Every like, subscribe and comment will go a long way to getting me established on the platform, so many thanks if you've taken the time to do so!
Additional thanks to all of the viewers, streamers and friends who have pushed me to keep working on this video and release it to the world.
This was far more work than I ever intended it to be, there are things I would have done differently, issues with some of the script and footage I wish I'd have recorded for some sections, but I'm happy with this, warts and all. It's a fitting tribute to Phoenix Point, something with the heart in the right place, just maybe a little sloppy in execution. - เกม

Phoenix Point is such a great game!
Fantastic level of detail my man
As someone who only just started playing recently there is a lot to take in, but as an XCOM veteran this is the game I always wished XCOM could be more like:
More layers, more details, more combinations
Your format of narrating is really good.
Thank you! I was trying a few different things when writing the script and trying to find my flow for voice over.
Excellent quality. Everything was explained in a fun and easy way. I love this game i have recently found and you helped me understand a lot about whats going on. Thank you.
A very thorough retrospective. I might actually pick this game up!
Thank you for bringing the mod to my attention, willing to give it a second go now
Thank you for this video.
Amazing Video.Very useful
Amazing! Time to try terror from the void. And recreate my most fun run Anu + mutoid only
There are even starting options for TFTV campaigns so you can start with a squad that is more Anu focused. Really gives each run a little bit of extra spice!
Should one skip DLC's in unmodded campaign? Half of them seem to just add extra trouble...
Shame that game didn't explain clearly that player can equip armor from different classes. Especially heavies are useless with their minimum movement + low range weapons. Switching to berserker pants does wonders
I always rec starting your first game without any of the DLC turned on, get a feel for the movement, combat, enemy design, turn structure etc. You want the fundamentals clear and understood before turning on the DLC, they all add more challenging enemies, which can be fun when you know what to do to counter them, but amazingly frustrating as a new player.
Even with my feelings towards Kaos Engines, I'd still say give all of the DLC a try because they all add at least something interesting, even if I don't use them on every campaign. Corrupted Horizons is top tier however, best additions to the game.
Great guide and thanks man! I was interested in mutoid already but you sold me on it for sure. I couldn't pick up complete edition so I'm gonna pick up that DLC. In a noobie at this game but it has been fun. I have some experience with turn based games and coming from xcom I love the non rng for a change.
Phoenix Point is something that lodges in my side like a mutated lobster claw. I wanted it to completely rock, but I was very disappointed on release. I had it on Epic Games Store and had it super early. Being that early adopter was a huge mistake. The game did improve dramatically as the game was further fleshed out (with DLC I had in the season pass, and huge numbers of patches), but there was still something missing. There are certain elements of the game I adore, but there are elements I hate with a passion in equal measure. It is a marmite game deep in its core, and that's not a good thing. I like the innovations but they fell short of the promise. If I were to pick Phoenix Point or X-Com 2 with WOTC, it would be the latter every time. The latter is superior in just about every way. That said, some of the mechanics in Phoenix point would have been epic in X-Com 2. I much prefer having transport ships, finite ammunition and bases. I really enjoy the tech build up, scavenging and theft in Phoenix Point. But its not enough. There are certain armour sets and art choices that make me gag with Phoenix point. Even where the story starts feels like a missed opportunity. I had a much better campaign, but that was more than two years ago now. I can't see myself going back to it, which is very unfortunate but oddly, I have finished X-Com 2 several times and can't see myself going back there either.
The factions are cool. My favourite are the Disciples of Anu but Synedrion and New Jericho are memorable with Synedrion being my most likely real world solution, if I were to choose (oh, with New Jericho weapons).
In addition, the development team for Phoenix Point really rubbed people the wrong way. They started out on a Kickstarter (Fig Crowdfound), took Epic blood money with a year exclusive (breaking their promise to the funders that this game would be released simultaneously on many platforms), then arrived on Steam after their 1 year exclusive. They did about everything they could do wrong in this regard. The creator comes from the original XCOM from the 90s, Julian Gollop.
Great vid. I own on PS5 and love it (Xcom is great but as you said it's about managing pods and getting that RNG in your favour). Going to try a legendary all DLC playthrough after watching your video
i played it before i bought it.. i bought it after because i enjoyed it :) so i am one with only 3h playtime on steam .. it's fantastic game and i'm baffled with that it's not more popular
i don't have experience with all dlc .. great info on that in video (planning to play it again with all enabled)
At around the three hour, forty eight minute mark and I just wanted to tell you I was not three minutes before looking for phoenix point in my epic library and making a kind of incredulous frown while I hovered over it, so you called that very well.
Nah to be honest i started this on the hardest difficulty past a month and a half before quitting it for awhile got into it again after i got bored of the other rts games on xbox so its fun but really hard and makes me think which i like
Started on normal and having a blast coming from rng gambling xcom hah
Just fed up with Phoenix Point after 40h of gaming. Installed XCOM2 (again), but after Your intro here i think, i'll give Phoenix Point third chance.
It's such a weird recommendation to make I know. A huge part of PP is getting over the Xcom/OldCom mindset, it requires a pretty high amount of adaptation to how you think about an engagement as it isn't pod by pod any more, once bullets start flying that's kind of it, you're fighting now.
It does make for some really dirty victories though, crushing lows and flying highs kinda thing.
Is there any mods that speed things up when it comes to research & leveling?? Like maybe also research armors with just one armor piece, instead of all, etc.
There are a few mods on the Steam workshop that let you tweak values/straight up cheat to speed up research or unlock things more easily. The majority of them will not work if you're using TftV though.
Honestly speaking, the game doesn't have the legs to rush through research. The tree looks big, but once you've got a few centres down you'll fly through all of it. Invest early in making a couple of bases that are solid all rounders, 2 or 3 labs + factories in both. Once you get past that 1 early hump everything else is a breeze.
A lot of people make the mistake of spending a bunch of materials on extra weapons and hiring far more soldiers than they can use early on, your early economy should be feeding your bases almost exclusively.
@@MysteriousFawx thank you, I'll keep that in mind.
BTW missing stealth feature here... did You mention this
Stealth is in there, I think it's covered with the infiltrator class.
