A new turn based strategy game is coming from the makers of FTL called 'Into the Breach'. No Release date as of yet.

The remnants of human civilization are threatened by gigantic creatures breeding beneath the earth. You must control powerful mechs from the future to hold off this alien threat. Each attempt to save the world presents a new randomly generated challenge in this turn-based strategy game.
Into the Breach
Defend the Cities: Civilian buildings power your mechs. Defend them from the Vek and watch your fire!
Perfect Your Strategy: All enemy attacks are telegraphed in minimalistic, turn-based combat. Analyze your opponent's attack and come up with the perfect counter every turn.
Build the Ultimate Mech: Find powerful new weapons and unique pilots as you battle the Vek infestation across Corporate-Nation islands.
Another Chance: Failure is not an option. When you are defeated, send help back through time to save another timeline!
Looks like this game was released today. Given the rave reviews that FTL got here, I'm curious that there's not been a peep about it here.

Anybody taken a look at it?

I've not had a chance to try it yet, but FTL is "best in class" and I admire a developer that seems to know what it's good at.
I played a couple of hours last night. It's entertaining, but it's a bit too puzzle-like for my tastes. Imagine chess with Mechs and Kaijus. It's worth $15.

Funny thing is I was expecting this to be a Gus comment. Nice work UCG!
We try to reserve Gus for really special missions.

Typically in ductwork?
And moms.
This one is going to be an impulse sale buy for me, I think.

Ha! I'll believe that when I see it - everytime I look at something on Steam, it always says " You have one friend who owns this game - Jarhead0331" :))
I have watched quite a few videos on this one...it seems like a one trick pony to me. Not a lot of depth or variation. I believe that I will pass on this one.
