'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'm pretty damn sure they weren't playing the same FTL you played, since the FTL they're talking about doesn't have any crystals or monster spawns. There are monsters of a sort, but they beam onto your spaceship from their spaceship and can appear anywhere.
And there's only 'darkness' if you don't have a sensor suite installed on your ship or if you're stuck in a nebula.
Screw nebulas, man.

Oh you are absolutely right. Egg on my face. I got it mixed up with Dungeon of the Endless. So just ignore my entire rant.
