A very good laptop game, or for slow computers in general, and comes with relatively slow gameplay. Considering how few turn-based games there are out there, this is by far one of the best ones on the market. I can't recommend it enough, although it has limited replayability.

Very satisfying audiovisuals. The story is generic, but at least there's the fact that every game-over & every new-game ties into the universe, and is consistent with the story. The immersion is uninterrupted, the fourth wall is never broken, you get shamed for resetting your game hoping for a good RNG start, and the stats/highscores keep track of everything you do.

Valid complaints would include unrealised potential for greater variety, lack of choices/encounters for the story, few mission types, unimpressive ending, etc.

However, the two most common complaints are:

"It's too hard" - absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Easy/medium difficulty are a cakewalk, and a waste of time. Assuming that you play on hard, the game is difficult for new players, which is tons of fun. As you get better, you will reach a point where it's impossible to lose, so long as you play it safe.

This rarely happens, though. You'll screw up due to recklessness, embrace the YEET lifestyle, or put artificial limitations on yourself (such as "I won't buy the strongest weapon in the game because it'll be too easy"). Then you lose.

Into the Breach on hard is comparable to XCOM on classic difficulty. Much shorter (3 hours per campaign, as opposed to 60), so you could argue that it's easier. I would like for ITB to come with an impossible difficulty for future DLC.

"It's not as good as FTL" - this can be said about... anything on the market, really. FTL is one of the greatest PC games in history. The comparison is pointless. Personally, I'm glad that they chose to experiment with a slightly different genre, rather than just making an FTL 2.

A superb choice for slow laptops with a high battery capacity. A must buy if you have a long airplane ride coming up.

If you're stationary, $15 may seem a bit pricey. Definitely get FTL first.
