Have you ever wondered how difficult Into the Breach would be with a human player controlling the Vek?
Now you can find out! So invite a friend, and see who can get the furthest with the Mechs!
Hotseat enables local multiplayer between two players on the same computer.
The Mech Player selects missions, purchases equipment, and tries to complete the run.
The Vek Player spawns and controls the Vek during missions, and attempts to end the run for the Mech Player.
Vek Player Turn:
Select where to spawn your units - queue up your attacks
Mod Options:
With a player in control of the Vek, the game difficulty increases by a lot.
In addition to Easy - Normal - Hard, you can toggle several options to give the Mechs a fighting chance.
This option increases power for every power objective by 2
