Clearly, a lot of time and effort has gone into creating this world, but the turn-based gameplay could have been ripped from a number of existing titles."
"2021 was bursting at the seams with incredible RPGs from every facet of the genre so here are the very best in 11 distinct categories." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
It’s up to you to lead Earth’s resistance: explore a ravaged planet, build your bases, research and develop new techniques and technologies, manage resources on a global scale, and fight in full-scale, turn-based tactical battles to survive. But you won't be alone. Work together with different factions to unite mankind and take back the planet via Phoenix Point's diplomacy system, or crush all your rivals with military might. No matter what you choose, you’re in for a brutal challenge with endless replayability.
Replies(1)wow what a shambles of a review....theres no mention of all the bugs that make the game almost unplayable
game crashes every 2 - 3 missions upon finishing a tactical mission.....meaning if you havent saved during the mission you have to replay it (even saving during the mission can cause crashing)
theres also a bug where the controller just stops and you cant do anything, although i saw an update come out this morning that says its fixed that, not gonna bother testing as i had enough of the crashing
to anyone considering getting it i would seriously consider holding off until they can stabilise the gameplay, just search the forums for proof that these are widespread across different consoles

I am so sorry you had bugs.
I never had any or I would have wrote them. Sorry it happened
This game is definitely worse than any XCOM I've ever played.
