When using the turn based controls, you have all the time in the world to queue actions for your four man team. To be honest, the way the encounters work is quite refreshingly brilliant. This dual approach makes it feel more like the original Dragon Age: Origins combat. Unlike Xcom though, you have the choice – with a tap of the left bumper – to manually pause the action in order to give instructions to your men, or play out the entire encounter via the live action twin-stick controls. However, as soon as you reach a combat zone, the game goes back to it’s more turn-based nature. In real-time, you roam around a fairly open and sizable playing area, even collecting side quests and directly controlling your squad member (this is where the twin-stick elements come into play). Mission structure is also very different, foregoing the tactical preplanning of the original game and opting for a more live fly-by-wire approach. There are human opponents too, but for the bulk of the game you’ll be putting corpses into the ground for their second time. That’s right: Deadline sees you re-killing the undead. However, seasoned SWAT fans may not be expecting to come from an anti-terror tactical shooter into a zombie slaying experience with twin-stick tendencies. Now, with Xcom, you know you’re going to be blowing away aliens before you’ve even taken the display box to the till. And it’s a very different game.įirst and foremost, I have to bring news which fans of the original may baulk at. It’s well worth a play if you can pick it up – it currently holds the title for rarest physical PS Vita game in the world, with only 1500 copies made.įast forward to 2016 though, and we have the Xbox One version of the sequel: Breach & Clear Deadline. Playing as a SWAT team and taking down the bad guys, it was quite the serious game: You planned out your moves in advance, a little like the original Rainbow 6, and then executed them in simultaneously resolved tactical battles.

A squad based tactical shooter presented from an isometric perspective, feeling similar to a stripped down Xcom, it had you storming buildings and alleyways across a selection of urban locales.

My first experience with Breach & Clear was on the Android platform. Please COMMENT if you down vote - I take the time to create these reviews for this community I'd love your feedback! My reviews are not influenced by general opinions, they do not draw reference to other people’s experiences (unless I’m reviewing couch co-op play), nor are they based on any one particular element rather they are an account of my own experiences, and as a result are entirely subjective – as they should be! I try to be as spoiler-free as possible, but in the interest of providing an honest account, some reveals may be necessary. As with all of my reviews, the verdict below is based purely on my personal time with the game. Please note I play a lot of these games on my 'review' tag, and often before achievements are live.
