I found the first way it doesn’t measure up to the source material in my first 5 minutes of play:
when deploying your units for battle, you don’t have access to any information about what they can do.
Into the Breach, which is perfect, provides all information at all times.
Hopefully this is the only issue, and the developers used everything ELSE they learned from Into the Breach to make a game that surpasses it in every other way!
Since Covid happened, I seem to really understand less and less what people have been posting in their messages then!
I have a hard time imagining that, without the awesome decision of sacrificing units to save cities, Into the Breach would be good, but I’m mostly driven by narrative in my broken mind, and Into the Breach is an incredible fuel generator on that front.
I believe it is mostly people just don’t like starting off a thread for a game with a dick title. Ripoff just has a negative connotation, especially from someone who hasn’t put enough time into it to determine it is a ripoff beyond the obvious similarities.
You mean what enemies can do? You most certainly do have access to that. Tutorials are your friend. You should already know what your own units can do.
