An interesting way to play a game GameplayĪfter each battle you win, you can salvage the mechs you defeated for parts to upgrade your mechs to be faster, heavier, or have new abilities. When you are happy with your actions, you resume time and all players will begin to move again. Using the timeline at the bottom of the screen, you can set out move, attack, dash, or shield orders in a paused timeline giving it its turn-based element. The mechs you pilot have a new prototype that allows you to see a small amount of time into the future allowing you to plan ahead in the timeline what your actions will be in the following 5 seconds. It confused me when I first read about it, but it’s an interesting concept. Big thing is the turn-based and real-time nature of the game.

Phantom Brigade is still in early access but there is a lot going for this game. Outnumbered and out-gunned, lead the brigade through a desperate campaign to retake their war-torn homeland. As the last surviving squad of mech pilots, you must capture enemy equipment and facilities to level the playing field. A hybrid turn-based and real-time tactical RPG, focusing on in-depth customization and player-driven stories.

Phantom Brigade is a game made by the developers at Brace Yourself Games.
