'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 must agree, and I plan on avoiding rogue-like games in the future. I appreciate the risk factor of potentially losing characters, but I don't want to have to repeat the game 10 times just to beat it once. There obviously was a lot of thought put into the plotlines but looking through the FTL wiki I missed a lot of them in the 10 hours I put into it.

    Starting Score:    1  point
    Karma-Bonus Modifier   +1  
    Total Score:   2

    Some other good games with lots of randomness (not rogue-like): Darkest Dungeon, Airships: Conquer the Skies, Rimworld
