Tactical Breach Wizards is a clever tactics/puzzle game thats rewarding abilities and sharp writing make for a clean operation.
helped revive its parent series and a specific type of turn-based tactics game with it, there’s been no shortage of imitators in its mold, from), seems to be playing this sub-genre straight; it’s turn-based, you command a squad who move across a grid-based tile, it’s presented from an isometric perspective.
Combined with the fact that you can see exactly what your opponents will do on their turn because of Zan’s seer abilities and freely rewind your actions to the beginning of the turn, you’re given the control to orchestrate precise missions. A good example is how the melee character Dell has a charge attack that sends her across the map in a straight line, and if it connects, she can perform another one.
If there’s an issue though, it’s that while it’s rewarding to craft efficient solutions to these battles, most of the time, this isn’t mandatory. Your ability to see into the future and the lack of permadeath means that, unlike many other tactics games where a few mistakes will leave your troops in a meatgrinder as you bury a beloved sniper you named after your pet dog, I never got remotely close to failing a mission.
However, while it’s not surprising that this tactics game is focused around, well, tactics, I was caught off guard by the quality of the game’s writing and characters, considering its setup seems like a silly gag: wizards breaching and clearing rooms in spec-ops hardware. As for the premise, we follow Jen Kellen, a spell-casting PI who meets up with Zan Vesker, an old war buddy in a bit of a pinch.
