Into the Breach
Subset Games
Into the Breach is a tiny tactics puzzle: three mechs, a city, and perfect information for one more turn you can still undo. The island is a chess problem you refuse to rush.
What kind of game is it?
Turn-based tactics with time-travel undo. A turn is a chess problem you can rewind. A city burns if the next thought is late, and a mech moves because you saw the fire one second early.
Who is it for?
For players who love a turn they can still undo before the city burns.

A turn is a chess problem. The city is the HP bar, and the Vek are a schedule.
