Explore a procedurally-generated galaxy in this turn-based tactical game mixed with a strong dose of deck-building.

Assemble your crew, load out your ship, and explore the galaxy in this deck-building space roguelike. Your deck is determined by your spaceship's loadout, mix and match equipment to discover different powerful card synergies, and obliterate your enemies in tactical space battles. As you level up your modules, you can unlock new cards to take into future battles. 

Breachway doesn’t stop there either - there are many ways you can attack your opponents, from targeting individual hardpoints, to causing the enemy ship to overheat, or simply using a good ol’ fashioned missile barrage. You will need to make snap decisions based on what’s in front of you.

Hooded Horse is excited to announce that Breachway, Edgeflow Studio’s sci-fi roguelike deckbuilding game, will enter into early access for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store on August 30, 2024.

"While this is a month later than we initially planned, and we apologize for the delay, rest assured that the extra time has has gone into adding more content, bug-fixing and polishing everything up. (It also allowed us to add things that are just plain cool, like having battle damage persist between fights until repaired at a hangar.)"

Breachway’s initial early access offering will feature: 

• Four ship types, each with their own layouts, synergies, bonuses, and initial faction standings.
• Multiple types of combat systems to wield in tense turn-based combat, from lasers and missiles to flak and railguns, and even hacking!
• A large collection of over 200 cards to discover to enhance your modules and fine-tune your loadout.
• Unique characters to recruit to your crew, with special abilities to deploy in combat.
• A galaxy map with two regions with their own events, enemy types, and boss encounters. Use the fuel system to reach difficult areas, and be wary of environmental hazards that will affect combat!
• Four fully fleshed-out factions, each with their own associated events and allegiances.
• Meta progression between runs – unlockable ship bonuses, modules, and ship variants.
• Space stations, missions, items, random events, and more!

"We've laid the groundwork for various features such as different factions and how your standing with them unlocks new events or changes interaction options with existing ones, a crew ability and morale system, crew levels, missions, special events that can trigger in combat and lead to different outcomes and rewards, items you can trade and use in various ways in events, and much more. Exploring all of these systems with your involvement will open up possibilities we wouldn't have considered on our own, and harnessing the creativity and feedback of our players as we develop the game further will not only make the journey more enjoyable, but ultimately result in a better game."

Key Features:

• Complex Ship upgrade system - Acquire powerful equipment for your ship, further enhancing its performance with a multitude of subsystems.
• Diverse tactical choices - Hack enemy equipment or disable it with precise rail-gun attacks, overwhelm your enemy with flak barrages, or cook them alive with laser attacks. 
• Uncover powerful card synergies - Test out new card combinations and approaches to combat by mixing and matching equipment and cards in your deck.
• Assemble a rag-tag crew - Each crew member has their own quirks and allegiances that have an effect on how you react to encounters and deal with various factions.
• Unlock new ships and factions - Unlock special faction-specific ships as you play and experience the story and events from different angles.
• Carve your own unique path - Your crew and previous choices determine how you can interact with the varied events you encounter on your journey, while tense narrative encounters force you to grapple with morally grey decisions.

Breachway is due out later this year in early access for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
