Playing Tactical Breach Wizards and I seriously cannot recommend this game enough, what an absolute banger. It's incredibly charming, has a wonderful soundtrack, excellent world building and hilarious writing. It's just the right level of quirky and goofy where it's enjoyable and delightful without ever being annoying.

It's set in a kind of weird futuristic Shadowrun-like magical world with some really fun characters, like a necromancer doctor who needs to kill people before she heals them and a traffic warlock who attacks you by summoning cars filled with undead souls to run you over and applies stasis curses as a punishment for illegal parking. You get the sense that the writers who came up with the lore had a blast writing it. It's one of these very special games that make you feel like the developers were having a lot of fun working on it.

When I first saw it, I immediately thought it was going to be like XCOM, which is a game that I really like, so I picked it up on sale. As it turns out, it's actually way way closer to Into the Breach, which I like even more. There's no RNG or accuracy mechanics, it's more like ItB's tile chess positioning dynamics, where you push enemies into walls and other enemies, but this time there's a very funny focus on defenestration. It's incredibly satisfying to line up your moves so that you can throw a handful of enemies through a window in the same turn.

I've only just started playing it, but I can already tell that it's going to be an all-timer for me. It's an incredibly joyful, lighthearted and fun game that I'd recommend to anyone, but it's absolutely a must-play if you enjoyed Into the Breach.
