Phoenix Point is the new strategy game from the creator of the original X-COM series. It features turn based tactics and world based strategy in a fight against a terrifying, alien menace.

An unusual virus discovered in melting permafrost excites the scientific community. It has a massive genome, and only 1% of its genes match anything in existing databases.

"What the hell is going on with the other genes?" asks researcher Jean-Michel Moreau. "This opens a Pandora's box. What kinds of discoveries are going to come from studying the contents?"

The seas transform in something totally alien. Then the mutagens began to invade the land via an airborne microbial mist.
Highlights: mutant enemies, proper boss battles, turn-based squad battles, proper soldier development, extensive equipment mechanics, fully destructible procedural environments, a fully revamped Geoscape and various mission types.

Please see the details here.

Guys, this is from the man who made the original XCOM in the 80s.

Personally, I think the projects looks spectacular and if you are turn-based RPG/RTS fans would really miss out if you didn't back.

This is not an advertisement - I'm sharing here because of the greater sensibility of CRPG-gamers, not obsessed by graphics but more interested in nonstandard concepts.

    X-Com was in the 90s. Still play it every now and then. Ah, the golden age of Microprose.

    Well, this is from the author himself, and it looks great. Luckily, it got to 100% but now there are stretch goal. Any Turn Based Strategy fans here?

    Backer Build One has been released! I only had a few minutes to play through a single mission but I’m very pleased. I’m not crazy about only getting one spare magazine for the primary weapon but I guess that’s why all those glowing crates are scattered about :-)

    I am quite impressed too. Except by performance.
