This is maybe a barely perverse supply, seeing as so many people who’ve been jonesing for Into The Breach have the jitters and the sweats particularly as a result of it’s the follow-up to the revered FTL.
However, should you’ve managed to come back to this backwards, i.e. bought all scorching’n’bothered about Into The Breach’s ultra-deft, ultra-lean apocalyptic turn-based technique with out ever having performed its brutal star-trekking predecessor FTL, excellent news! If you purchase Into The Breach through Humble or GOG (and the previous delivers you a Steam key, FYI), you’ll get a free copy of FTL.
The supply for this double-whammy of Subset Games gold solely runs till March 6, so strive to not spend an excessive amount of time deliberating about it. In my Into The Breach review yesterday, I declared that I can consider no cause why I might even contemplate uninstalling this outstanding wee factor any time quickly, and I promise you that I’m not utterly mad.
Into The Breach tears away all of the flab and downtime of technique video games whereas retaining all of – and even amplifying – the tactical stress, in addition to making use of a ludicrously interesting time-travelling robo-tanks vs Godzilla-sized bugs theme to it. Alternatively, it’s a puzzle recreation with mechs and aliens. It is, I believe I can say, a masterpiece of design magnificence.
So was FTL (additionally one of many best space games on PC, for our cash), in its personal manner, although its random merciless occasions and manic real-time fight could make it a considerably extra demanding and fewer honest recreation. Two for the worth of 1 is an excellent deal for 2 of the very best PC video games of the previous decade – should you’ve by no means dabbled in both earlier than, each have my full-throated endorsement.
The two-for-one supply isn’t accessible on Steam, however as I say, shopping for via Humble will get you Steam codes for each video games anyway, or alternatively you may go DRM-free with the ever-so-slightly pricier GOG edition. In both case, the supply expires on March 6.
