We’ve been eagerly awaiting its release, which has been delayed several times but now appears to be final. I’m talking about Breachway, a promising sci-fi rogue-lite that pits two spaceships against each other and battles them out with cards representing attacks and maneuvers. It could practically be defined as an FTL with the use of cards.

The game was developed by the indie studio Edgeflow Studio and published by Hooded Horses. Its main features are design and unlockable content. In the early access version, four ships will be available, each with unique characteristics that can be enhanced with unlockable bonuses.
Like FTL, the crew component plays an important role, as they can provide boosts based on their applications. Breachway is set to release in early access at the end of August, specifically on the 30th, for PC through Steam, GOG, and Epic. Below, you’ll find the news with some images and the trailer with the release date.
