Once more, Into The Breach is free on the Epic Games StoreTime after time.
Time after time.
Thursday’s rolled in once again, which means it’s time for another giveaway on the Epic Games Store. This week, turn-based stomperInto The Breachis dropping in for free. It’s had its moment in the spotlight before - as one of the platform’s 12 free days of December 2019 - but those time-traveling mech rascals are trying their luck with another timeline, delivering some stellar tactics puzzles for free ‘til Thursday 10th.
In case you’re new to this timeline, Into The Breach is basically Pacific Rim Chess. Each board is a series of perfectly devilish puzzles to untangle with your lance, daring you to defend cities, trains, launch sites, and ancient weapons against swarms of massive bugs. Every foe acts predictably, all the cards are on the table - it’s you’re job to stack them in your favour.

“There are those games whose technology or setpieces or storytelling I thrill to,” Alec (RPS in peace) remarked in hisInto The Breach review. “Then there are the games where I marvel, most of all, at the elegance of the design, the remarkable precision at which so many interlocking gears are arranged, particularly in something as breezily-executed as Into The Breach. The Spelunkies, the Slay The Spires and, of course, the FTLs. Into The Breach effortlessly joins those ranks, instantly feeling ageless and ingenious, a collecting of long-known designs honed to a glorious sheen.”
Oh, but we do love us a bit of Into The Breach here. It’s still one of ourfave strategy gamesafter all, and hassome of the stompiest mechs in gamesif list-goblin Brendy’s to be believed. Fellow RPS departee Adam Smith grilled the devs onhow the game hurts your feelings in all the right placesback at Rezzed 2018, and the pressures of following up FTL’s breakout success.
