Breach 2 is a tactical role-playing game developed by Omnitrend Software in 1990 for the Amiga, Atari ST and DOS. It is the first sequel to the 1987 game Breach, and was itself followed by Breach 3 in 1995. The game is set in the universe of Omnitrend's Universe and Rules of Engagement series and is compatible with the both Rules of Engagement games.
The player is a squad leader in the interstellar Federated Worlds Special Forces, whose goal is to utilize his squad of space marines effectively in winning different scenarios. If the squad leader is killed, the player loses the scenario and is bumped out of the mission back to the main menu. The player controls every action of each marine, including the squad leader.
