Phoenix Point, the current brainchild of X-COM creator Julian Gollop, is going to be a real highlight of 2018. While I’ve only played (and failed) a single mission at the recent EGX Rezzed convention, I can already already see its promise, largely because it’s simply more of the alien defense tactics and strategy that I’ve come to love during Firaxis’s tenure as XCOM custodian. It’s brilliant and you should be paying attention.
Start planning how to save the world in Phoenix Point with our campaign guide.
In action, Phoenix Point’s tactical battles play out similarly - almost identically, in fact - to the modern XCOM games. Blue and yellow HUD elements guide your way across a grid-based battlefield, the camera swings down into action as your troops unload magazines into hideous creatures, and the words ALIEN ACTIVITY flash as the enemy make their moves. But, underneath the familiar polish of Firaxis’s incarnation, the blood of the original X-COM is most certainly in Phoenix Point.
