Phoenix Point is a tactical strategy game developed by Snapshot Games, created by Julian Gollop, the mastermind behind the original X-COM series. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world in the near future, where humanity faces a global crisis caused by a mysterious alien pandemic. This infection has mutated life on Earth, leading to the emergence of grotesque alien creatures known as the Pandorans. As the player, you take command of the Phoenix Project, a secret organization established to combat this extraterrestrial threat, employing a blend of strategic planning, resource management, and immersive squad-based combat.
Gameplay in Phoenix Point revolves around a turn-based combat system that emphasizes tactical positioning and careful planning. Players must explore a dynamically generated world map, which is populated with various factions and events that challenge their strategy. As you engage in battles against the Pandorans, you can customize your soldiers with a vast array of weapons and abilities, tailoring your squad to fit your playstyle. The game also features a complex interplay between the player and various factions, each with its own agendas, which can lead to alliances, conflicts, and shifting power dynamics. The integration of environmental factors and destructible terrains adds another layer of strategic depth, requiring players to think critically about their actions and the outcomes they may provoke in this richly imagined world.
