The story isn’t exactly award-winning and you’ll likely pay very little attention to its standard zombie fare, but it’s a good backdrop for the tense gameplay, as it leaves your team in an infested city, stranded after their helicopter crashes.
#BREACH AND CLEAR DEADLINE IS FUN HOW TO#
This isn’t exactly novel, all games have tutorials, right? But Breach & Clear: Deadline’s tutorial actually takes place within the story, introducing the infected outbreak while teaching you how to play the game. Starting the game for the first time you can take part in a short tutorial, that teaches you all the basics you’ll need to get through the game. That said, pausing isn’t a guarantee that you won’t still be panicking. You can even do all this in real-time if you’re used to RTS games, but pausing is a godsend for those of us reduced to panicking when everything inevitably starts going wrong. In this mode you can use the space bar (or gamepad equivalent button) to pause time, which is where it becomes more XCOM in nature, and unpause to put any planned actions into motion. It’s worth noting that this tactical mode can be used at any point even between missions, if you wish. When outside of mission events you can play the game like a twin-stick shooter, directly controlling a team member (you can have a maximum of four in your team and can switch between members at any point) but when you do reach a mission event, the game switches to its tactical Command Mode and you can start issuing detailed, stackable orders to each team member. The gameplay, while similar in some small ways, is vastly different to the original and offers more open areas and even a gamepad-friendly method of control. Unlike most games that add zombies in DLC or spinoffs, Breach & Clear: Deadline is a totally new game. Then it goes the extra step and moves away from the grounded, military strategy scene and into the zombie apocalypse. Breach & Clear: Deadline does away with the more intimate, detailed planning of its predecessor, opting for a more action-oriented style that brings more of XCOM into play and mixes it with a little Jagged Alliance for good measure. Two years later, Mighty Rabbit Studios returned to Breach & Clear, this time with fellow studio Gun Media. In 2013, Breach & Clear was the continuation of those anti-terror games, mixing the strategy gameplay of SWAT 2 with the action and planning phases of Rainbow Six, all played out in an XCOM-style turn-based game. Then along came Rainbow Six, wherein you could plan each mission down to the finest detail, even if the AI often wandered blindly into the path of enemy gunfire. I spent hours trying (and failing) to resolve hostage situations in its wonderful, strategic world.
