If you successfully conjure a beta build from the summoning pool, the catch is that you’ll need to actually do your duty and send in feedback before you can play all of it. “The full game is ready to test now, but we’re doing things a little differently this time,“reads a Steam post from Francis. “If you get an invite, you’ll first get access to the first 75% of the campaign. We’ll then wait to see who fills in their feedback forms on what they’ve played, and periodically invite those folks into a beta that includes the game’s final act.
“Most testers don’t give feedback, so we just wanna make sure we don’t give the full game to too many people without getting what we need in return,” the post adds.
Tactical Breach Wizards is very much about experimenting with the tools - you can rewind each level as much as you’d like. But it’s not just about optimising yourstrategy. There’s a relatively robust-sounding, eight hour story campaign in which you piece together the doings of an evil paramilitary corporation. Between missions, you’ll make dialogue choices and upgrade your team of arcane home-invaders. It’s all played for laughs, as with the developers' previousHeat SignatureandGunpoint: foes include “the elder Shrublords of the Druid Mafia, and the Rushwater Police Department’s rising star: The Traffic Warlock.”
Sound appealing? Speaking as a fan of wizards,Into The BreachandRainbow Six: Siege, I am keen. I loved Heat Signature, which Brendydescribed as a great space-heist simulator, and also enjoyed Francis’s work as a journomancer. His diary pieces about Galactic Civilizations are treasured tomes indeed. Anyway, you can sign up for the betahere. Best make haste: at the time of writing, around 500 slots have already been given away.
