The price for Broken Lines has been announced - $24.99. The best part is, judging by the reaction from our community here on Steam, Twitter, Facebook, and IndieDB, the price is a good one and is fair to everyone!
Steam Game Guides
In the run up to the game’s launch, we’ve been preparing some guides for the game. We currently have two guides published, with more on the way:
A basic game overview
An in-depth combat system explanation
We’ll have guides for movement, cover, and weapon abilities coming soon, so you’ll have all the help you need in order to tackle the game on any difficulty - should you need it!

Special Enemy Units
Not all enemy troops that you encounter are the same - sometimes you will encounter these much more powerful 'boss' ranked enemies.

These enemy units have much more hit points and may be equipped with a very powerful weapon. When you encounter one, be sure to pay close attention to the battlefield, fire up your tactical brain, and whatever you do, do not underestimate your opponent!

Vehicles in Broken Lines
This is something that we’re asked about a lot, but until now we’ve never shown what vehicles are like in Broken Lines.
Be warned, as you progress in the game you will inevitably come up against heavily armored vehicles.
Always be sure to scout the map as vehicles are hard to hide - and knowing that you will have to fight one will allow you to prepare for it!
So - vehicles do exist in Broken Lines, but only for the enemies, so you won't be using them.

🤘We have a special announcement for fans of Broken Lines!🤘
The Metal band Asuryan has been following Broken Lines and decided to create an awesome fan tribute song of the game!
Everyone at Broken Lines has been really touched by this gesture and we all hope that you'll enjoy this song as well!
[previewyoutube="GOP9CczNs8Y;full"]
Be sure to give the song a listen, let us know what you think, and check out the Asuryan band page.
Rifles in Broken Lines
You’ve seen the Shotguns and the SMGs, so now it’s time to look at the rifles.
Rifles are the weapon of choice if you need to engage the enemy from a distance, and though they have a slow rate of fire, their damage per projectile, range, and accuracy from a distance is unmatched.
What’s more, we have 2 special rifles that come with a scope. The added scope means that these particular rifles have an even longer range and are even more accurate.
What do these weapons look like? Check out this short clip of Conner armed with one of the scoped rifles!

The Developer Diaries on YouTube
As we’re reaching the end of the development process for Broken Lines (we’re mainly sorting out bugs now) we’ve 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 game’s harder modes!
Check them out in our YouTube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiOdCCDniYM91L5nxG-dbHg

It’s time to introduce the SMGs that you can find in Broken Lines. If you need to suppress the enemy, these are the weapons for you.
In Broken Lines, SMGs are typically characterized by a high rate of fire and a large ammo capacity. Though their major drawbacks are low accuracy, a limited range, and low overall damage per bullet.
The SMGs that you will have access to are:
The Sten Gun
The Thompson Submachine Gun
The PPSH41
The MP40
The Sturmgewehr 44
In-Game Model
Now that you know about the various SMGs in the game, let’s look at what it looks like when Fry is equipped with the ever-trusty Sten Gun!

Early on in your campaign, you will rescue Izkor, a very interesting elderly local that decides to help the squad. What does he bring to the table? Well, he has special contacts that give him access to some more exotic weaponry! Perhaps that’s why he was in a prison when you first met him?
These weapons are far stronger than the basic rifles, shotguns, and SMGs that your squad has been equipped with, so it is wise to check what he has in store.
Izkor also has some supplies to help feed the squad so you may have to make a decision. Will you buy the better weapons, or will you buy the supplies to feed the squad?

The Shotgun
The shotgun is a powerful, close-ranged weapon best used to clear out enemies that have limited room to manoeuvre such as if you need to clear out an occupied building!

People need to eat - that is a simple fact of life. The soldiers under your care in Broken Lines are no different.
Supplies are an important resource in Broken Lines as every day you spend 1 supply per solider to keep them fed and happy. If you do not have enough for the entire team (say you are missing one) an unfortunate event will happen. As a result of that, some (or sometimes all) of the squad members will lose composure. This is important to know as lower composure will influence their battle performance and may activate strange effects.
If a solider’s composure hits zero, they will eventually desert the squad, usually ending in their untimely death!
Supplies can be found in random encounters while at camp, or found in crates during a mission.
