into the breach might not fit the mold of a typical tactical shooter – it’s a grid-based lo-fi game where you get a bird’s-eye view of the entire battlefield, more fire sign as XCOM— but it clearly deserves a spot in your backlog. Each level is like a puzzle as there always seems to be a “right” solution if you can spot it. You control a trio of time-traveling mechs on a mission to save the planet from an onslaught of building-sized bugs. As you play, you’ll unlock more mechs, plus options to mix and match them across teams, optimizing your approach. It’s a relentlessly immersive tactical shooter, the kind of game you can play in bite-sized sessions or day-long marathons.
