Into the Breach
The remnants of human civilization are threatened by gigantic creatures breeding beneath the earth. You must control powerful mechs from the future to hold off this alien threat. Each attempt to save the world presents a new randomly generated challenge in this turn-based strategy game from the makers of FTL. Defend the Cities: Civilian buildings power your mechs. Defend them from the Vek and watch your fire! Perfect Your Strategy: All enemy attacks are telegraphed in minimalistic, turn-based combat. Analyze your opponent's attack and come up with the perfect counter every turn. Build the Ultimate Mech: Find powerful new weapons and unique pilots as you battle the Vek infestation across Corporate-Nation islands. Another Chance: Failure is not an option. When you are defeated, send help back through time to save another timeline!

This could very well be the perfect game for middle-aged men.
* Doesn't require reflexes, just some brain teasers.
* Not that long, can finish it in a lunch break. Can even cut it short if you're in a hurry.
* Never gets boring, lots of ways to spice it up.
* Strategy! Turn based, no less.

Very good. It's like if Tetris and chess had a baby that hates you.

It's like chess but like easier cause you have 3 pieces only.
It's better than chess because each round is randomly generated so you can't memorize stuff and each time you have to think fresh.
It's worse than chess because, being RNG based sometimes you just get more lucky and sometimes less (so it's not completely and inhumanly fair unlike chess).
Overall I think this is a masterpiece puzzle game that couldn't have been done in the form of a board game because of its randomly made up maps.

Fun game. I'm a middle aged man. I like turn based because it means I can go potty at any time.

I can't believe I played this over 200 hours and never reviewed it.
Into the Breach is quite simply the best turn-based tactical roguelike of all time, if not one of the best roguelikes of all time, if not one of the best video games of all time, period. If you have any interest in turn-based games and/or roguelikes you have to play it. You just have to. If money is an object, note that you can get the mobile version free if you subscribe to Netflix.
