Don't think we have a thread for this. Broken Lines is a story-driven tactical RPG set in an alternate-history version of World War II. It’s a game about a group of eight soldiers who crash-land behind enemy lines. It’s up to you to lead them home while fending off the enemy and helping them deal with the horrors of war. Releases Feb 25. And NOT an epic exclusive. It's on steam and GoG
Your squad has crash-landed behind enemy lines, in the heart of an alternate history Eastern Europe. With no intel or leadership to support them, these soldiers must fight their way back home before the horrors of war break them. Teamwork and strategy are paramount… Each soldier has their own personality and ideas on what needs to happen next. Some want to investigate what caused the crash that left them in hostile territory, while others want to lay low and wait for rescue. There are even whispers of desertion. You are the “unseen hand” that guides this ragtag group of soldiers to safety and possible rescue. Whether it’s as simple a choice as to which way to go next, or something as serious as how to engage their mysterious foes, every decision you make is serious and significant. Basically XCOM but in world war II (and other features. Supposedly actions can affect future storyline probably minor choices. I don't think XCOM really had that).
As you can see from the video, when you are in the planning mode and an enemy unit has been detected, moving the soldier’s ghost preview will show a lot of information. You will be able to see the light of sight to the enemy from that position, possible cover (highlighted in white) and the hit chances against each other. Hit Chance Hit chance is affected by several things: Moving while shooting Stress/suppression Having the wounded debuff Standing behind cover Using abilities And a few more that we don’t want to spoil just yet (we don’t want to make it too easy for you!) To make this easier, we have also added a simplified visual guide. When the line of sight line turns green, your soldier has a better chance of hitting the enemy than he does on you - if the line of sight is red, then the enemy has a better chance of hitting you than you hitting him.
Friendly Fire The soldiers are smart, they know that shooting can be dangerous so they will do their best to avoid shooting each other - because yes, we do have friendly fire in this game.
