'Into the Breach' promises more pixellated sci-fi action.
If you've played FTL: Faster Than Light, you know that it's a sublime gaming experience, well deserving of its high ratings and devoted fan base. Developer Subset Games has just launched a teaser trailer for its follow-up title, Into The Breach. FTL provided players with perfectly-balanced chaos-management activities that made building, defending and upgrading a spaceship and its crew incredibly fun. Into The Breach looks to be as enjoyable, and the gameplay on display has even more of the same retro-pixel sci-fi mayhem.
Once again, the art-style looks adorable, with an isometric viewpoint on a small gaming grid that's populated with darling little monsters and heroes. The music is by Ben Prunty, the guy that made FTL's distinctive soundtrack (which you can buy on vinyl, you hipster), so you know it's going to rock.

I don't give 2 shits about playing the game, but I've found some new coding background music in the soundtrack - It's atmospheric without using too many annoying queefy sounds Thanks!

FYI there are two versions of each track: one for peace time ("Explore") and one for combat ("Battle"). The latter has more percussions.
My favorite track, a bit of dubstep-ish at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFkGjEut9U4&t=1h41m [youtube.com]
