What is Phoenix Point?

A single-player, turn-based strategy RPG that alternates between a global campaign map and squad-based tactical battles with a third-person aiming view. You lead the Phoenix Project against a mutating alien threat, exploring Earth, researching technology, building bases, managing resources and faction relations, and targeting enemy body parts and equipment in combat.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy global management between turn-based tactical missions
  • +you want manual aiming and body-part targeting
  • +you like experimenting with mixed soldier classes

Not for you if...

  • −you want multiplayer rather than a single-player campaign
  • −you dislike managing multiple squads, bases, and resources

What players say

72% of 5,542 reviews are positive · 90% of 22 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the manual aiming and body-part damage systems, along with flexible class combinations. Common complaints focus on repetitive missions, tedious late-campaign squad management, uneven class and enemy balance, and a clunky interface; some players also report lingering bugs.
