    ***if you're wondering why this is called the "anti-doom" it's because my channel blew up around my Doom content and I was recommending this to my Doom audience as a game to play for a change of pace

      @@Death_Korps_Officer You literally said that having more pieces and an unharmed king means you win. But the goal of chess to checkmate - the amount of pieces you have doesn't matter. It's something novice players tend to forget because most of their chess games are decided because they make a tactical mistake and give up - but the game isn't over just because you lose a couple pawns. This is important because once you start player at more advanced level and get introduced in unbalanced positions where a pawn is worth more than a bishop or a knight and a pawn is worth more than a rook, etc... you really need to stop equating 'winning position' with 'more material'.

    Doom is a fast paced FPS game about staying moving, keeping at higher health, and slaughtering your enemies, but also about using everything you have at your disposal and adapting to your enemies. Into The Breach is a slow, methodical turn-based strategy game about deciding whether it's better to take the hit or avoid it, to lose one building to reduce overwhelming threat or risk them turning on you after, and completing as many main and secondary objectives as possible, but also about using everything at your disposal and adapting to your enemies. They're remarkably different games on the surface, but they share some of the same secondary skill set.

    with "Into the Breach" i have a small motto. "There is ALWAYS a way". I genuinely believe that so long as you keep your enemy spawns in check and don't allow eight or more enemies to exist on the board at once, then the game's A.I. intentionally directs the enemies to always take actions with at least one flawless solution.
    i say this as i've almost always found them to some capacity. so long as there aren't too many Vek in play at once, then there is always a way to get away scott free.

    • @kpbotbot
      @kpbotbot 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      This is how I play too. I would even go to the point of severely damaging my mechs from blocking if it meant having to deal with less Vek on the map. The smaller the "health margins" I set for my mechs, the easier the game became on normal.
      Still won't touch hard though haha

      Unfortunately that's not true - the AI in the game doesn't have a grand scheme of things in mind, it doesn't even take other Vek into account when deciding the moves, which I guess makes them open to various amusing chain-friendly-fire combinations. It's this simplicity that evolves into an awesome design by itself.

    Thanks for giving me the final push I needed. I've always theoretically loved everything about Into The Breach: the mechanics, the complexity, the art: I've read and watched tons of reviews and behind the scenes videos on this game but never actually purchased or played it because I don't usually enjoy turn based games. However I recentlu got a switch lite and have been looking for good games to play on the go, your video brought the game back to mind and I ended up getting it for the switch. I've been playing it for the past few hours and am absolutely in love with it. Thank you for shining the spotlight on gems lite this. I dont know however if I'd call it the Anti Doom: Hugo Martin has referred to Doom Eternal as combat chess, I cant think of a better way to describe Into The Breach than combat chess: Into the Breach and Doom Eternal are more like two very different versions of the same game.

To me, they're the hardest mech squad to use because I had a hard time finishing a game with them on normal (where-as I've finished a 2, 3, and 4 island victory with all the other squads, save the secret squad, on hard). My three favourite squads, in no particular order, are Rusting Hulks, Flame Behemoths, and Hazardous Mechs.

    That was shockingly accurate and I like the phase of pondering over how the heck you are going to get out of the mess you walked into.
    Sometimes it is even that you have to sacrifice something and I am impressed by the game, that even a building going down that I could not save somehow hurts. It means something to sacrifice in this game, to me at least.

    Very happy to see this game getting more love. I felt like it got overshadowed when it came out due to people wanting something more like FTL 2 from Subset. This game is the very embodiment of simple, less is more, elegant design.

  • @caltheuntitled8021
    @caltheuntitled8021 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You briefly showed it in the very last clip, but one of the fun things about the game is making the enemies attack each other. Because they determine how they’re going to attack before your turn, you can move them so that they kill each other. Attack order becomes especially important when doing that, because it could be the difference between a bug attacking a building, then being killed by another bug, or the bug being killed and not being able to hurt the building.

    Fun fact, if you get all the objectives on every mission you do on an island, failing none, you will get an additional bonus reward upon the completion of the island. I have found that due to the extra supplies you can get from the stars, including grid power and the 100% objective bonus, it is often better to take a grid damage to ensure an objective while completing the island, as the bonus will more than pay for that damage once the island is complete

    This game is so so good. I bought it on a friend's recommendation, and actually kind of hated it at first because of its deceptively difficult nature. But once you hit your stride it becomes really fascinating and addicting. I wound up basically 100%-ing it (though I haven't beaten everything on Hard yet) because I just didn't want to be done with it. My favorite game of the past five years, easily.

    7:01: As far as big picture plays are concerned, in my view the 3xp from the scorpion really isn't worth leaving the two hornets alive. Instead, I would've punched the hornet attacking the left-hand satellite (killing it), shot the scarab into the left-hand satellite (also killing it), and hit the hornet attacking the building with the artillery shot (killing it because the forest would catch fire, causing a second point of damage to the hornet before it can carry out its attack, as environmental damage always happens before Vek damage). Your pilots generally level-up quickly enough that going for xp at the cost of putting yourself into an inferior strategic position is almost never necessary.
    -
    9:06: The reset mechanic is why my favourite pilot is actually Isaac (who gives you one extra use of reset turn per battle). Every other pilot makes your mechs better, but he makes the _player_ better by further increasing your leeway for making mistakes, experimenting - all the stuff you mentioned, really. He's also the perfect pilot to playtest modded squadrons with, because that way you are using only their baseline potential (not their baseline potential plus some potentially game-breaking extra), but are getting the absolute most out of that potential because of the extra reset, letting you gauge how balanced the mod-squad is as accurately as possible.
    -
    9:38: And _that's_ why leaving the hornets alive was ill-advised. This goes for any Vek really, but hornets especially have a habit of flying themselves into some _amazingly_ inconvenient spots.
    -
    11:00: And indeed, those two hornets are still alive as of the end of the battle. So whilst you gained 3xp for killing the scorpion the satellite launch would otherwise have killed, you essentially robbed Peter to pay Paul by losing out on the 4xp for killing those two hornets.
    -
    13:21: These plays at the end, on the other hand, are suitably galaxy-brained. Kudos for showing those off. In the boss battle, I would've put the artillery mech in front of the building rather than behind it, but that's a nitpick.

You can't take the enemy in a head on fight because they outnumber you 100:1 so capitalise on the few advantages you do have. I love that kind of asymmetric gameplay.

    Huge thing about this game is that it doesn't move bugs randomly. Somehow it manages to calculate their movement so that unless you already lost a mech, you're _guaranteed_ to prevent all grid damage in any turn with any set of weapons (spawns are random though). It may require to trade some mech damage sometimes, but grid always can be safe, if you're good enough in this game. Saying that with 130 hours in and 5 perfect 4-islands runs with all different squads, without taking a single point of grid damage, including the final encounter.
    Don't know how did they managed to program this, but it's such a great work. It's crazy engaging, because every time I lose, I _know_ that it's not random decided to screw me up, but it's _my_ own mistake, and if I'll get better, it won't happen. A masterpiece of tactic games.
