Top 5 Best Indie Games of 2018 So Far

The running theme of this list is that there are a lot of indie games this year that aren’t just thriving relative to their funding versus AAA games. Indie games are thriving and also succeeding in ways that exceed even the biggest budget competition. Into the Breach falls into that category.

Into the Breach takes a unique, micro-battle approach infused with pure 100% strategy. There’s no luck to manage here. Everything is 100% accurate, and the enemy Vek show you exactly what they are going to do each and every turn. Meaning, the onus is entirely on you to develop the correct strategy to survive and succeed.

Unlike long drawn out affairs seen in other strategy games such as Valkyria Chronicles, Into the Breach battles are much quicker. The scale of the map and pace of each game makes trial and error all part of the experience. Here, you’re encouraged to change up your strategy, and failure doesn’t feel like a total disaster. This forms a fundamental part of learning the game’s systems, and it’s surely a major part of what has made Into the Breach popular such a success.
