Into the Breach, also known as "Pacific Rim Chess", is the second title from Subset Games. First they made FTL: Faster Than Light, one of the best roguelikes ever made, then said, "let's do it again, but this time, while knocking giant bugs into the concrete. And sometimes into buildings full of people." It's a great game and you should play it!!! AND IM GONNA TELL YOU WHHYYYYYYY
And remember, if you disagree with me about the tier list rankings in this video, the GREAT PYRAMID OF VERAC™ always needs more unpaid laborers.

I find it funny that even in the far future, Winter/Ice is still viewed as a "make or break" factor 😂. The irony is that, in our real world scenario, it's what the Russians and Fins relied on the most back during Napoleon's invasion and WW2. And I find it even funnier that you decided to "cheese" the hardest difficulty using a "real world solution" 😂.

My man forgot that shields prevent the cryo canon self freeze so if you run a shield passive pilot you have an instant kill mech from the get go

[@Verac_VG]

That's a good tip!

[@thehoneygrabberz]

The cryo launcher mech is also probably the single strongest mech in the game just due to the fact that frozen veks count as still being alive, meaning you get less vek spawns during the encounter

[@Sandman_IX]

Yes its required, tho the 2 way cannon is shit

[@Thisisthegreatestatofalltime]

@@thehoneygrabberzNah that’s easily exchange mech can affect two veks on nearly every turn and is basically guaranteed to be able to affect one. No other mech is that consistently good. Not to mention it’s this good with no upgrades, the upgrades though can still be useful the damage one especially.

The best part of this game is trying out the Custom Mechs section and finding out you can just put 3 same mechs and nothing else You know what that means SWAP MECH SWAP MECH SWAP MECH

It's not the best but three custom mechs with the judoka weapons make bosses fun and easy as you daisy chain them to opposite ends of the map.

[@MrZDMan]

Unironically tried that to beat the all flying mechs achievement. Didnt win after 15 tries, but was really, really fun. I won with 3 jet mechs, but wasnt nearly as intresting as trying to swapmaxx my way into being the savior of at least one universe.

"These guys are very good at dealing damage, to themselves" "If you're Japanese, these guys are pretty good" Are you trying to imply something here Verac?

[@ΝικηφοροςΚοτσυφακης]

Imply? It's a direct statement

[@Akira_Apostle_of_Ina]

Arachnophiles is an instant S Tier? Hm, I'm sure Verac must of have had incredibly well thought out, reasonable thought process behind that, I'm certain of it! Completely unrelated note, but upon replaying all the Xcom games recently, I have definitively answered the question of 'Why would the humans forgive the aliens?' that you posed in your Chimera squad video Imagine, if you will, you return home to your loving partner. This 9 foot tall melding of flesh and goop, a faceless, is your lover. Seeing that you have had a difficult day at work because the fucking mayor blew up or something, your faceless partner immediately shifts their form into that of Virtual KZbinr Hoshimachi Suisei. On special occasion, they may even shift into fancier forms, like some sort of spider woman perhaps. I feel I need no further explanation of why humanity forgave them all

[@DullahanKai]

Or alternatively. snek woman hot.

Congratulations on making Shinzō Abe proud, I wish you and your growing family all the best!

[@ramaron]

15:07 HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

[@slenderminion2229]

Funny thing about the Frozen Titans is that the Ice Mech's icing mechanic is supposed to balance out how broken its weapon would be otherwise. If you put the pilot Bethany Jones into it however, then the shield she starts every battle with completely prevents her from getting iced, which means you can fire the weapon without any drawbacks whatsoever. This also works with Adam and the Zoltan, though the former requires you to use your reset once to get the shield and the other is difficult to unlock.

[@btcbuster5556]

I was just watching the FTL video the other day so this is a nice sequel.

[@Verac_VG]

Glad you liked em!

[@jadedragoon8999]

I never thought I would say this, I never expected any House-posting to appear here.

[@justanotherguywithamoustac8893]

Amazing video, I frequently dabble in Strategy RPGs so I shall indulge in bug extermination! Oh and congrats on the family!

[@Madcat1331]

Fun fact: Bugs don't move randomly! They have some complicated math code going on but TL;DR they arrange themselves in a way that allows the Player to prevent any damage to be suffered in a turn: meaning, there is _always_ an ideal turn hidden in there, unless the Player fundamentally screws up. Into the Breach is not a strategy game, it's a puzzle game!

[@Kaiser282]

This is why it gives me pain when I fail my optimization and take 1 damage and alt-f4 before remembering it's a rogue like.

[@11clocky]

This is false. The devs have clarified that the Vek use a simple scoring system and randomly pick one of the tiles that has the best score. This score is mostly determined by damage potential and which tiles are safest to stand on.

[@nikotheoneshot]

that is actually really cool, huge fucking props to the devs for making a game where death is ALWAYS the player's fault

Would you be fine if someone completely unrelated hypothetically just so happened to make a review of this game sometime between the next year and decade?)

Thank god we have "time powers" in this game because I think most of hours in the game come from me dreading the fact that Im gonna lose a single point of power and if the vek had a single fraction of that time they would of learned how to swim. Also that cataclysm is an S tier for sure! being able to insta kill anything anywhere as long as you kill one other thing is such a good trade ESPECIALLY one shotting non-flying hive bosses and enemies.

[@Legoman_D8]

I love the frozen titans, the Ice mech in particular is balanced out with it freezing itself, but if you give yourself a pilot which can give itself a shield, that drawback is completely removed and the squad is completely broken. The squad does still suck when you have to actually kill the Vek for a mission.

[@maestromarat6195]

the pilot that starts with a shield totally trivializes frozen titans. If you have a shield you are immune to all statuses including freeze, so you can basically use the freezing shot with 0 down side. It goes from being the weakest squad to probably the most OP (just don't hope to get many kills)

[@logixindie]

Nice to see Adam getting some love, he is my default starting pilot for any squad.

[@feasibilyheretical]

Hate to be the 🤓 here but the ice mech is one of the best in the game, if you use one of the two pilots which grant this mech a shield it will no longer freeze your mech when it fires aslong as the shield remains active essentially removing the entire downside of the mech.

[@harrysboylan]

If the freeze cannon has a shield, it's immune to being self frozen. This turns it from being "risky but rewarding" to "laughs in frozen instant kill every round"
