I've calculated that in the future I am just as stupid.
Ye
This is a very nice game. It feels amazing when you spend minutes planning and you watch it all unfold. The graphics and effects are also good. I can't wait for the new updates.
There are a few things I wish were different. The big one being convey missions. You should be able to see where the convoy is coming from. It makes no sense how they just kinda appear. It is especially annoying when they appear behind your guys and the transport is a mech, because they just get to fire into the back of your dudes in. It also makes no sense how the escort of the convoy is in front of you and the convoy is coming in behind you.
Another thing, I would like to be able to choose where my guys go, like a deployment zone instead of them just deploying where ever and my sniper is in the front of the group and my tank is in the back.
But overall, the game is a lot of fun and it feels great when you pull of amazing rounds where you basically one side smash them, using the information from them timeline to avoid maximum damage while inflicting a lot of damage. Plus it hopefully getting some updates that will make it even better.
An excellent pseudo-xcom strategy game with novel mechanics and fun graphics. The incremental improvements that have been added post launch turned it from something that was simply novel, to a game that is genuinely great.
Good
Very cool game. Good battle mechanics. Continuing support from the devs will only make it better in the future...
Phantom Brigade is a good game and I recommend it. Everything is executed well, with no obvious flaws. I'm playing on Linux and I encountered no bugs while playing the game whatsoever. It just runs out of the box.
Phantom Brigade presents an interesting twist on the TBT genre. The prediction mechanism makes things much more, well, predictable. One of the mainstays of TBT games is that you need to figure out what the opponent might be doing and devise a move that minimizes losses and advances your strategy. In Phantom Brigade this is exceedingly easy. You KNOW what's going to happen in the next few seconds, so you can plan accordingly. Therefore you can almost always plot an optimal path and firing solution for your units. Thus the fun shifts from divining the possible moves of the opponent to running countless simulations to find the best alternative. It's fun but there are very few surprises.
What about the rest? You are on a campaign of freeing your home country from, so far, faceless minions. Your mobile base, a small dot on the map, moves around as you free region after region. You move around the landscape, chosing to engage enemy troops or attack bases. Your allies, the Home Defense Force, are fighting, too, and sometimes you join them in battle. There are liitle to no strategic challenges on this level. Sometimes enemy units chase you and you have to decide where to give battle, mainly to control how much enemy reinforcement can arrive. There are only a few special weapons that need ammo, so the only thing you have to look out for is your armor, which is easy because of the prediction mechanic. You get random missions (make sure to open the task item, so that you can see which symbol on the map corresponds to the mission) and events, not unlike the Battletech game by Harebrained. After battle you salvage parts or manufacture new ones in your mobile HQ to equip your mechs with them. There is a simple resource management component, which, after 20 h, hasn't made any difference so far. Pilots do not have skills or a career or anything. They are just another component of your mechs that can fail and has a special damage category aimed at it. This is supposed to change with an upcoming update.
The graphics style is nice and clean, maybe a little too clean for a warzone, the animations are fine. The mechs are more like armored soldiers and less like tanks on legs. Even heavy frames look lithe. The sound FX are well-done and the score is, when I noticed it, some classical-inspired music. I would have liked something with a bit more punch to up the excitement but hey, I have a large collection of records.
So, good game, but I'm laying off this game for now and wait for the pilot careers update to give it a new swirl.
The number of times i have played a just fucking *beautiful* turn and watched it a few times over is roughly equal to the number of times I have reloaded combat to try and do a mission just a bit better. Phenomenal game.
Can be played at any pace.
Hate when the original members slowly die from combat
Eventually the bios might auto-fill on the new pilots, but thats not a problem.
Would buy it again.
It's a great mech game.
Good.
All in all a good basis for the game. I am excited to see where the game goes, but be warned that at the time being the campaign can get repetitive as there is a limit to the depth in terms of mission type, enemy variety and equipment. Still, a good game, especially on sale.
Fun game, just don't forget to not run into yourself...
i love this game and thats because they still have not yet finished adding stuff to it its a masterpiece already.
Very fun combination of mechanics. Even replaying stages for your own curiosity ends up being fun.
W updates, W game, worth the price 10/10.
Step 1: install Extra Modified Actions Mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3341187729.
Step 2: Equip Big Chungus Mech with Big Chungus Shield with Atlas Thrusters and as many heatsinks as you can.
Step 3: use dash to bash everything with your shield. Only noobs use shields to soak damage and waste repair fluid. Use shields the true proper way, to create meat putty inside a walking oven as the Empire intended.

A game where you can view 5 seconds ahead of time and see what your enemy suits will do, from there you'll plan out the actions of your own suits in response to that prediction. You lead a rebel group of mobile suits, liberating your country province by province. There's quite a large number of provinces to go through. At launch the variety of mission types was limited, but since then additional modes and improvements have been added.
The animations & details present when you scrub thru the timeline to see each individual missile shot, explosion and impact adds a lot to the replayability of the game, if you're into that thing. Zooming in and witnessing the stimulated carnage up close makes for a lot of fun.
Would recommend if you like a more involved turn based game and/or mecha in general.
really nice game, combat is pretty unique but everything else plays out like xcom 2
The game has a lot of small problems with clearly communicating elements to new players. Once you get past those, figure out how things work despite poor instructions, and find your stride, the gameplay itself is really fun.
Definitely recommend this game to anybody that loves turn-based tactical games and/or mecha.
Using a system similar to video and audio layer editing to plot combat in 5 second bursts is highly novel. The only other turn based system I would compare it closely to is John Wick: Hex (also an excellent game).
Great game! very difficult. Love the customization.
A tactical and strategic game with lots of customisation options on mechs to try out different tactical scenarios, with a campaign strategic game on top based on taking over map territories, and a tech tree to climb for ever better units to deploy.
All good, EXCEPT that each territory you fight over ends on a 'boss level' battle with a "behemoth" giant spider-like ubermech. Sorry Brace Yourself Games but I find the behemoth battles just silly compared with all the rest of the game, and I cannot see why you felt it a good idea to include them. For that reason I lost all interest in further play and uninstalled it. But you might like the behemoth fights so I still (just) recommend it. Try then for yourself and come to your own view.
I love the mechanics of the game, it's very unique. If you like mechs, you'll like PB. HOWEVER, the game becomes very unstable in big battles, and I've lost a lot of time from crashes. I sucks, but the game is good enough to endure.
One of the rare games that utilize a timeline mechanic.
It combines the tactical fight of Xcom with the cumbersome, awesome mass of mechs
Interesting game mechanics that are able to generrate impressive and exciting battles but then you're left with an unfortunate micromanagement of meaningless robot upgrades and boring overworld activities.
Loaded a save file only to find I no longer have pilots. Gameplay is pretty fun though but the bugs completely ruin it. 4/10 would not recommend.
The simultaneous turn-based system isn't perfect, but it's still the best version of the system to exist in any game, ever. Really, really fun to watch play out.
Everything else is... fine.
It also bears repeating: there is no story. "They" invaded, "they" are very cruel for reasons that are never stated, and "we" have to fight back. It's pretty jarring to not even have a country name to grab onto.
This game had immense potential at release yet never realized it. However, the devs have steadily been patching the game, fixing bugs, and adding features. As of Update #3, I would recommend this game heartily.
A great game! I love the unique mechanics and their discord even has support on mods if you need it. I have high hopes that they will continuously see growth and success. They also do a great job with keeping the community updated on their future plans and where they are looking to go.
Game play is fun but lacking incredibly in lore and content, its basically doing the same thing over and over again just on higher levels after province one. Might want to add more content on mech parts and functions as well
I played this game non-stop for 40 hours when it first release. I'm scared to boot it up again and risk losing 40 more hours.
Play this game - its worth it.
Good game that keeps getting better
Every turn is a puzzle; Glad to see this little gem getting some polish :D
One of the few WEGO games out (the last ones in the genre were the UFO games from ALTAR GAMES almost 20 years ago). If you like tactical turn based games this is for you. AND it looks like the Devs have listened to player feedback (yes the game's not dead), and are looking to add Pilot progression (adding more RPG mechanics) as well as developing the campaign to become a more narrative experience. The art style and animations are superb, and you can slow down and review the last turn's gameplay to watch the action from any angle at any speed (perfect for making the best screenshots). For any tactical game fans out there, I'd say it's a must for your game library :)
Hell yeah simulator
not for nothing phantom brigade is an easy game to love in spite of some glaring flaws. the unique pseudo turn based gameplay is excellent at organically creating moments that really get your gears turning. you have to consider more than your own actions upon the enemy, as you scroll the timeline, and contend with the nature of causality. since you know how the next "turn" will play out, how will your damage dealt and positioning protect your units and what kind of reaction will they provoke. "active" mechanics are very difficult to implement in turn based games and can be extremely tedious after a while. they've done a unique and excellent job here and combat stays fresh.
customization is excellent too, but that's where the glowing positives end. this is a smaller dev team, so a lot of the stuff that a bigger studios in the genre get to spend their time and money on aren't present or as fleshed out here. the focus here is on mechanics. story, lore and characters take a necessary backseat. it makes for a fairly dull playthrough between the battles and customization screen. creating your own story over a long campaign is a hallmark of this genre and it's difficult to find much to latch on to here.
that said, the devs are still listening, still working and each major update feels like a major step-up for the game. that kind of commitment, talent and evident sustainability of their business is rare in this industry and i think, for that, this game should be getting a lot more attention than it is. this is an excellent game, mechanically, and is only getting better!
When I originally played this game, I thought it had a really cool core gameplay loop that unfortunately quickly became stale due to a large number of game systems feeling rushed or incomplete. Then, it seemed like the game would be abandoned, because there were some issues with the developers or publishers or whatever. But not so! They've continued to release fairly meaty updates every few months or so, and just announced an upcoming rework to the pilot system (giving them meaningful skills and distinctions), which was a big missing piece for me personally at launch.
I'm giving a thumbs up here because I think the game is moving in a good direction - my opinion over the past 6 months or so has gone from a wistful "what it could have been" to a hopeful "what it might become." The powers that be could have easily cut their losses and moved on, but they continue to iterate and make big updates, and I really appreciate that.
This developer is a great example of why indies are better than AAA. This game released to so-so reviews, but the dev team keeps improving it, year after year, listening to the community and reviewers. This is clearly a passion project, and they're not satisfied until it's the best that it can be.
As for the game, it delivers what it says on the tin. A unique and fun action system, classic mech customization, and a large map to conquer. I wish that the campaign had a bit more plot to it, but the gameplay alone is enough to recommend it.
It is the only game that keeps me hooked.
Despite the fact that the story is weak and vague, the gameplay won my attention. There is so much detail in the weapon and armor department. Even if you have this 3 second magical glimpse in the future the game can and will punish you.
I would like a better story, more variations in the weapons department as well as more variation in armor and enemies. A DLC would be perfect.
The music imo is terrific. I recommend it if you love turn based mech battles.
This game is great. i love the staregy you have to use when planing and the destuction physics.
Tip use the prism at long range
Mechanically pretty good, it is rather padded though. It's in an awkward place.
There is an overworld you move around on like in Mount and Blade. There are occasional missions. Most missions take the form of parking somewhere for a little while or having a fight.
Which is where the problem comes in. There is a big country to conquer and not too much variety in missions. It's gonna take me like 40-60 hours to complete a campaign. I'm like 4-5 territories in and every one works the same way.
The equipment system is complex and interesting, but lacking anything too spicy. No crazy weapon variants, just incremental changes in various statistics.
There is a profound lack of personality. It needs more voice acting, especially for the pilots. As it stands all they are is a portrait, they don't even seem to have specific stats. Just a kill count. With a campaign so long it really needs more short term goals and surprises. Hopefully patches will add things like pilot weapon specializations, maybe personalities and quest interactions. I want more worldbuilding, more detail, more personality/creativity.
This game is fun for the gameplay, but there is nothing that sparks the 'one more turn/one more fight' feeling that X-com and Civ provide. It's very close to being great, but somehow doesn't spark much emotion.
I should note that their recent patch made numerous positive changes to the gameplay, hopefully they're still working on it :)
If you like turn base combat then do I have a game for you. Your turns are every in 5 second intervals where you can see what the enemy is going to do and plan accordingly. And it's MECH ON MECH action.
Code Geass Simulator
After only 10 hours of play, I am absolutely enjoying this game. It's as if xcom and mechwarrior made a baby.
Not what I expected, Thought it was going to be XCOM with mechs. But it is very unique from what Ive played before. Some kind of mix between Frontmission and Real time with pause. The game turns are planned 5 second phases.
8hr in so far. Only thing I can think of this game needs is individual pilot skills like in Frontmission.
Really fun and unique take on the tactics based unit game. Pretty solid resource management and variety is alright, you will see some repeating arenas but that's not an issue considering enemy variety.
Really cool mechanics all around and worth the price if you're looking for a challenge with lots of cool moving parts.
Really interesting concept and good execution. It's fun.
Bought the game in pretty early access, gave it some time for new content. Took out a boss, moved on to another area and I just dont find the game fun. The game just does not feel engaging or exciting. Weapon or backpacks, just arent dropping with much variety. For example, ive had the 2H Minigun drop and 1 Beam weapon drop only once, each, in around 15 hours of playing. I feel like I have to grind out on patrols and roaming enemies to get lucky, even then, pieces of armor and weapons look like they have random perks attached to them, so I have to grind out decent ones just to survive enemies that get harder with each destroyed patrol. Made it to the 2nd boss and its such a slog, nothing im expecting from an early game boss.
The early game being this tedious and sloggy only makes me dread mid and late game. Not even looking at the gameplay, the events are so uninspired and feel like they do nothing. For example, you can capture enemies in small, random events, to keep as "captives". Its treated like some sort of resource. What do they captives do? I dont know. Then theres events like getting a surplus of parts after a battle, so your engineers ask for some time to fiddle around to make something amazing. I waited till the end and BAM, nothing. The game doesnt tell me what I got and I couldnt find anything that made me waste my time.
The game feels like the tedium was intentional, in order to pad out the play time, even the story feels hollow and generic. I dont mind when games are hard, with you have to work your way up, but this just is not fun.
A good tactical game that finally makes me realize that I really just prefer turn based games. The strange time based system of this game can be confusing and stressful.
Like I said, it not bad. Just not something for me.
