Tactical Breach Wizards

I wanted to love this game- it's funny and has a great combat system. Ultimately I had to stop playing the game because of the political side shoved in. It's sad that in a techno-fantasy world they had to put our own politics in such an annoying blunt way.

Tactical Breach Wizards is a game whose Steam rating is misleading because it benefits highly from the ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’ binary. It’s a solid, competent game, whose trailers and description clearly showcase what the game is about, both mechanically (grid-based puzzle game) and tonally (quippy). So I would say it’s a rock solid 7/10, which can be tough to give a thumbs-down to. The problem, then, is that rock solid 7/10 leads to a 97% thumbs-up that gets interpreted as a 9.7/10. This game ain’t that. Even if you decide to buy this game, you should not go into it expecting something at that level. It doesn’t have the spectacle or the depth or the aesthetics or the ingenious design or anything else you would associate with a 9/10 or a 10/10 video game. Instead let me offer a simple decision path for whether you should purchase this game: Have you played Into the Breach? If not, go play that one first. If so, next question: Do you want to play more of Into the Breach? If not, do not play this game. If so, then consider playing this game, as the mechanics and aesthetic do offer some fresh aspects to this type of game. That’s it. I wish I had realized the similarity before I played this game past its refund window. Because I wasn’t a huge fan of Into the Breach for much the same reason I’m not a fan of Tactical Breach Wizards. I find the gameplay superficial and unengaging. The problem is that when you have a completely deterministic puzzle game, highly constrained to a handful of actions within a grid-based gaming board, with essentially unlimited and friction-less rewinds, then the gameplay has no stakes, no surprise, no shocking moments, no real sense of discovery and wonder. It just feels like work to me: I’m doing something I already know I’ve mastered and have no real chance of failure but the work’s still gotta get done. Pretty much the opposite of what I’m looking for in a game. You may be different.

Impossibly, Suspicious Development's THIRD game about kicking people out of windows is absolutely excellent. It's like if XCOM and Into the Breach had an excruciatingly British child that learned all the best aspects of their parents, and was really into D&D, but the good bits of D&D, and was a reasonably good comedian with some surprisingly heartfelt bits in their set, and also... Actually, never mind, that's a terrible explanation. Just try the demo to see if its your thing and then get it. I'm off to get the special edition upgrade.

本身不具本地化（翻译），另外通关难度还是较高的

Every wizard in this world gets an unlikeable Millennial personality regardless of age (except for that traffic cop?), and it feels like dialogue is half the game. I had to quit.

It's a really fun game, every level feels like a puzzle, the devs give you the tools to throw it out of the window if you want and that's usually the intended method. My only complaint is that there isn't more story/stories to play through and my only regret is that I didn't buy it earlier.

The game I truly enjoyed. I like such games where all elements are organically combined while also providing wider context and interesting plot. Characters, their design and humor are amazing. I really wish the dialogues had professional voice acting to hear that sarcasm or some Lesli Nielsen sort of jokes. Overall, an excellent puzzle, can be compared to Portal at some point where you forget you are just to solve them. So an excellent puzzle with unique and funny setup, especially if you enjoy XCOM kind of combat
