Hooded Horse is excited to announce that it’s publishing the upcoming roguelite deck-building game Breachway, expanding its roster of engaging sci-fi games and raising the overall portfolio of quality indie games to 18. Hooded Horse will assist developer Edgeflow Studio in bringing this brilliant space strategy game to PC via Steam in 2023.
Explore a procedurally-generated galaxy in this turn-based tactical game mixed with a strong dose of deck-building. Build your loadout from an array of different ships, modules, even crew, and experiment with powerful card combinations to meet any challenge. As you level up your modules, you can unlock new cards to take into future battles.
Breachway doesn’t stop there either – there are many ways you can attack your opponents, from targeting individual hardpoints, to causing the enemy ship to overheat, or simply using a good ol’ fashioned missile barrage. You will need to make snap decisions based on what’s in front of you.
“During our search for a publisher, we explored several options,” says Victor Rubinstein, Lead Designer on Breachway. “None of them fully met our criteria. Hooded Horse’s openness, trust, ease of communication, and genuine passion for games immediately shone through , and we knew we found the partner we were looking for.”
