Your squad has landed behind enemy lines, in the heart of an alternate history of Eastern Europe. Without intelligence or leadership to support them, these soldiers must fight back home before the horrors of war destroy them. Teamwork and strategy are key... Each soldier has their own personality and ideas about what needs to happen next. Some want to investigate what caused the accident that left them in hostile territory, while others want to stay quiet and wait for rescue. There are even whispers of desertion. You are the “invisible hand” that guides this ragtag group of soldiers to safety and possible rescue. Whether it's a simple choice about which path to follow, or something as serious as engaging your mysterious enemies, every decision you make is serious and meaningful. Broken Lines combines tactical RPG with story-driven gameplay. As your soldiers struggle with the mental strain of war, you will need to command them in combat – will they avoid the enemy or face their enemies? Combat is similar to that of a turn-based tactical RPG, but soldiers move only when the action phase begins. However, when new enemies and dangers appear, the game pauses to allow you to plan your reaction to this new change. Will you continue to advance or retreat and seek cover? The choices you make will shape the story to your liking, leading to a different campaign ending. Choose wisely, as your progression in the game will affect not only the soldiers you command, but also an entire region and everyone who lives here. But you must also keep in mind that your soldiers have their own opinion about what is good for the squad, so you must maintain a balance between what you want them to do and what is good to keep the squad in a good mood. “Victory at all costs, victory despite all terror, victory no matter how long and difficult the road is; because without victory there is no survival. ” – Winston Churchill
