Look, I don't leave Steam Reviews. Like, ever. This is the fourth review I've made, and the first in over eight years. This game is amazing. It's been such a breath of fresh air in a gaming industry that's become so devoid of creativity and genuine fun, and I've loved every minute of it. I'm someone that has casually enjoyed games like XCOM, generally enjoys puzzle games, but more than anything loves games that can barely contain the creativity and care poured into them. This game has it ALL, never outstays its welcome, and is well written with some genuinely witty humour to top it all off. I've followed the designer/writer for over ten years now, and always admired their game design philosophy and outlook, but never quite thought their games were for me. That all changed with Tactical Breach Wizards. I love this game, so much, and I hope that you give it and its demo a chance. 10/10 would defenestrate again.

Tactical Breach Wizards is a turn based puzzle game where an ex-military wizard and a private detective wizard must team up to stop a group of terrorist wizards from starting World War 5. Gameplay • This review is going to sound negative, so the first thing I wanted to say is that this isn’t a bad game, its just not as good as I hoped it would be. I was expecting a tactical combat game similar to Xcom or Banner Saga, but actually Tactical Breach Wizards is more of a puzzle game whose puzzles involve turn based combat, if that makes sense. The most accurate comparison I can think of is Into The Breach, which I did enjoy, and I do also like puzzle games, but somehow TBW just felt a bit disappointing for me. • A large part of the combat system is designed around getting instant kills for knocking guys out of windows, or back into walls/objects to deal collision damage. One of your allies can place an instant death portal on almost any wall, that you can knock an enemy into. But you’ll encounter more powerful enemies which have knockback resistance, and some missions put the biggest threats in the middle of a room, several tiles away from a window, which makes those instant kills harder to set up. • Another complication is that the starting characters’ attacks are quite weak, relative to the number of enemies in each mission, and the size of their health bars. Eventually you’ll recruit two more characters who actually have good damage dealing abilities, but they still need to be upgraded first, so it wasn’t until the game’s final chapter that I really felt in control. • Another reason this feels like a puzzle game is because the order that you do things is very important, especially when you need to deal with enemies who can perform counter attacks on your turn, or change which of your characters they’re planning to attack based on who is closest to them. Fortunately, because one of your characters can see the future, the player has complete freedom to rewind/undo moves during your turn if you make a mistake. • Also, the player doesn’t choose which characters to take into each mission. Your lineup is always decided by the story*, so each mission is less about “what tactics do I want to use?” and more like “what tactics does the level designer want me to use?”. (*You can replay already completed missions later, with different lineups). • I’m not complaining about the game being too hard. I was never stuck on any mission for too long. It just often felt messy and inefficient, more annoying than fun. • Most missions have optional objectives which reward the player with confidence points, which can be used to unlock cosmetic outfits. I did some of them, but I didn’t stress about others. For example, if an objective was “finish in 4 turns” and I finished in 5, I didn’t spend ages trying to do it quicker, I just took the win and moved on. • Another important mechanic is that most missions will have a limited number of enemy reinforcements entering the map from doors, which can be sealed to prevent them from spawning. I think my feelings about the combat system are most accurately summed up when I say that the best way to deal with enemies is to not fight them at all. Story • This is the best part of the game. Very well written, with several interesting characters, and amusing dialogue playing off some interesting ideas. Like a Pyromancer who can’t kill anybody because his flames are only hot enough to cause mild irritation. Or a Necromedic who can only heal people if they’re already dead. Technical • It took me 14 hours to complete the story. • I didn’t encounter any problems with framerate, bugs, or crashes. Recommendation I have mixed feelings about Tactical Breach Wizards, and honestly I still don’t understand why I don’t like it as much as everyone else seems to. I think the most important thing is just to understand what kind of game this is before you play it.

Okay, after "Traffic Warlock" they had me. Also, to whomever is managing the license, please consider turning this into a full-fledged animated series on the streaming service of your choice.

Counting only the writing, it's a great game. Counting only the mechanics, it's a great game. Counting only the world building, it's a great game. All together it's something special

I'm not sure which is the bigger draw, the funny writing or the tactical combat with varied and interesting abilities. Played through on the harder difficulty and some missions were still fairly easy, but there were some that I had to try multiple plans before I figured it out. I think if you have experience with tactical combat in games and want a challenge then you want the harder difficulty. The optional objectives also provide a way to add challenge. I generally tried for them and got a bunch but I moved on if I didn't. The missions are contained on a single screen so they aren't sprawling - but several can be connected together so they have multiple stages. Definitely a recommend for me.
