So what is Broken Lines?

“Broken Lines is a story-driven tactical RPG set in an alternate-history version of World War II. It’s a game about a group of eight soldiers who crash-land behind enemy lines. It’s up to you to lead them home while fending off the enemy and helping them deal with the horrors of war.”-From the Steam Page

Whats the story about?

So it starts with your squad having crash-landed behind enemy lines, in the heart of an alternate history Eastern Europe.Basically with no intel or leadership to support them, these soldiers must fight their way back home before the horrors of war break them and figure it out as they go. Teamwork and strategy is key to certain victory. Each soldier has their own quirky and cool personality, as well as their own ideas on what needs to happen next. Some want to investigate what caused the crash that left them in hostile territory, meanwhile the others want to lay low and wait for rescue. There are even whispers of desertion. So basically you are acting as god, or the “unseen hand” that ends up guiding this ragtag group of soldiers to safety and possible rescue. The choices range from simple to complex, everything affects their future, so its up to you what they do and how they do it.

How does it play?

This games combat system is a tactical RPG turn based system. So when I think turn based, I tend to think in the style of the Final Fantasy series or in the style of the Dragon Quest series. If you ask me I actually like this system better than those; they show you a lot more info that goes into making your decision. This includes the percentage of you/ or the enemy hitting the target; if you are covered enough etc. Also given that every character has their own special skill they bring to the table. This easily makes it a high action intensity game.

Are the characters memorable?

So one of the big things now a days is having memorable characters, and oh boy does this game have it. Each character that comes to the table has their own unique personalities as well as quirks. This easily allows for intriguing game play as well as the witty conversations they have with each other. As this will lead you to having a very fun and memorable time with the game.

Final Thoughts

So to be honest I did not know what to expect when I started this game, but I was nowhere near disappointed with the end result. When i started this game, I got thrown into a amazing strategy game that required me to pay attention to the surroundings and my men. It told me a amazing story with characters I will not be forgetting any time soon. So if I were you, I would pick up this game from this amazing company!

Overall Score: 9.1/10
