Game Description
Phoenix Point Ultra Edition, also known as Phoenix Point, is a tactical strategy game where players lead the last survivors of humanity against a brutal alien threat. If you’re into turn-based combat and strategy that pushes you to think ahead, this one might catch your eye. It mixes sci-fi with a pinch of horror and throws in enemies that actually adapt to how you play. Sounds familiar if you played X-COM, but Phoenix Point brings its own quirks to the table. Need a challenge? You got it.
What’s the Game About?
Set in 2047, the world is a mess after an ancient alien virus surfaced, mutating creatures into deadly foes. Your job is to manage resources, build up your bases, and fight off increasingly dangerous enemies. Don’t expect a walk in the park. The game rewards careful planning but punishes mistakes with some serious intensity. Ever tried shooting an enemy’s arm off to stop it? Here, you can. It changes how every fight plays out.
Gameplay Highlights
