The Devs also care about this game and are actively patching it and rebalancing it. So lots of progress had been made towards making Phoenix Point playable-at least on Rookie level. The way enemies scale up in difficulty has also been reworked too.

And there are also mission where you can face off against the three main factions as enemies too-for a grand total of six types of enemies in the base game, seven if you dare to play with the broken Blood and Titanium DLC.Ĭore missions like Lairs and Citadel assaults have been reworked. The Forsaken and a human Scavenger enemy may appear on salvage missions instead of the main enemy, the Pandorans.

I’ve noticed a lot of the changes to things like how characters level up and earn skill points, how trade works with havens, and how there are now more enemies types in the base game. There are still a lot of game breaking bugs (campaign ending bugs) that-for some strange reason-only appear in campaigns when playing on any difficulty level higher than Rookie.Īside from the new DLC ruining the game, the developers have made a lot of progress fixing bugs and rebalancing the game. Apparently, those missions will be reworked in a future patch, which will be coming soon too. The AI in the tactical combat needs a lot of work-especially on resource salvage missions. And if you love bullet sponge enemies, this it the DLC for you. The new enemy faction added, the Pure, suck since all they tend to do is move toward you, use a disruption ability on you soldiers that locks down all soldier’s special abilities for a turn, and then deploy a shield in front of them that makes it hard for you to shoot at them. The new DLC, Blood and Titanium, is a mess. I hope you give the game a shot, and I hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as I do.I played the game on release and have come back to it to check it out after the latest patches and DLC. It's all endgame stuff, there are a few strategies to choose from, and while they're super powerful, they still take skill and planning to pull off. Like I said, 32 days of game time and I'm still not tired of it, and I'm still trying out new strategies.Īs other's have said, if you're playing on the higher difficulties there are a few synergies that you pretty much have to use if you want to survive. PP has so many builds and tweaks you can make, and so much more to do on the geoscape, there's no way you'll truly comprehend this game in 40 hours. A reviewer will spend maybe 40 hours with a game before writing a review. They pretty much all say something along the lines of "There's more content than xcom 2, but it's more complicated and difficult, and that isn't necessarily a good thing." Then they'll go into something about how xcom streamlined the formula and made it more accessible and fun, and while PP improves a lot on the design in a lot of ways, it's not more fun. I've read a lot of reviews, and they're all middling, but don't let that get you down. I have over 32 days of playtime clocked on it since I started playing in January. It's good to see the replies to this are generally positive.Īs for the game, personally it's my favorite TBS game now. After a few threads arguing and clarifying, I just quit the sub. I was downvoted, accused of being an Epic Games plant in the community, and sent threatening DM's for having the gall to disagree with the hateful pile-on that was happening during the Epic exclusivity deal.
