From GameWatcher: "Phantom Doctrine aims to right two particular wrongs in one fell swoop. The first would be for it to tackle the moderately underused XCOM-ish gameplay mechanics: the strategic meta-layer, and the tactical combat features. The second is the fact that it is spy-themed, which isn't something you see every day."
While not as popular in wargaming, the best cold war strategy games actually offer some of the most innovation in the space.
XCOM like games have become very popular in recent years but some of them definitely stick to the original formula closer than others.
Nevada Dru from Bits & Pieces highlights his favourite element from turn-based espionage game Phantom Doctrine, the investigation board.
Well, it took me just over 50 hours on the PS4 version to complete my first playthrough and there are three campaigns (slightly different) with the third unlocked later on which has more content than the other two. It's quite long!
