Broken Lines - Making our way to the Press

Our weekly news blast is back, bringing you all the latest from the world of Broken Lines!

Broken Lines Tip of the Week

Did you know that if you play Broken Lines in specific difficulty modes, permadeath is a feature that you will have to watch out for?

We have three different difficulty modes: easy, normal, and hard. If you play normal and hard mode, permadeath is enabled.

In normal mode, every unit can be revived once per game day, the first time that they go down they can be revived, however, the second time will result in a permanent death

if they die a second time, then you’ve lost that unit for good.

Can you guess what hard mode means? If you guessed that it means one death results in permadeath, then you’re right!

Do keep in mind that this is not the only way to lose units, if you’re not careful, the decisions made in-game can cause them to desert. We’ll have more on that next week!

Beta Bug Hunting

This week’s featured bug was a very strange one.

One of the squad members decided to lie flat on the ground and try to sneak up on a group of enemies in that position.

Clearly startled by such an insane tactic, one of the soldiers decided that he had enough and slowly backed away!
