Can you put these into the description so KZhead puts marks on the play bar itself

This game made me go through "Must save all the innocents!" to "Ah, this turn requires acceptable civilian casualties"
Chef chef si nous n'agissons pas rapidement de nombreux civils mourront. Les paramètres sont acceptable, c'est un sacrifice qu'il faut faire.
Lo que diga ese wey
"Sadly, this turn has a bad setup. Around 125 people will die for this to be executed, but I will form valuable connections with coorporate."
And then you realize that's what actually happens with big head politicians and CEOs around the world and it becomes even funnier.
Every level has a perfect solution, if you're willing and able to find it.
"The Mechs are here!" "Dad, look!" "We are saved!"
famous last words
*-4 grid power*
Abandon timeline option clicked
"142 casualties"
@@supertriton1114 "dad, why are the mechs leaving us? the bugs are still here..."
First island: Alright, toss firefly onto the emerging vek, they'll take out the scorpion attacking the city and die when they block the next wave, use the grav well to pull the psion into- Third island: *"Sir, moving that beetle will put it directly in the path of the orphan building"* "Did I ask for your sass, Jones?"
Some of you may died. But that a cost that im willing to sacrifire
This is a very random comment - But I love how the quit option is called “Abandon Timeline”. It makes you feel bad for quitting, even if everything is going horribly. If it was just called “quit” I probably wouldn’t care at all about ending a bad run to start over. But just thinking about all the people in those buildings and the CEO’s struggling to explain why the mechs just up and left... Even if it’s just a game, that one design choice makes you think a lot on your actions.
Not just the people in the buildings, also the entire planet will be taken over by an alien hive mind. Approximately 4.6 billion individuals in total terror, left to be forgotten. Not only your family is left for dead, also a past version of yourself will be left behind. On the bright side: the federation themed FTL-pods indicate that humanity had already build the intergelactic federation en will therefor not go extinct. It is merely an entire planetwide civilization becoming the feedingground of an alien monstrosity.
Michel van Leeuwen Oh wow, so this universe and the FTL universe are the same? Very cool! I wonder if the Mantis from FTL are related to the Vekk, then. Hmm.
@@bugjams It is possible to find secret pilots, which are actual caracters in FTL. For example, you can have the well known mantis 'Kazaaakplethkilik' in one of your mechs. In FTL, he is feared for fighting other mantisses instead of other species. In Into the Breach he's not fighting for humanity, but because he simply likes killing oversized insects. I don't know if you have Into the Breach yourself, but is so, I recomment you start looking for glowing beacons inside broken mountains and ice. ; )
Nah.. Along as you live to witness it happening again!
Everytime you start a new timeline, you doom millions to die.
I Always picture myself shouting at the "old lady" CEO. "IF IT STOPED TO DO THAT DAMN SECONDARY OBJECTIVE ANOTHER THOUSAND INNOCENTS WOULD DIE" "You're unsatisfied with the results? Come here and substitute the pilot Who died trying to save your ass, I would love to see If you can present a Better result"
Dude fuck her she's the worst 😂
Time Pod: Destroyed by friendly fire. Me: ABANDON TIME LINE!
The thing that is so great about ITB is how it makes you think in terms of "what is an acceptable loss." Entire runs can rely on that favorite pilot of yours getting sacrificed, which really makes it worse when they are given different personalities that make you not want to lose them. Also, favorite track is Cataclysm because it embodies the whole "they are coming, get ready" vibe.
My favorite run was the one where I sacrificed a pilot to protect the bomb, then they showed up after the run and remembered that they had the Invulnerable trait. I love when I think I lost something and the game takes pity on me. 😄
A thing Subset Games has been really good at is silently incorporating subtext about warfare in their games, not as an explicitly written element but rather as an active gameplay component: Into the Breach makes you come at terms that there WILL be losses whether you like it or not and sacrifices must be made, whereas FtL tells you that sometimes your sense of honor must subdue to convenience, and if you have to be ruthless to accomplish your mission so be it.
And sometimes those acceptable losses come at your mech's own hands and you're put in a trolley problem of sorts. You're about to take 2 grid damage, but if you instead punch the critter into an unrelated neighboring building you'll only lose 1. You know full well everyone in that building will perish, but unfortunately they must be sacrificed for the 'greater good'. Subset has always been amazing at mixing in-game strategy with purely story-based consequences. Obviously on the surface taking 1 damage instead of 2 is optimal in that situation, but it always reminds you about the cost of life these actions are taking in-lore.
What I really appreciated between both into the breach and FTL is that every choice while not showing it, or giving you a giant sign that says "YOU DID BAD." It just says nothing, then later on looking back at that action and really thinking about it. You start to realize "Oh fuck am I the bad guy?" Then you start putting so much weight behind your actions. The next accidental civilian casualty just makes you feel worse. Or when you completely destroy a ship that was surrendering. Then once you hit the end and you start fighting it becomes 10 times more engaging and intense because you want to say that those sacrifices were worth it to save the entire universe. Fucking flawless design.
Was your decision to destroy a Rebel ship transporting supplies to civilians, supplies that - for all you know - could be medicine required to fight a plauge, a decision based on vengance, desperation, or greed? Did you slam that Vek into that apartment complex full of innocent people - some of the last humans on Earth, mind you - because there was no other choice, or because you wanted to get your pilot promoted faster? Are you doing this for the sake of humanity, or are you going to abandon these people - as you have done countless times - just because some number is not high enough?
@@dydlus Those are not last humans on Earth - just some people on one of the 4 islands adjacent to the Vek hive. You're destroying Vek at its cradle in the past while 4.6bil people live in other places (presumably islands far away from the hive). That's what the ending stat screen always says.
@@ThyVile My headcanon is that those lives saved represent the future humans that will be descended from the people on the four islands
There is literally nothing wrong with civilian collateral damage
The enemies in FTL are often jerks so I feel no guilt turning them to dust. Breach though yeah it’s brutal in a very good way.
To all those that were lost in battle... To the time pods that were never recovered... May our timelines cross again.
thank you garfield
@@a1steaksausy42 I hate Mondays, regardless of timeline.
lmao
*I love these mechs strategy games more than the action games, because they remember us protecting civilians lives are the reason we fight.*
This game deserves a movie
Wait about 20 years and maybe
Pacific Rim is pretty close
basically Edge Of Tomorrow but with the Jaegers from Pacific Rim and without the Starship Troopers.
Oh man, I would LOVE an Into The Breach movie. It's got enough characters and a great enough setting that you _could_ build a movie plot out of it. Or a Netflix animated series.
Me: Destroys and kills thousand of civillians. CEOs: PERFECT ISLAND!
Best parts 8:45 Old War Machines 21:50 The blast garden 48:55 Acid
23:15 Cacatylsm. And I actually mean the beginning.
@@SuperGamersgames I came back here too due to the advanced edition update. Wonderful ost for a great game
@@randonio1215 Same. I saw the advanced edition and thought "Damn, do I get back into this game after three years?" and then I did. I was NOT disappointed. Same vibes as before. The new teams are hit or miss but you can win fairly consistently with them. The new mechanics are fun as they add cool new ways to play with the debuff effects. And thank goodness for the "Thick Skin" trait you can get on your pilots ! Then I tried the Unfair level with a squad I built. Oh my God is the name justified. I won in the end but I save something like 85% of the population, which to me is absolutely horrible (I consider 90% to be a bad win) but you just HAVE to accept that it's that tough. I'm glad they didn't add the new Vek in the final mission though. That would have been absolutely horrible to play against. Unfair is definitely for people who want the maximum challenge. But it is fun !
Acit is my fucking favourite. Searched ost because of it, slow build up and then almost a beat drop is amazing.
Pinnacle Robotics was pretty cool too imo
I was having a lot of trouble when o started playing, and I kept experiencing the feeling of "why am *I* in chrage of saving the world?" But then i came back after a break, and I ran several flawless campaigns and I felt so good about myself for embodying the tactical specialist that the game wanted me to be. All that emotion generated from a handful of pixels and some beautifully designed interactions
Everyone else: "I need to think carefully about how I plan my next move, or else all these civilian buildings will be destroyed." Me, an intellectual: *entire cityscape is burning because my own mechs crashed into them and blew them up* "We did it Patrick! We saved the city!"
you remind me of the show megas XLR
Frostpunk and Into the Breach slowly subconsciously turning me into a living calculator with no regard to loss of any kind gotta love this
How awesome and a little bit creepy (in the best way) is the title: "Don't Forget What I Taught You" Especially in a game about timelines and trying to help others survive.
Yeah. And when it plays fits it even better. At the end, when you left the timeline and moved on to the next. It kind of gives the feeling that one wrong move could cause all of the pilots to forget what happened, and that you will be meeting some allies from this timeline in the next.
I think whatever OST Ben Prunty produces, it’s always pure gold.
Ben Prunty does great shit There is also Lord Simon Viklund from payday if you are into that
I've been listening to the FTL soundtrack for a while. I just came onto this. He's 2 for 2 on my scoreboard.
Oh, Ben's got more than these two video game soundtracks! You should listen to some of the other complete albums. I really like the curiosity shop one.
At the moment, he's doing the Soundtrack for Subnautica: Below Zero.
Nay, its solid platnium
*Puts on music for background noise when working.* "Darn, now I want to play Into The Breach". *Proceeds to download Into The Breach, play it and get no work done.*
Literally me 15 minutes ago
@@artkash38 same, im buying the game rn
Old war machines, the greatest song and will permanently send shivers down my spine
When the "Cataclysm" track starts, you know it's about to get real. One of the best games I've played in my life. Epic Games gave it to me, I bought it a second time on Switch to feed the addiction.
I bought the physical edition from Limited Run Games on the Switch just so I could have it in my collection, and never open it. Between PC and Mobile (Netflix) I've probably put over 400 hours into this game, I love it so much. So far Subset Games has only released absolute bangers, I can't wait for what they're doing next.
A.C.I.D is for me the best OST. I didn't even play the game but this damn "crescendo + drop" is ascending me right to heaven.
No game since XCOM has made me feel this level of tension. When I dropped into my first fight, I was already spooked by the opening where we see the failed timeline. Then when the towers called out, two stuck out to me. A child calling "Dad, look!" and a dog barking. At that point I realized the full weight of what I was fighting for and what was at stake if I lost. Let's just say I spent a good 5 minutes at least weighing up my tactics before I made a single move every time.
I love the feel of Tension, Power and Strategy that the songs convey, i can't imagine the game with anything else
Reminds me of Fallout mixed with FTL Wait a second *_(Buys the game)_*
It's Titanfall, plus Fallout, plus FTL with a little Stargate.
@@mikkelens There were points in the Stargate TV series that the characters experienced time loops, most notably in the episode, "Window of Opportunity," only Col. O'Neill and Teal'c were aware, as well as the antagonist on P4X-639. I'm assuming that is what the above was referring to, as abandoning the timeline is creating a new window of opportunity for your most experienced commander.
Welcome to the club lol
"Shieldied! Safe at last!" The commander watched as the town burned. He had miscalculated the amount of Vek attacking..the damage the shield could withstand. Abe looked through his options as the power grid started to fail... *Abandon Timeline?*
Man, you can really hear Prunty's favored instruments and styles in Subnautica: Below Zero in this earlier work!
This is a great soundtrack for background work when you are writing / working / gaming / cleaning up.
Literally anything
I used it while tutoring my classmates Perfect for anything
Writing! Right now!
I'm using it during my remote exams, because, you know.
Praise The Rusting Hulks.
BY FAR BEST SQUAD
why smoke weed when you can smoke the vek
@@itzcloudy5672 How about both?
I'm more of a zenith guard myself
Damn I have a good memory. Btw nice Bismarck
Just played ITB for 9 hours straight, and that OST is already one of my favorites. It also has that alien FTL feel but at the same time that chill theme behind it.
It's got a very "This is dire, but take your time and __think__" feel to it
what is FTL
@@luuuuzzz Faster than Light. Check out the OST.
I've never played ITB, I'm just here for Ben Prunty...
Play it bro, you won't regret it
Jokes on you I got it for free on epic games a while ago
This OST is so greatly mixed and mastered. The percussions in particular, are some of the best I have ever heard in an album
God, I love old war machines. Gives me some first-generation Creeper World vibes, and I love it.
a man of culture i see
Old War Machines reminds me of that moment in a story when the heroes find some sort of lost cache of weapons, things that could turn the tide against whatever they're fighting. Very cool and thematic, much like the rest of the soundtrack.
the song is called old war machines it reminds you of finding a lost cache of weapons coincidence? i think not
I'm more akin to believe it's them overlooking that they have sacrificed trillions of lives in many timelines, to save a version where humanity survives.
Rift Riders is my favorite. This game definitely makes you feel like the underdog at first, and I remember the first timeline where I was actually doing pretty damn well, and hearing this noticeably more optimistic and energetic track playing as I upgraded mechs between islands. Definitely made me feel like a good dimension hopping mech team coordinator lol
It makes you feel like the underdog because Pinnaccle is an absolute pain.
Love this game and this OST. Really portrays that you're the strategist and not the mech pilots themselves. It's tense and exciting and stressful, but it always makes you feel like you're looking down over the action
I'm here in 2023 listening to this soundtrack for about the 90,000th time. Prunty, you genius.
21:50, I love it so much and I can't explain why
This came across my recommended screen today in June 2021 and I have never before heard this soundtrack. It is excellent and I love it!
Sometimes it is energetic, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes futuristic, sometimes trance. It is a great OST.
48:16 ACID is so great. That entire island's music is great.
That's why I'm here.
Настолько чувственная и душевная музыка, она делает 50% игры
Она делает 99% игры, остальные 90% делает геймплей и 90% дизайна.
@@Artemich20vЭто как темы планетарных боёв в Космических Рейнджерах 2,играешь только ради них)
this soundtrack is an experience. it's so smooooooth and mesmerizing
Never even heard of this game until five minutes ago, but now I already want to jump in and play!
How’d it go? 😁
The ost is my favorite thing about this game. It's amazing to listen to while working.
The algorithm brought me here, love it. Motivating music to work on projects.
totally, one of my favorite soundtracks to listen to while working on anything really if you want to support the producer (or if you just want to pirate the track with a bit of digging) the bandcamp/bootleg versions of this track are even better than the youtube 128 kbps format
This is the best sound track ever made for a game!
I just love, love so much the transition from "Old Earth" to "Antique Row"
The Wasteland is my favourite, that violin is smashing it, beautiful
I was listening to the OST of The Messenger and when it ended, this started playing automatically. I am not complaining, this is fantastic, absolutely beautiful!
Every time a song ended I said to myself, "that song was awesome, but there's no way the next one is going to be as good" boy was I wrong
This game was one of highlights of 2018, and music from this game is awesome.
I'm so glad I found out about this game
god this soundtrack is so BOSS, TY!
53:49 I always love when final fight music uses version of first song of the game. For example Castlevania 4 did the same.
Thanks for posting this, already perfected the game but it's nice to come back and just remember the music every now and again. Fantastic score, really well done by Subset games.
I was on the fence of buying this game on the Switch and after listening to the ost, I couldn't resist anymore...
I just discovered this game's OST, and I can say I love it. I regularly discover many very great games through music first (Undertale for instance). Hence I just bought this game on Steam :) Thanks for posting this on youtube !
Steam is Garbage - a no-band width pos where many good games go to rot ... I want RimWorld, but refuse to play anything on Steam ... you also do not own a game on Steam - they are stealing from you - while you smile ...
@@spritsfal5088This game is freaking great. Bout it in steam years ago, and again on switch. If you haven’t played it yet, I implore you to do so. This studio is great at intentional design which is something a lot of devs fail at.
07:09 "Old War Machines" is at least partly inspired by the "carol of the bells" Christmas song for sure!
FTL's music was more about the wonders of space. Sure, at times it got serious, like Last Stand, Rockman, Lanius and Mantis, but for the most part there was some level of "I'm in space. This is beautiful." And that was great! There is no whimsy here. This is the end of the world, and we don't have time to remember the good days when people didn't have the Vek wiping out billions. You want a happy feeling? Go play FTL. You want to fight to save the world? Stay right here.
Perfectly describes the OST, I already got that when I heard the menu music (Open a breach) when I first played the game.
To be fair you are fighting to save the galaxy in FTL, I'd say the feeling of The Last Stand is on par with what you feel in ITB most of the time
Well, as i said, some songs do fit that kind of serious feel, including Last Stand. But as a whole, it just doesn't feel the same because the songs are more slow and quiet. Even in combat some songs have a long build up to the serious part, but for the most part they seem more wonder filled and calm to me than serious. But you are entitled to an opinion on the internet, (believe it or not) so feel free to disagree.
You're fighting to save the Federation in FTL, not the galaxy. Other species pretty much don't give a damn about Federation vs Rebels war and for what we know (lore wise), we can't say if we really defend the "good" side of this war ^^
Telendar Good point. I feel like we are the good side in FTL due to our racial inclusion vs the humans only Rebels, but we cannot really say that we are the good guys. At least in ITB it's a bit more clear.
Both game and its music are magnificent.
Title screen music is so good
One of two pristine jewel of Game Soundtrack composer. Andreas Waldof and Ben Prunty. I wish if Ben Prunty and Andreas Waldof work together for Stellaris soundtrack.
Who is Waldof?
@@ethanyeung6216 *EJEM!* He meant "Andreas Waldetoft". I would also add Michael Giacchino.
8:52 best part
Mogwai
Advanced Edition hype!
One of my fav soundtracks, right up there with brigador
I like the orange guys, something about the little jet make me so happy
I don't even know the game but the OST is just... spectacular
This album rocks it! I was pointed to the Celeste sound track and now realize good music is still a thing among indie games.
This music is stunning ❤❤
48:16 Best ost by far, that's why i always choose Detritus as my first island Great game
My current favorite song
I'm more of an Archive guy (because Old War machines 4 life) but Detritus is easily the 2nd best island to go to.
I like to play it last for the same reason
C.U. NextTuesday YES
Archive tracks will never grow old, R.S.T has them heavy beats, pinnacle music is just ass, but Detritus' music is pure synth mix bliss.
Very atmospheric and tense vibes, very fitting
It's so cool and beautiful. thanks for uploading :)
This music makes me feel like i'm saving the world
Archive's music tracks are beautiful. I can listen to 'Relics' on repeat forever.
31:08 is my favorite part on the entire ost.
That lovely chonky boi is so ready to punch those giant bugs into extinction.
This soundtrack is so good for studying ! Guess ill buy the game during these steamsales
hey I got this game on steam sales! best purchase I ever made :)
Came here for Old War Machines track and I'm happy to see it's the most replayed
I appreciate a lot the soundtrack of the game. It is very deep, and keep you focused on what you'll need to do on the turn. I'm very enjoying it while playing the game ! The volcano island OST is the best.
13:40 is THE BEST SOUND EVER
Amazing work !
It's like a cross between FTL and the newer Deus Ex osts. It's so good! :O
As a proud chess player, I am really addicted to this game. The colors, the music, the mass killing, the sacrifice! Also, the diversity of teams and Judoka! I wanted to wait for sale, but honestly, I couldn´t resist and I am proud of it.
That first note at the very start (literally 0:00) always makes me think I'm about to play fallout 4
"Mom, look! " xD
Terrific game, terrific OST. Excellent work, everyone.
I don't even know what is this game about. It came up in my recommended and I love it
Go search up a review. Its a great game, but your probably better off looking at what it is before buying it.
it’s a tiny turn-based strategy game about mechs fighting giant bugs.
43:55 is the official BGM when I'm fighting some hard battles in real life that seems impossible to win
vaguely reminds me of Brink with the way the harmonics and progression is set up, which is btw also a fantastic soundtrack
Intro music is like a tech desert remix of the SSX3 intro theme with a hint of Angels and Demons and Borderlands 2.
DOPE. THANKS FA POSTING
Another comment for the algorithm, because this is honestly one of the best soundtracks I know including movie soundtracks!
WOW - so happy I found this, my playlist keeps recommending crap, this is a gem.
The wasteland always gets me so pumped for some reason, but also a little sad?
this game has really made me have to make tough choices.
ahhhhhhhh this score is so good!
Those echoing piano notes really remind me of Inon Zur's work in Fallout 4.
8:45 best part !!
Thank you i was looking for this part.
Agree
@@Umbrella4117 np :)
How can a soundtrack be relaxing and epic at the same time?
