Phoenix Point: Year One Edition is a Tactical Strategy video game developed and published by Snapshot Games then released on December 3rd, 2020.

  • Phoenix Point is a game fans of the genre should not miss. Sure, it has some flaws, but it's a very solid first entry for a new IP, and we hope it continues to grow –the foundation is so good it could easily be one of the best strategy franchises.
  • Phoenix Point 1.9 Polaris and Year one Edition are releasing tomorrow at 10 AM PDT (7 PM in Central Europe). Info about Polaris update is here. Currently, we have two saved game files, one for the Geoscape and one for Tactical missions, which causes some development challenges for the team.
  • Phoenix Point: Year One Edition is the definitive version of the acclaimed strategy game from the creator of X-COM, collecting all previous DLC, updates, and additional content. The Earth has been overrun. A mutating, alien menace threatens the last remnants of mankind.

This game is a highly anticipated new strategy game from the creator of X-COM where you fight tactical battles on procedural maps against a foe that adapts to your tactics. Reigns - companion book.

Phoenix Point, meanwhile, introduces a system that's both realistic and fun to use: When you target an enemy, you get a scope with two circles – 50% of your shots will land within the smaller one, while 100% land within the larger. Hence, if you're close enough that the target will occupy the entire scope, every shot will hit – meanwhile, longer shots with intervening objects are less likely to land a lot of hits. If other units are in the way or standing behind the target, they may get hit too.

Cover has no magical percentage-reduction ability, it simply reduces the amount of enemy flesh you can fit within your scope. Targeting a particular limb thus becomes a natural thing as well as a trade-off – if your target is at the edge of the creature, more of the shots will likely go wild than if you aimed for a center-of-mass shot. It also helps that most of the attacks you use are ‘burst fire', where it isn't so much a matter of hit/no hit, but rather how MANY of your bullets hit.

There's not much else to say, really. It's basically an X-Com game with the serial-number filed off. You build bases (albeit with the new twist that you're ‘reactivating' dormant bases and repairing decaying facilities, rather than having to build new ones from scratch), recruit soldiers, gather resources, research new equipment and fallen foes, field automated vehicles alongside your fleshy troops for added support, and occasionally wind up wandering into a no-win situation that sees your whole squad wiped out. At that point, depending on your attitude, it's either time to reload an earlier save and try again from a different angle, or time to suck it up and try to salvage the strategic situation despite the tactical loss.

Phoenix point: year one edition review

Dont starve together: starter pack 2020. Though, if you're the ‘hardcore ironman' type, do be warned: The game doesn't have any outright ‘Ironman' switch implemented at this time, so you'd be running purely on your own discipline – indeed, it actively encourages you to save before attempting risky moves. Conversely, it doesn't AUTOSAVE during tactical combat, so there aren't going to be any automatically-generated fallback-points there tempting you.

Also, the game is genuinely hard – soldiers are hard to come by and expensive in terms of resources, and take time to train up to the point where they're genuinely effective. Losing a full team can very easily be a situation you can't recover from, if you haven't been specifically working to maintain a stable of reservists, which is an expensive proposition to say the least.
