DESCRIPTION

Command a team of space marines against alien beasts, robots and enemy troops in Breach. With its vivid 16-bit graphics and blood-curdling death screams, Breach fused tactical, turn-based squad combat with the glitzy appeal of an arcade game. Players lead a squad of soldiers, psychics and technicians through space stations that owe a great deal to the dungeon maps of Rogue. The basic objectives are to recover lost datapacks, blow up fuel tanks and rescue prisoners. From mission to mission your leader gains skills, but if he dies he is erased from the disk. It's that harsh. A scenario editor is also included, giving the title longevity. Breach was followed by two sequels, the first excellent and the second an ill-advised switch to real-time strategy. ~ John Gorenfeld, All Game Guide
