aliens: dark descent
into the breach
shadow tactics: blade of the shogun
infested planet

About to pull the trigger on all 4 for about $22 and wanted to query the board for opinions, hot takes, etc.

I've only played Into the Breach from that list, but I found it to be really addictive. I put 100+ hours into it

I think it's the same developers who made FTL

It is, and glad to hear the feedback. Looks pretty solid for $5

I've played Into the Breach and it is a fantastic little strategy game well worth $5!!

I've also played Shadow Tactics and it looks very cool but I also bought it on sale and shelved it after a few missions to play some other stuff I bought on sale.

Still for $3.99 you can't go wrong! I haven't played the other 2.

Dark Descent was a fun game

into the breach


this one is pretty fun. once i figured out the mechanics of a turn and friendly fire and what to defend, game really became appealing.

still stuck on the first island, cant really get any bonus objectives yet but making it 3-4 missions before having to restart.

definitely will stick with this one.

infested planet is neat, i see some appeal.

Into the Breach gets better too the more you play it. Even after failed runs you keep your experience and unlock stuff (I think, it's been awhile since I played it).

Also there are I think three different unit sets that you eventually unlock, and each plays differently.

It really is a great game.

into the breach is supposedly very very good.

alien descent is good but man is it kind of stressful.

got nothing on other 2.
