What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We love considering and implementing ideas from players, and we will use Early Access to both expand and improve the game. Early Access provides a great way of involving players in the development process, and we are looking forward to working with the community to make a better game together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We might remain in Early Access for around a year, but that might change depending on how the design develops with player feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of the game is planned to have additional content influenced by community feedback during Early Access, however, the structure and major mechanics of the game are already present now. We also plan to conduct additional polishing, balancing, and bug fixing during the Early Access period.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and has all the content and features described on the store page.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We might increase the price during the Early Access period as additional content and features are added.”

Reviews

“Breachway is a stellar space deckbuilder with a cosmic scope.”
Destructoid

“Take the ship-building of No Man’s Sky and Starfield, add in the tactical combat and roguelike structure of FTL, and supplement it with a card system reminiscent of Slay the Spire or the recently released Zet Zillions, and you have Breachway.”
PCGamesN

“Breachway is a more serious piece of storytelling, for people who want to lose themselves in the space opera.”
Rock Paper Shotgun

About This Game

Captain – assemble your crew, load out your ship, and prepare to engage in intense turn-based battles while navigating through the galaxy. Acquire more powerful tools of the trade over multiple runs as you manage relationships across the many factions of Breachway – from the Militarist Solarii to the technologically inclined Numen, there are many friends and foes to be found among the stars as you shoot, sneak, and smuggle across the galaxy.

Choose from a multitude of ship chassis and then kit your selection out with a variety of weapon systems, defensive upgrades, and internal modules. Find unique synergies between your options as each choice comes with an associated set of cards for your deck, with additional cards and upgrades unlocked at your discretion after each victorious encounter – will you dodge dangerous regions, or face them head-on in the hopes of acquiring powerful new options for the journey ahead?.

Gather crew to operate your equipment, managing their morale and taking advantage of their unique skills and the benefits they provide your outfit, as well as their relationships with the factions you might encounter. But be warned, crew members have their own personalities and allegiances to remain mindful of.

Seek out upgrades and new crew members as you traverse the galaxy – unexpected equipment combinations will provide powerful card synergies, each with their own risks and rewards.

Explore diverse tactical options as you engage in turn-based card battles where resource management, strategic foresight, and adaptive thinking will determine the victor.

Your sensors will pick up on enemy activity, letting you know what to expect when they strike. Calculate cooldown times and strategize around enemy equipment that poses the greatest threat to you in upcoming turns. Will you prioritize disabling specific equipment with focused fire, or will you instead rely on using defensive countermeasures to stand your ground as you burn past enemy shields and punch through their hulls? Not all equipment is created equal, and your options are determined by the unique capabilities of your loadout, and the resulting cards at hand.

The right order of operations can be the difference between a powerful alpha strike that obliterates a weaker ship, or an impenetrable defensive stack that buys you more time to chip away at a tough adversary. Hack enemy equipment, overheat their ships, overwhelm their point defense systems, and devise unique combinations with which to dominate space warfare.

Seek out the mysterious Signal as you carve your own unique path through the tense narrative encounters of Breachway. If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again – each run improves your odds of success with better knowledge and tools, while the varied events will send you down unexpected journeys full of twists and turns keeping each run fresh.

Engage with pirates and converse with members of four unique factions that might help or hinder you in various ways. Grapple with morally gray decisions as you come across people spread throughout the systems, coloring how the world looks at you and your crew.

The right faction relationships, properly managed, can unlock access to extremely powerful arsenals, but your ties with each of the factions will determine how your story unfolds – will you be swayed by the genetically enhanced Starkin and their desire for unity by any means necessary, or does the independence of the Free Roamers call to you instead?

Breachway puts you in charge of a rag-tag crew piloting a lone warship on a grand adventure – strategize and synergize your way on each run through the galaxy.
