Into The Breach Is Way Better As A Mobile Game

thegamer.com:

Into the Breach, the acclaimed indie tactics game from Subset Games, recently launched on… Netflix. Over the last few years, the streaming giant has been making its way into the interactive space. In 2018, it released Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, an FMV-style episode of its popular sci-fi anthology series, in which players could make decisions at various points. Since then, Netflix has continued to invest in games, for example through the interactive Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt movie and You vs. Wild, a series of playable shorts starring Bear Grylls.

Netflix has also made inroads into gaming in more traditional (read: not FMV) ways. Most notably, any Netflix subscriber with a smartphone can now access dozens of games through the app. Well, it’s actually a little more complicated than that. You can find the games in the app and click on them, which will open up the App Store, where you can download the game. Once it’s downloaded, you’ll need to log into your Netflix account to play it. So, there are two login screens standing between you and mobile Netflix gaming, but if you remember your password (or can easily find the text from your mom where she gave you hers) you can play games on the go. Some of which are great.

Which brings us back to Into the Breach. The 2018 mechs vs. kaiju game is now accessible via Netflix which means you can now play a really good tactics game for free with no microtransactions on your phone. I played a fair amount of Into the Breach when it launched. It was the subject of immense critical praise at the time and won its fair share of game of the year awards even against stiff triple-A competition from the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War,
