    When I watched the trailer I got really excited about the game, and it was really cheap which is always awesome. I cant complain about the intense action in the game that is really enjoyable and the action cover system is terrific and adds a special touch to the game since you don't really see this in many fps games.

I cant complain about the intense action in the game that is really enjoyable and the action cover system is terrific and adds a special touch to the game since you don't really see this in many fps games. The ability to decide which model you want for a specific class was pretty fun, but I was kind of disappointed about the fact that it was few models to choose between (I love games where you can customize the character, even if it is to a certain degree). And the destructable environment was just awesome. Some downsides were the fact that it wasn't too many servers with a good ping (although my location might play a role in this since I live in Sweden and the servers might be located across the Atlantic) which led to me not being able to play as much as I want to. One thing that almost made me give up on the game was the mouse smoothing, it gave me the feeling of being "Bambi on ice", but I learned how to disable this and this improved my game experience alot. In short:

    This game is worth your money since its cheap and it delivers most of the things that those expensive war games does, such as Call of Duty and Battlefield. And it will work on most computers!    … Expand

    First of all i want to say that breach is really funny to play. Most i like (and what i think is the only reason i bought it) is the fully destructible environment which makes the game more realistic and funny. The graphics are very nice (not up to date but nice) and at all the quality is very good.

    The game play could be better in some point but at least it's very realistic (i hate very unrealistic games)
    but sometimes i got very angry because i shot on somebodies head (who was behind a stone) and instead of him i hit the stone. A big pro is that you can use active-cover and shot without leaving it.
    Now to the interface: The interface isn't made for PC but rather for xbox. There are NO hot keys like escape to get back. You have to click all time -.- !!! It's quite good that you can unlock weapons and other stuff but this is nothing new (CoD, BF, ...). There aren't very much weapons and other but instead you can put more than one extra on a weapon( most of time). What me made disappointed was that there were only 5 maps( I hope they patch more next time).
    At least to the bugs: Sometimes the game shut down WHILE PLAYING or by loading. When the server changes the map while you are loading it won't finish loading and you have to restart (ALT+F4). There are no dedicated servers this time so many servers are lagging.

    Result: I can recommend the for players which love realistic games with destructable environment I can't recommend this game for players which hate camper, lagging servers and very very much bugs (I hope it will be repaired -.- )

    Hope i helped you ;)    … Expand

    This game had a lot of potential and the fact that it came from an indie team make it more alluring to me. Overall Breach is a good game that suffers in a few areas.

Overall Breach is a good game that suffers in a few areas. The good - I love the concept of active cover. It was brilliantly done in this game and was a definite game changer for the strategy. The destructible buildings were very well done. It is just cool to be able to knock out a single brick in a wall to snipe from. The map were very fun and had plenty of choke points that could be exploited, but that could also be circumvented. The bad - low player based is what killed this game. No matter how good or bad a game is, without players, there simply isn't a game. The sounds for the guns in this game were just terrible. It is obvious that the persons responsible for sounds have never fired a gun in their life. Hit detection needs some work. While not horrible, it was often off too much to be considered accurate. I did like the game, but unfortunately the player base isn't there. Sad.… Expand

    literally one of the worst FPS's that I have EVER played. Everyone keeps saying all this crap about it being played for years to come but as of this moment not a single soul is playing it ( checked server list and player count). It's online play is laggy, controls are chunky and its graphics and destruction are weak.

I bought this game because it looked fun and I liked the base concept. After giving it some play time the only good thing I can find about it is the base concept. It was a great idea, just not well done.… Expand

    I must say that for everything it is, it's fun, but I don't think it's $12 or $15 worth of fun. I enjoy playing it, but putting it next to something like Monday Night Combat which is of equal value, it just doesn't stand up. No dedicated servers (AFAIK), one CTD, multiple load lock-ups (Alt+F4), and a menu layout designed for a console and never fixed during the port all weigh this gameI must say that for everything it is, it's fun, but I don't think it's $12 or $15 worth of fun.

No dedicated servers (AFAIK), one CTD, multiple load lock-ups (Alt+F4), and a menu layout designed for a console and never fixed during the port all weigh this game down and make it a shadow of what it could have been. The fully destructible environments are just that, and as such many RPGs are supplied to players, but most of these are just wasted on one unit kills and CQC combat. For being so realistic, the developers seemed to have forgotten that almost all explosive projectiles have a minimum distance they must travel before they are armed. All in all, just wait for this guy to go on sale for %50 off before you make your move (or possibly an indie pack), and stick with MNC if you're looking for something under $20 to play.… Expand

    This game gave me some hope in the modern fps industry. Well it screwes up pretty bad.

So the mechanics and the game were quite solid, even though the game was lacking stunning visuals like other games of the genre. And what you could play after the release was something that reminded me more of a beta then anything else. Also there were lack issues and it took kind of forever to unlock new weapons and modifications. greatest problem was the connectivity. Even dedicated servers were lagging like crazy. The feature to destroy buildings was pretty nice but not crucial to your success in any way. Also there bugs which just left some parts of the Buildings hanging in the air, where es the rest of the bulding was neraly destroyed. Also the community died out by now, so you won t find anyone to play with you. A sad example of how badly a good idea can crash and burn.… Expand

    Buy it if you want to see Six Days in Fallujah someday. Though donating to Atomic Games directly would be less painful. [Apr 2011, p.71]

    Breach combines most of the achievements across the genre in one very budget package. [Mar 2011, p.112]

    Glitches can be fixed, but no patch can make Breach a deeper game. It takes a day or two to study it inside out, and come to a realization that you have wasted 15 dollars.
