Broken Lines - Happy New Year
In Broken Lines, the soldiers are aware of their surroundings and so will automatically respond to nearby threats. This means that when playing, you will only need to give interesting strategic commands such as where to move, and when/where to use a special ability (like throwing a grenade). With the orders submitted, you hit play and watch as the squad carries out your orders, while reacting to threats. [previewyoutube=GLdrrojMD-M;full][/previewyoutube]
For those of you that enjoy reading, we recently published a dev blog over on IndieDB, this will be the first of many, so be sure to check it out on our IndieDB page.
"PortaPlay considers Broken Lines a war noir in some respects, focusing on the mental states of the soldiers [...] Its an intriguing setup, and Im eager to give it a look-see later this year" - Jason Wilson, Venture Beat Check out the full interview here
We are looking for beta testers to play through the game, find bugs and tell us what you feel needs improving. If you think you are up to the task, sign up here for a chance to get into the beta program! Please note, signing up does not guarantee a beta position as the spaces are limited. Furthermore, if you want to talk to the developers, get to know the other people playing Broken Lines, or simply want to learn more about the game, join us on Discord today!
As were reaching the end of the development process for Broken Lines (were mainly sorting out bugs now) weve begun to put together a few developer diary videos where we talk about the various mechanics of the game. Other than giving you a good look at what the game plays like, these videos will help you understand how the game works, and give you the edge that you need if you want to challenge the games harder modes! Check them out in our YouTube Channel. And thats it for this weeks news blast, we hope that youve enjoyed it!

The squad has crash-landed behind enemy lines, in the heart of Eastern Europe. With no officers, no leaders, and no intel, they must find an unbreakable resolve if they are to survive.
But with only their training and instincts to guide them, survival becomes a difficult goal. First of all, they need to learn to work together to have any hope of coping with the challenges ahead.
Each survivor has their own views on what to do, and their own principles on what is acceptable. Some want to investigate what caused their crash, others want to stay low and avoid detection by the enemy. There are even whispers of desertion.
It is your task to be the unseeing hand that will guide this ragtag group of soldiers through their struggles. Make your decisions wisely, for they will have real consequences on the fates of the survivors.
- Tactical RPG with diverse characters. Experience the story through the eyes of each soldier as they fight for survival in an alternative WW2 setting.
- Turn-based planning with simultaneous execution (WeGo turn-based gameplay)
- Authentic tactical choices: suppression, destructible cover, realistic ballistics, and camouflage are at your disposal.
- Rogue-like campaign structured with different narrative paths, resources, and permadeath.
- A challenge for even the most experienced gamer. A far-reaching moral system means that the soldiers may desert at any moment if you prove to be incompetent.
- An emotional story, tense atmosphere, and multiple endings based on the decisions that you make.
“Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may
be; for without victory, there is no survival.”
― Winston Churchill
