This is a perfect victory on Hard using the Rift Walkers. Some specifics:
30k score (no grid damage)
All objectives complete
No pilot or mech deaths
No resists
Rift Walker squad
New profile, so no special pilot at start
The Rift Walkers, being your starting squad, are well-balanced and flexible. Your Prime is capable of significant mayhem and comes with a 2-damage push attack, upgrading to 4, and can punch across the map with Dash. The Artillery Mech is more power-hungry for its upgraded damage, but the projectile is also a push attack. The Cannon Mech, while again power-hungry, also pushes with the basic attack. Being able to push with the entire squad, and having no special equipment taking up item slots, means the Rift Walkers are tough out of the box and highly customizable. They aren't creative in any way, and you'll be dealing with most problems by punching them, but the benefit is they are easy to use, and just about any pilot can find a home with them.
List of all my perfect runs:
Rift Walkers - • Into the Breach: 30k P...
Rusting Hulks - • Into the Breach: 30k P...
Hazardous Mechs - • Into the Breach: 30k P...
Frozen Titans - • Into the Breach: 30k P...
Flame Behemoths - • Into the Breach: 30k P...
Zenith Guard: • Into the Breach: 30k P...
Secret Squad: • Into the Breach: 30k P...
Blitzkrieg: • Into the Breach: 30k P...
Steel Judoka: • Into the Breach: 30k P...
It's like watching a chess player. You carefully place your pieces, mentally drawing out your turn. Then when you find the best possible plan, you execute. It really is fascinating to watch, and hopefully I can pick some of it up!
Thank you! Interesting thing is that I never was very good at Chess. I enjoyed playing it in school a bit, but never really got into it.
TLDR: This game is chess.
That explains why I can't play this game. I suck at chess :/
I thought UA-cam had rules against uploading porn to their website
This isn’t porn, it’s art.
@@shockv100 Seems to me like those bugs are getting fucked tho. =)
@@lucapiemonti9767 god daaaamn
@@shockv100 porn is art
The rules only matter if you get caught
You have no idea how satisfying it is to see backseat-proof gameplay of a game like this.
Thank you!
How can you be sure you're real?
This is amazing and really insightful gameplay. Definetly helped me during my Hard playthrough.
Thanks. I am planning on streaming ITB soon, where I hope to go over different strategies with different squads.
@@soulmata Oh? When?
@@stripedgillette3580 I've never streamed before, so I can't say for sure, but I'm planning on giving it a try in the next few days.
@@stripedgillette3580 First streams happened this week. There's here and on twitch: www.twitch.tv/soulmata
This soothed my soul after watching Northernlion's let's plays.
How come?
@@soulmata I love the Eggman, but his misplays in this game could give someone a brain aneurysm. Your play was absolutely amazing, satisfied my craving for game play footage of this game without me wanting to scream at something lmao.
@@_Jun_C I hate watching people who are so bad it isn’t even enjoyable so I feel you.
LMAO I just found this video after watching NL too
i used to watch him play Isaac. Didnknkw he did this too . .and yeah, i sometimes wanted to yell at my screen watching him, lol.
I find it so incredible how integral the gemini missiles were immediately on the first turn after you purchased and powered them up to max.
Indeed, I'm not sure how he would achieve all this without early Gemini missiles (unless he had acquired Ice generator)
It always feels like the game makes the enemies move in such a way that it synergises with your options perfectly. Maybe the game's really well designed, maybe I'm just lucky.
first impressions: art of war paraphrase: sometimes the best attack is not attacking.
you didn't use all of your moves, but that that was planned
changed first level to impressions because you did it for most of the game
There's a lot of restraint in successful ITB games on Hard. You can't just think about the damage output you're doing, but also the opportunity cost of doing damage without killing or blocking that turn, what might replace the one you killed, and so many other factors. It's a really polished game.
I cannot even beat it on normal
This dude is so good
I am now posting some how to master videos if you want to get good.
watching your moves is like a work of art. The way you evaluate the situations and turn already-good moves into great turns is unbelievable.
Your gameplay is next level man. Thanks for posting this.
I have about 1/3 of my hard mode medals completed and this video influenced me to jump back in.
It gets addicting, for sure. I burned myself out on ITB when doing both streams and 30k runs, but I'm about to get back in.
@@soulmata will you be streaming it? If so, I'm there. 👍
Update. I did it. Just in time for the expansion!
Amazing. I just finished my first 4 island hard and it took me 5 hours. I always thought there's no way I am avoiding damage so I watched this and try to make my own moves, and you showed there's a right answer when I couldn't find it.
I'm glad you liked it. There isn't always a perfect solution, but there usually is. It's just a question of how willing/patient are you at finding it. I've thrown away a few games because I just sat at the screen for too long and got frustrated for sure.
OMG, you are a god in ITB. I must have sank hundreds of hours into this game since launch but I still learnt a lot from watching your perfect runs. Kudos to you! Time for me to get back to ITB!
FWIW I feel it took about 150 hours or so to get really good. I still have less than 400 hours total in ITB.
1:11:43
Darn, that was a perfect opportunity to attack those two Vek with the Gemini missiles if you had some left.
But TBF if I had more, Gemini would be way OP.

soulmata 2. A w w. W. A. A
you gonna do the new dlc teams as well?
@@pallingtontheshrike6374 All of them yup, as soon as I recover from COVID.
@@soulmata cool shit, take your time recovering
This game is indeed one of most insteresting and amazing-designed SLG games in recent years. Your play is definitely insightful! really like it
Justin & Matt (the devs) really hit the nail on the head with ITB. I can't believe it hasn't sold ten times more copies than it has, it is so incredibly well put together. It would fit perfectly in a game study of "this is a borderline perfect game".
This is my go to playlist when I want to watch something without sound
It's hypnothizing
This was insane to watch, I’m just sitting here trying to figure out what I would do or how you are going to get out of the difficult situation you’re in currently. I keep getting blown away by some crazy smart moves I would have never even thought of!! Incredible to watch! I loved every second
I’ve only beaten the game on with rusting hulks on hard so far, it was pretty easy. I like those guys
Another great player is narD who pulls off tricks I'm amazed by.
The speed with which you make your decisions is most impressive
I'm too slow to do actual speedruns, so instead I try for perfect runs.
My #1 takeaway is how valuable blocking new enemies are.
hey I think I know u from school idk
I'm learning so much from this series! I love seeing all your genius moves. I used to never think about environmental effects (like forests that turn into fire and deserts that turn into smoke) but now I'm going to!
I've seen other youtubers play this game but I've never seen ANYONE take it apart as skillfully as this.
Thank you! Another really excellent player is narD, he puts out a new video almost every day, and does a lot of challenge runs.
From this video I learned that blocking emerging Veks with your mechs is a very good strategy!
IMO blocking a Vek is always better than damaging a Vek, and sometimes better than killing one. You have to think about what might replace the one you killed, but aggressive blocking is crucial on Hard difficulty.
I really enjoyed this playthrough. I would like to see another playthrough with a different squad.
I plan to do all of the squads!
Rusting Hulks were done as practice on twitch: www.twitch.tv/soulmata As I actually snag Perfect victories I'll make a playlist specific for those. I was literally 1 grid damage away from a perfect victory with the Rusting Hulks... such a shame.
Thanks for teaching me how to use fire properly in the first few minutes.
I was leaving so many Vek alive because i didn't set a forest on fire
When it doubt, burn it.
I really love how you use fire damage of the forest tiles. That's something I wanna pay more attention to in my next playthrough...
Gotta make the Vek feel nice and cozy.
Had a difficult time with the vek and damn if it isnt nice to see ya demolish them, great job man!
Difficulty can be pretty spastic after island 1, really, especially if you get terrible weapons and are using a more difficult to use squad.
amazing gameplay! blows my mind. the enemies move very fast in their turn. is that a mod that makes the ai turn faster?
No mods, it's a gameplay setting you can configure for how long the AI takes to move.
This game needs PvP...Omg the depth with the random map generarion
I actually talked to my friend about doing a "race" sort of, where we start a new game and share the save, then go head to head in that game on split screen over twitch.
this whole video scratches such an itch.
16:14 was just so pretty and im just getting started!!
I'll be doing the advanced edition when it drops in... 11 days!
Your content is amazing! Keep up the great work! I'm sure one day you will get all of the recognition you deserve.
thanks
i only have 15 hours played, getting frustrated, decided to watch a good player who plays well.
I think the biggest things i learned from this are
1 you can undo moves, but not attacks
2 you can do all your moves first before committing to any attacks.
3 blocking spawns is essential
4 you can repair your mechs as an action.
5 smoke bombs are clutch.
6 sometimes you have to ignore the psion to stop another enemy first. .
Despite being a 1-time use, Smoke is so good - because it's a hard CC with unlimited range that's also AoE. That is very powerful, and the AI is also then denied the same tiles it was on for a repeat attack. You have to use it wisely, but when you use it well, it can make or break the run.
@@soulmata well, just from watching you play, i went from losing every run to winning almost every run. at least on "normal" difficulty. . lol
Really great run. Smoke Bomb seems way too overpowered given that it requires no Power Cores and can be used infinitely. Definitely a staple skill for crowd control.
Weapons are pretty spastic in their efficacy. You have things like Ice Generator that are just ridiculously OP, but the Fire Beam is borderline pointless. Many have niche uses, but there's not really a consistency.
1:41:40 Does losing that one building near to the end make it not perfect anymore?
I thought that too, but I guess he never specifically said no grid damage. Ultimately I'm not sure, but aside from that one hit he still pretty much handled this level flawlessly.
It's only "Not perfect" if you loose civilians. Power Pylons don't have people in them (or AI's Pinacle...).
should still be couunted as imperfect since grid power is lost from destroyed pylons.
Once you are in the hive mission, there's no more score to be lost from grid damage. Story-wise, the hive gets blown up by the bomb anyway, so all those pylons are going up no matter what. Letting some die for the cause seems reasonable.
Seems reasonable according to narrative, yes; however a core mechanic is the power grid.
The developers specifically made critical failure depemdent on losing them,
so making perfection dependent on them is also reasonable.
Wow man, some of these plays are iq200, its like watching AI playing. Insanely good job mate !
I eat so much processed food I might as well be artificial.
sick run! i love this game. easily in my top 5 games of all time.
Thank you!
You are amazing man, thank you for such insightfull and enjoyable video!
Thank you.
Amazing how you play and i wish i could play like that but i suck so hard at this game even on easy mode. I love this game
Best Into The Breach video I've found, thank you.
Thank you!
The impressive part is actually the decision making speed.
I feel rather slow compared to others like narD.
Well done mate, good show of skill and knowledge to do this PERFECTLY.
Thanks. There are a few other really great runners, namely narD, who put me to shame.
Maaan! I knew you would take three power cores versus some weapon. What took you so long? :)
Sometimes I need to think about it.
At the Volcanic Hive, you took 2 Grid Damage.
That was past the point at which score can go down. No civs can die in the hive mission so it's fine to let grid take damage there.
@@soulmata Ah, I see. Fair point.
9:07
I do not understand Vek moves like this one (regular Scorpion here). Sometimes they just back off from fine offensive positions and do nothing.
It's probably all in the lore, right - they truly are mindless, and just randomly go after objectives, and have some small chance to do nothing.
If you look at its movement options at 9:07, you'll notice something: it's only offensive option is to attack the train while blocking it's ally spawn. It probably prioritizes allowing its ally to spawn over attacking the train
@@soulmata they are not mindless, they are simple-minded. That is why the don't attack rogue robots, they know that the foe of their foe is their friend. Also they have a general level of care that animals also share,they won't go out of their way to block an ally's way.
Think of them being a hive mind but being unable to share information on the fly. They are the same being with different vessels, there is no reason to hurt yourself and all you know about this planet is that mechs = bad and no building = no mech. (also the rogue robot thing I said before)
@@TheSast Suffer not the Xeno to live.
Ive bounced off this game multiple times over the years but im really determined to play through it since ive heard its great. Hopefully after watching this video some of that master-level skill will rub off on me lol.
There's also a great discord channel for ITB where you can talk strategy.
Excellently done. I'd like to think I learned a few things watching.
Thank you!
i’m gonna bingewatching all your playthrough rn lollll soo goood
I've done all the base squads as of this week. Next will be modded squads.
On the off chance you're still interested in making ItB vids and reading comments, are you going to make new ones involving the Advanced Edition?
Yup, I plan to make 30k vids for all the new squads.
Finally unlocked all the islands but ive been struggling. Meticulously watching this vid is helping me a lot! I have to watch it at 0.5 speed though. I also like pausing before your next move and thinking what mine would be to see how well they match.
Good luck!
Hah. Didn't know this game. Obviously a homage to Pacific Rim in so many ways
Wow man you just obliterated the vek 👏👏👏 thx a lot for upload, very satisfying👍 😁😊
Glad you liked it!
I wanna know why the tank abstained from attacking at 53:56
The centipede was armored, and the attack preview was 0-damage. Ergo attacking or not attacking would have had the same outcome.
Damn, you make it look easy!
Ha, thanks. There's a few really good players in the ITB discord you can join. The game actually isn't that hard once you focus on the mechanics. You can see my Mastering videos if you're interested on breaking it down: ua-cam.com/video/LjqMDM4fwOU/v-deo.html
So much bashing! Well done!!
And there will be more to come.
OMG, this is so impressive. I would never be so swift.
Thank you!
Combat Mech be like - "I CAST FIST"
When you can punch holes in buildings, who needs strategy?
You are a legend!
Does the grid damage at the last level not count?
Grid damage during the hive fight doesn't impact score.
@@soulmata it was the population that counts right? Not the grid?
I must have tried this over a hundred times now. How many attempts did it take you?
Rift Walkers is probably about 1 in 6 to 1 in 8 attempts if you're starting with the stock pilot. If you start with an OP pilot you like Mafan you can make it maybe 1 in 4 times, I'm guessing.
@@soulmata Thx.
What a masterful run!😱
i've been trying to do this for a while now and i just got to the last boss on the 4th island before 1 single fucking building got destroyed, i'm so mad rn :(
It happens sometimes. I had a 30k victory in sight once and took grid damage on the last mission of the 4th island. Infuriating.
@@soulmata same shit happened to me. last island, last TURN, ONE building made it all go away... great game and great skill.
Man, that's a strategy! Good job indeed!
Thank you!
i didnt even know i could repair until now
That would certainly help your efforts!
if only you used the artillery mech on 1C at 1:41:20
Great playthrough thought, very good!
I might redo all of them with AI pilots and stock weapons only!
Big free lesson here.
Nothing's free!
This is next level play you can do more than other think
Check on narD, he is insanely good.
How did you get to heal your artillery unit in the first battle. Sorry noob at this game atm
All Mechs can repair instead of taking another action any turn.
Amazing run! But you did take 2 grid damage on 1:41:40. It doesn't affect score but still. Close to perfect.
In the discord people have argued whether that counts, because it doesn't kill civilians or lower score, so some people consider it acceptable to use grid there defensively. FWIW, in my 30k videos, this and Zenith are the only ones where grid in the end stage is damaged.
Wow i have never won hard mode playing the nintendo switch using rift walkers. Nonetheless you got a perfect victory! Great content!
Rift Walkers can be difficult to get a 30k with but they are an all around good balanced squad, so keep trying. If you find it too hard, Rusting Hulks I find to be even easier, and Blitzkrieg is probably the easiest of all.
Thanks, I finally did it! I got 30k on them walkers. Im still playing into the breach until now, clocking 400 hours on switch. Easily my top 3 tactical game all-time!
Really helpful for my let’s play - thanks.
Did you ever upload your lets play?
01:42:39 Those here dont count?
Do you think there were any misplays?
Oh for sure, lots. There are many ways you can get to a 30k, some of them more optimal than others.
this is fucking incredible
Thank you!
perfectly balanced
There are definitely some OP items available... particularly the Ice Generator. It's basically an I Win button.
Amazing game! Amazing gameplay! I just love this game. Can someone recommend me other good games of this genre?
Not a whole lot like ITB exists. I'd obviously suggest FTL, from the same dev, but after that, XCOM.
Into the Breach is one-of-a-kind. Final Fantasy Tactics is very good but it's not anywhere near as chess-like.
Amazing!
Thanks!
Look at this chad
What's a chad?
how do you start with upgraded dmg?
In this particular run I didn't, everything is completely a blank slate. However on successive runs you can bring 1 pilot back with you, and that pilot can have various things, including a reactor or damage boost.
No "don't destroy this explosive Vek" plays?
I'm not sure I understand what you mean?
@@soulmata Excuse me, let me explain. There is now an objective that says "Don't destroy this explosive Vek". Maybe it wasn't a thing back then? I noticed that some minor rules had been updated since then.
@@sashamc309 that is an objective yes. I tend to avoid those missions though.
holy great
Thank you
Bravo!
thanks!
I was gonna make fun of you cause a perfect run with this squad isn't even difficult...
But then I saw you have a perfect run for the Hazardous Mechs, so I'm just gonna go watch that instead. That's way more impressive.
I've uploaded all except Steel Judoka and Secret Squad. I'll probably upload Secret Squad this week.
He did lost a power on the last mission top side. And it could have been avoided. Feels like he got tired by that time or nerveous
The grid in the last mission is a special case that doesn't impact your score at all. It could have been avoided, yes. There are no civilians in them, so you can lose as many as you want and you still get a perfect score, so long as you don't lose them all.
you can't even win without losing one pylon, you should do this run all over again 😀
Honestly, beatiful gameplay,
Keep up the good work
A few people called that one... honestly, I'm always fine losing grid in the hive mission since it doesn't impact score at all, but what annoys me is I totally could have avoided the grid loss there.
Ur big Brain. Geez
Just a regular brain but on repeat.
@@soulmata what?
I can’t even survive 1 island in normal. Sad:(
Start with easy, and unlock Rusting Hulks, they were how I got my first 30k and were easier to use than Rift Walkers.
just tried that
until a time pod on a falling ground ended it (rift walkers)
Although rare, sometimes Vek can trample a pod too.
I'm struggling on easy. I guess I just suck..
You only suck if you don't have fun. It's a game first a foremost, so what matters is that you enjoy it.
@@soulmata It's really fun but I think it's tough as nails. Wish I had your skills.
@@Nephalen If you aren't already, the ITB discord is a great resource for live tips. A lot of really good players there. Not a lot of streams for ITB though.
Гениально)
Привет из России)
Yup.
can you made even FTL???
I'm not as good at FTL, well I mean I can be good at it but since I spend most of the time paused, and the real Gs for FTL all play without pausing, it's not as fun to watch.
nice
nice
who is here after playing netflix version too i cant even beat on normal
it says 0 GRID damage, but its not so dreamy all along. been there, tried many times, but can't deliver :(
It does NOT say 0 grid damage. If you used the power of your human eyes you would quite clearly it says no grid RESISTS. There is no loss of score from grid damage in Hive. However, I've got literally dozens of no grid damage 30k and 40k videos if that somehow makes the entire run worthless. Try actually reading first before making stupid comments. And if none of that is good enough for you, go make your own videos.
@@soulmata chilled mate. I really appreciate your run, in fact I'm enjoying too. Those are some critical moment where you do great mate. Chil, Chill, Chill
@@soulmata it just said PERFECT, though. yes after a carefull look out it didnt said 0 GRID Damage, but 0 GRID RESIST LOL. Damn those Perfect title, and after watching all along for 1 hr just got me drowned on my own imagination.
@@masterdata2620 I'm a little shitfaced, I apologize. It's all good.
Good riddance to all +grid def pilots, enjoy unemployment.
Seriously. Get a job, pilots.
You're an absolute wizard but Sir please use a hotkey, click to attack everytime why?
It's because I only have 1 hand.
bro how can you think so fast?
Mostly just practice! But also I have been into turn based strategy games since I was a child, and just always play them a lot. Lately I'm even teaching my daughter to play TBS too.
This is amazing stuff. They made a free update bro. Check it out
Will do, as soon as I recover from COVID. I've been waiting to play until I can actually enjoy it.
New patch dropped come back pls
As soon as I recover from this nightmare COVID infection, I'll be streaming and recording again.
@@soulmata thats horrible, hope you feel better quickly
This shit is on easy.
I'm not sure what you mean. There are 3 difficulty settings: Easy, Normal, & Hard. This is Hard difficulty.
@@soulmata The spawn rate seems off.
@@cesarrodriguez8893 Nope. It's exactly as it is supposed to be. This is the unmodded game on Hard difficulty. If you think the spawn rate is off, you should play more. How many Vek can appear each turn is statically set in the code and you can see all the details here: www.reddit.com/r/IntoTheBreach/comments/d88qsn/discussion_formulas_for_how_many_vek_emerge_from/
