Faster than landcrawlers.

Into the Breach, a mechanized turn-based strategy from the makers of FTL, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com.
**Buy it until March 6th, 3PM UTC and get FTL: Advanced Edition for FREE.**
If you already own FTL on GOG.com, please contact Support to get a gift code for a friend.

Our timeline is under attack! Hideous alien creatures burrowed under our civilization and the only way to drive them back is by employing giant mechs. From the future!
Fine-tune your formidable machines, plan your every move, and watch your fire - there are still some civilians left in there. If everything else fails, just turn to the future for reinforcements and another chance.

In the press:

- Jason Shreier from the Kotaku gang played the game a few weeks back, loved it and described it as beautiful kaiju chess. Catchy.

- Gamespot gave the game 9/10, calling it "a pristine and pragmatic tactical gem with dynamic conflicts that will inspire you to jump back in again, and again, and again."

- The people at We Got this Covered found the game to be fantastic, saying "it borrows confidently from FTL's successes but differentiates itself as a tight, highly replayable tactics game".

PaterAlf: Anyone still wants FTL: Advanced Edition? I have a gift key that I don't need.

zeffyr: You can donate it to The Community Giveaway.
Yes, I know. But I thought this thread might be a faster way to get rid of it. The code is only valid for 14 days.

Mine found an owner a few hours after it joined the gifts list :)

Fortuk: Why? It's already popular and short but with great replay value, so lots of people are playing it and could have already finished their first playthrough. It would have surprised me if it got dunked on.

zheprime: Because generally it means it's overrated and getting praised for the wrong reasons. I can't even remember all the times this has happened in the past and when you play it yourself you notice how flawed the game actually is. But the main reason it got praised was for (example) the visuals yet people praised the game as a whole to the heavens.
In reality it's just a basic roguelike type SRPG with a focus on positioning and repositioning. I don't see how that translates to a 9/10 or 10/10 game, especially when not even the surrounding elements like sound, story, visuals and so on is anything to write home about. This makes me sceptical and in turn dissuades me from getting said game at launch. Instead I will most likely add said game to my wishlist and maybe get it on a sale down the line.
Hype is the first step towards disappointment.

Though my couple of days playing this has been quite enjoyable and I could imagine myself re-playing this from time to time when mood strikes me.

Not about the game itself, but just wanted to drop by and thank Subset Games for proving that it is possible to add games, even new games, on GOG not just without price hikes even for poorer regions (as is the recent norm, talking of Eastern Europe, including even a couple of non-EU countries, getting the Eurozone price), but without any regional price hikes at all. Hope it'll stay like this and wasn't a mistake.
