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".

Woke up this morning and insta-bought it! Played about 240 hours of FTL, so if this game is even 1/4 as good I'll be pretty happy. Thank you GoG!

Mr.Mumbles: I'll buy it now and I'll wait until the Mac version appears. ;)

Mr.Mumbles: The devs already said a Mac/Linux version is forthcoming. Their main focus was on finishing and releasing the game before spending their limited resources on ports.
Good to know thanks. I'll also hold off until the Linux version is available. Too many devs promised and never delivered, plus the uncertainty whether GOG will sell it..

I rarely buy games on release. This was one of them.

Played an hour so far and boy... this game seems even deeper than FTL. There's many different elements, and it looks like we get the ability to manipulate most of them. It was so satisfying to punch an alien just so in position that it kills one of its allies, and then gets killed by a third one in turn!

Don't think I got this good a first impression from a game before.

EDIT: The whole time-traveling aspect reminds me of the Anachrony board game, which is always a good thing!

Why?!!!
I'd rather not do that. No point in geting the game you can not even launch.

Trust me, we, Linux users, experienced it many times: false/empty promises and nothing in the end. And if you somehow believe Mac users are immune to that, I'll say only… Torchlight II pre-order.

MIK0: On Steam they also sell the soundtrack. Is there a plan to sell it on GOG too?
Personally I'd get it on the composers own Bandcamp page as it also provides FLAC, whereas Steam does not:
https://benprunty.bandcamp.com/album/into-the-breach-soundtrack
I understand the "all-in-one-place" mentality most users share, though.

( Additionally, I had an FTL key to give away, Key was given to depanza )

I can't believe you neglected to mention that Chris Avellone worked on this game, GOG:

I'm rather optimistic: they(Subset Games) managed to deliver it with FTL. (Though they went multi-platform at day-one)

Yes, fair enough - but so far these developers have a good history of doing what they said they would. FTL has it's Mac / Linux versions.

Zoidberg: That bonus is kinda meh (who doesn't have that one yet XP) but at least it's cheaper than on Steam. :P
I agree. I don´t know why gog just doesn´t remove FTL from the catalogue, just wasting storefront space.
If subset games really cared about the fans, they would also add Into the Breach to gog connect.

Well I guess some might actually employ him instead of wearing the name as a marketing badge.

Indeed, it is. In recent years he has either worked on projects with trivial additions such as in FTL or ITB where story-telling is not exactly an important or even a very notable part of the game, or long self-serving (read: in love with its own writing) exposition such as can be found Pillars of Eternity/Tyranny/Torment.
