Sci-fi roguelike Breachway has just deployed its biggest update since launching into Early Access last September.
The update targets everything from cards to ship setup and meta-progression. Some of the highlights include expanded progression with hours of new gameplay, a new tier system for cards and equipment, and the ability to customise your setup by selecting equipment you want to take with you at the start of a run. You can find the full patch notes for the update here.
Edgeflow Studio is also working on an initial roadmap for 2025, which we imagine we will see pretty soon, given that we’re in May.
Breachway is a deckbuilding sci-fi roguelike where ship management and crew upgrades are key to survival. Its cel-shaded look is striking, and there’s plenty of depth, with players customising their spacecraft, crew, and deck to face an increasingly dangerous universe.
You can find the game’s official Early Access trailer below:
