that damages its target for 4 HP and pushes it away.

Artificial Stupidity
 Into the Breach (Video Game) / int_940a5958
comment
Artificial Stupidity: The AI is actually quite good, but one weak area is its target prioritization. It tends to randomly select between any viable target, those being a civilian building, a mech, or a frozen ally. This results in buildings getting immobilized, mechs being targeted by precision attacks they can just step away from, or frozen Vek being freed on the final turn. Sometimes, you'll even get two Fireflies targeting the same mech from opposite directions, meaning that they'll shoot each other when your mech casually strolls out of the way. This is likely intentional, as Spiteful A.I. would increase the difficulty substantially, and it gives the impression of the Vek really being mindless beasts that only know how to Attack! Attack! Attack!. Some of the squads (particularly Steel Judoka) are designed from the ground up to take advantage of this. Target prioritisation will also ignore explosive rocks, even ones in potentially devastating positions. It's particularly obvious with Tumblebugs, whose primary attack is to spawn an explosive rock, then attack it; if you push them away from the rock, they will no longer register it as a viable target, even if it's right next to the corporate HQ you're supposed to be defending, and will only detonate it by setting off another explosive rock next to it. The Vek have a blind spot when it comes to terrain. They will predictably avoid fire tiles unless they're already on fire, but tiles that will move or kill them - lightning strikes, flooding areas, conveyor belts and so on - will not be factored into their strategies, so they will let themselves be fatally shoved into water features by strong winds, prepare attacks that the conveyor belt they're standing on will cause them to unleash on other Vek, or choose a firing position that will be a bottomless pit before they get to actually do anything.

Hero Insurance: The gameplay intentionally averts this, as almost the entire goal of the game is to prevent the destruction of various buildings. You often get rewarded for protecting specific buildings, and allowing too many buildings to get destroyed will lose you the game. You don't even have to kill any of the Vek to win a battle, just last long enough and prevent them from destroying buildings, meaning it's often worthwhile to let your Mechs soak up hits to keep the buildings from being damaged.

No-Sell: Friendly buildings have a very low chance of resisting damage, but collecting power over the limit and certain pilot abilities increase this resistance. It's very difficult to get it beyond about 30% though (and has an absolute maxiumum of of 49%), so it can't be relied on. Shields will negate any incoming damage before shutting down, as well as making the user immune to status effects. The Stabilizers passive allows mechs to completely ignore the damage from blocking surfacing Vek. The Armored quality reduces all weapon damage by 1, which is enough to entirely prevent the damage of most basic Vek and many starting weapons. The Hook Mech and Judo Mech start with armor, as does any mech piloted by Abe Isamu. The Thick Skin pilot skill introduced in Advanced Edition renders the pilot's mech immune to fire and A.C.I.D.

Shout-Out: Laser Mech, of the Zenith Guard, bears a striking resemblance to Metal Gear REX. Many achievements are shout-outs in and of themselves. They include "Get Over Here", "Glittering C-Beams", "Hold the Line", "I'm getting too old for this...", and "This is Fine". Jessica Kern is more than a little reminiscent of a certain grumpy human scientist with a deep mistrust of miraculous visitors from elsewhere & a vested interest in terraforming a planet that is host to both humans and bugs.

Escort Mission
 Into the Breach (Video Game) / int_cfda0ecb
comment
Escort Mission: All islands save Pinnacle have a mission where you must protect a train from being destroyed by the Vek as it moves across the map. Pinnacle instead has several possible missions that involve protecting robots (some of which have gone rogue and are actively causing havoc while you do so). An odd case with the Volatile Vek, which is still hostile, but if it's killed will render an entire area uninhabitable. Fortunately, it has a robust 4 HP and only deals 1 point of damage. Unfortunately, it can be a nuisance by webbing up your mechs.

Anti-Frustration Features
 Into the Breach (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: If all your mechs are disabled in battle, the mission immediately ends after the rest of the turn plays out. All objectives are automatically failed, but without any additional power loss, giving you a chance to recover. The grid pylons in the final area of the game are uninhabited and do not count against a perfect run if destroyed. This is a good thing since it's also the toughest level in the game. While both Spiders' and Alpha Spiders' eggs web all units around the point of landing, the Spider Leader's eggs do not. A good thing too, as it spawns 2-3 eggs per turn. The insta-kill tentacles in the final mission will not spawn on a tile the Renfield Bomb is sitting on. The challenge run objectives only require surviving three islands, meaning players don't have to go the 4th island where the Vek are almost always their Alpha versions. In a mission with a Time Pod landing, the player is warned that they should save it as soon as possible before the Vek get to it, but despite that, the Vek will never intentionally target it or move into the pod's space. It can only be destroyed by a Vek multi-tile attack inadvertently hitting it, the player knocking an enemy into the tile, or getting it hit by a weapon.

Set a Mook to Kill a Mook: Push one Vek in front of another's attack and it'll take the brunt of it. Similarly, you can use them to block incoming reinforcements, and they'll take damage in the process. The Steel Judoka squad, as the name would imply, specialize in this, with weapons heavily focused on repositioning and a passive ability that doubles the damage Vek do to each other.

Technicolor Toxin: A.C.I.D. fits the bill as far as being "dangerous green liquid". Interestingly, it doesn't inherently do any damage by itself — it just makes anything that coated with it extra vulnerable to damage, since it negates armor and causes all weapon hits to do double damage.
