Engaging Mech Strategy with Room for Improvement
Phantom Brigade is a dynamic strategy game that immerses players in tactical combat with customizable mech squads. The game allows you to command a team of up to four mechs, engaging in battles where you can predict enemy movements during each five-second turn. The integration of timelines and enemy projections enhances the strategic depth, making it feel like you're orchestrating a battle against overwhelming odds. However, the initial excitement can wane as players encounter frustrating elements in the gameplay experience.
The game features a turn-based and real-time combat system, allowing for simultaneous movement and shooting commands. Players can reclaim parts and weapons after skirmishes, which can be converted into resources. The extensive customization options available for mechs, including various weapons and cosmetic changes, add a layer of depth. Despite its strengths, the poorly designed tutorial and occasional glitches detract from the overall experience, highlighting a need for improvements in user guidance and technical stability.
