Overview

Break Order is a turn-based tactics game that strips the genre down to a single, elegant action: one push per turn. Instead of commanding units across a grid, you choose an angle and let the game's physics engine take over.

The result is a hybrid of puzzle and strategy where every move sets off a chain reaction of collisions, and the table itself becomes the battlefield.

Developed by Ioannis Tzanellis and published by 7 Towers Soft Games, this indie title launched on Steam on October 16, 2026. It supports full controller input, making it a comfortable fit for couch play, and includes Steam Achievements for those who like to chase milestones.

The game is currently available in English and is a paid title.

Highlights

  • One-Push Turn System: Each turn is a single impulse. You don't target enemies directly; you pick the angle that starts the chain, and the physics does the rest.
  • Deterministic Simulation: The game uses integer fixed-point math with continuous collision detection. The same shot on the same board always produces the same result, on any machine, forever.
  • Puzzle-Like Strategy: With a focus on "fewest turns" solutions, Break Order blends tactical thinking with puzzle-solving, encouraging players to find optimal angles and share their solutions.

Who It's For

If you enjoy turn-based tactics but crave something more cerebral, or if you're a fan of physics-based puzzles like Angry Birds or World of Goo, Break Order offers a fresh twist. Its deterministic nature also appeals to speedrunners and players who like to optimize every move.

The lack of real-time pressure makes it a relaxed yet mentally engaging experience.
