   Since your decisions have an impact on the ending, this game has a lot of replayability, definitely a game that you can enjoy many times over.

And then maybe try on hard and experience the other missions and get the ‘good’ ending. It's rather humoristic, so I remember my game from childhood: Commandos. The atmosphere is the same there, while there is alternative universe in Broken Lines, which lets us avoid any historical concerns and debates on who's the WW2 winner is. Recommend everyone who loves turned based tactics!… Expand

   FirstBroken Lines is a story-driven turn-based tactical RPG developed by PortaPlay, The game is set in a twisted version of World War II.
   First thing that got my attention is the games tutorial , one of the best i have seen on this kind of game.
   The story game revolves around 8 soldier that get stranded in a unknown territory with no clue on what there orders are and what they suppose to do.
   The tactigal game is very enjoyable and killing the enemy is very satisfying , broken lines is not trying to emulate other titles like Xcom and the feel and gameplay you get out of this RPG set's it apart from the others in this jeandra.
   
   The weapons you are going to use are not that diverse but they will be enough to enjoi the game, and not filling like something is missing
   The character's you get to play with have very unique personalities making the player to set them apart during the gameplay almost automatically.
   The decisions you make thru out of the gameplay have a impact on the ending of the game so it gaves it more value because of replayability.
   the Aeye in the game is not made out of some mindless bots and you wil find your self more than wants surprised by the decisions and reactions they have in relation with your playing style
   The graphic's are more then decent, whit a unique art stile , great maps and a good soundtrack which contribuie on the immersion.
   That being said, if you are a fan of this jandra, you may want to give this game a chance..… Expand

   Good indie Game. It's a light strategy game where you will command a 4 or 5 man sized squad (from 8 characters to choose from) . Game is basedGood indie Game. It's a light strategy game where you will command a 4 or 5 man sized squad (from 8 characters to choose from) . Game is based on 8 second real time auto paused sessions where you will give a sequences of orders to your troop (like run or use an ability). After a mission you will have to manage a few resources (food, buy and switch weapons, some special objects..not much else), and assign perks to yours soldiers. There are also some dialogues that alter morale, relations and skill of your squad
   The good:
   1) Different missions to choose from that will exclude one- another ...so you will probably finish the game at least two times to see different paths.
   2) Moral and dramatic decisions that are often in the "gray area" so...there is no easy good-guy path
   3) A very pleasant aspect of the game is that there is NO option to save a game during missions or before a path choice...so you can't abuse save-spam to see an outcome beforehand..this will add tension and fun-mistery to the game
   4) Not too long to finish... you will need about 7 hours ..but you will probabily replay it to see other paths and endings. Missions are also short but in a good way so there isn't downtime
   5) Soldiers have their personality.
   6) Mystery (supernatural or sci-fi) and WW2 Mix Well
   The bad:
   1) Combat is somewhat lackuster...very few options and basic A.I.
   2) Rpg and managemen are also basics.
   3) Most parts of the plot are not explained....this give some mystery...but also feel a little disappointed.
   4) Some late game repetitiveness...mostly because point 1 and 2.
   5) Cutscene are very basic...most of the story is narrated through text and still image..it could be better. Maybe buget restrictions.
   
   To sum up a good indie if you can find it at a good price.
   I liked it and I hope for a sequel but with a little more options and things to do.… Expand

   This game is overhyped for real. It has rly average tactical gameplay, which become boring in hour-two. Control on the battlefield is awful.This game is overhyped for real. It has rly average tactical gameplay, which become boring in hour-two. Control on the battlefield is awful. Even though for 3 hours of gameplay i didnt lose any soldier, i always got confused about giving needed orders and to manage movements of my people.
   Management out of battle, which is about camp side, is so boring mechanic. What was the point to add it? To adjust the plot? Well, it didnt help. Characters are not interesting, and voice acting on the level "HMMM" was so annoying.
   I didnt make it to the end because i tired. Its not the game i expected when i read those reviews.… Expand
