Broken Lines

Mechanics

In Broken Lines the action is shown in an isometric view. The driving force behind the game is the task that we undertake. When selecting them, we must that our orders are reflected in the morale of our subordinates. If the decisions made by us do not suit the taste of a soldier (as we will learn from the conversations conducted by the of the unit), his attitude will become weaker and weaker, which in turn may push him to desertion.

We are disturbed by our enemies in our mission. Clashes take place in turn-based mode, with the possibility of planning the movements of all soldiers at the same time and their simultaneous performance. The key to success is, first of all, to develop effective tactics and use the opportunities offered by the environment; soldiers can hide behind the shields ( that some of them get damaged over time) or use camouflage. In addition, their individual combat skills play an important role - while Elliot prefers to act quietly, Raymond prefers to charge his enemies with a battle-cry on his lips, Andrew makes excellent use of heavy weaponry, Rosie does a great job of barrage fire, and Brenda provides her allies with medical help.

Technical aspects

Broken Lines features decent visuals and the player can freely rotate the camera for a better view of the battlefield situation. The game is accompanied by an atmospheric soundtrack.
