Title: Phantom brigade - early access
Post by: Undercovergeek on November 30, 2020, 07:34:03 AM

I’m not normally prone to ooooooo shiny but I came across this on a YouTube channel I watch

Mechs!!!! Customisable pilots and mechs all with an RPG element and a career to map

The gameplay has a cool combat mission style thing going on - you plot your moves and shooting and then watch a 5 second segment of the action unfolding so laser squad nemesis/CMBO/ frozen synapse BUT due to ‘awesome named epic ness’ you have the ability to see the enemies action 5 seconds in advance so you are in effect reacting to their actions which I like

Anyway...... cool looking game

I've been hearing a bit of noise about this one the last week or two.  I'm not going to touch it until it's available somewhere other than Epic, but it does look interesting.

I thought about that too but it’s merely a meh do I need another gateway to access my games and I can stomach the faffing around - didn’t realise it was only 23 which is a bargain

Then again empire of sin comes out on the 1st 🤔
