About the Game

Break Through is a roguelite top-down auto-battler shooter where you command a squad of robots to break through humanity’s defense line.

Equip powerful gear, combine hex cores to activate set effects, and fight your way through ever-changing battlefields.

Equipment & Core Systems

  • Enhance your robots’ abilities with gear obtained during battle.
    Mix and match active, passive, and weapon equipment to define your combat style, and enjoy crafting a new build every run.

  • Attach cores to the vertices of a hexagonal slot to strengthen your heroes.
    When identical cores form lines, triangles, or hexagons, set effects are activated—one clever placement can completely turn the tide of battle.

Perk Tree

  • All gear resets after each run, but your progress does not end there.
    Use the trait points you’ve earned to unlock permanent nodes in the Perk Tree, and build an even stronger squad for the next challenge.

Events

  • Beyond combat, you’ll encounter shops, random events, and critical choices. Each decision between risk and reward will shape the destiny of your squad.

Store

  • Use credits earned from battles to purchase equipment in the shop and complete powerful synergy combinations.
