PHOENIX POINT PS4 BUGS SERIES

вЂњDisciples of AnuвЂќ is a cult that considers the virus to be a divine ordeal that must be overcome, so humanity would be able to evolve. The world itself, after being ravaged by World War 3 and mutated by Pandoravirus, is divided between three main organizations. But that obviously will make owning faction mad at you. You can also raid a Haven for resources or technology. And if your relations improve further, youвЂ™ll get factionsвЂ™ technologies. For starters, you need to actually gain their trust to trade. Well, at least interaction with different factions is a bit more interesting and nuanced than just trading or fighting.

Though the latter may be for the best, otherwise inability to do such missions covertly would be even more of a sore in the eye. вЂњSabotagedвЂќ organization always worsens its attitude for the same amount. Human casualties donвЂ™t influence the outcome. ItвЂ™s always the same amount of materials and tech (like materials, only needed for more advanced manufacturing) for HavenвЂ™s defense regardless of how badly Haven was damaged. But they can be taken under your control if one of your agends or vehicles will reach the circle, surrounding them.Д®ven rewards for missions donвЂ™t depend on how you perform. One of a few interesting options during the mission is that all friendly units act as a separate party. When you are sent to protect the Synedrion experiment from interference, you just вЂњsecure the areaвЂќ by killing everyone around. When you go to stop the raid of the Pure on the Synedrion, you just kill everyone on both sides вЂ“ there is no way to actually help one side. How exciting those unique assignments would be if they had special conditions or at least some scripted sequences! But no. You donвЂ™t have, for example, the вЂњstealth phaseвЂќ like in XCOM2 missions, even if your task is to sabotage or steal something вЂ“ just go in and take or destroy the target.Д«ut my main disappointment is вЂњspecial operationsвЂќ that advance the story and change your relations with the factions. And some missions require you to pick up all the loot, otherwise, it will be lost. Yes, at the later stage of the campaign youвЂ™ll also have to capture a few alien specimens by paralyzing them with a special weapon (actually, Synedrion vehicle is the best option for this).

Objectives are usually limited to killing all the enemies, destroying a specific target, grabbing a certain item, and simply surviving while reaching the evacuation area.

While there are indeed some new ideas in the tactical gameplay formula, tactical battles themselves are far less innovative. So, your agent can make one step, shoot from a grenade launcher for 3AP, and still have the rest of the remaining point (everyone has 4AP) to move into the cover again. Moving a tile only spends a fraction of one point. Or just make them kill enemies вЂ“ that raises spirit too! And to restore those you need for your operatives to waste an entire turn. Quickshot or вЂњBoom BlastвЂќ on the other hand reduce various attacksвЂ™ Action Point cost. Dashing and use of jump jets allow moving greater distances. Will Points are actually very important, as they not only serve as protection from panic and psionic attacks but also used to perform special moves. For that matter, if your arm or head takes enough damage it will вЂњdisabledвЂќ, making you unable to use two-handed weapons or reducing the amount of Will Points until the end of the battle. Foes can miss only at long distances and enough hits can completely destroy the weapon right in your agentвЂ™s hands. Another вЂ“ you can point your soldierвЂ™s gun to hit the enemyвЂ™s vital body parts or parts with less armor. And while the Random still can pull some dirty tricks, if you manage to put both circles inside the enemyвЂ™s silhouette there is no way, you can miss. Instead of an abstract percentage that determines hit chance by unknown formula, Phoenix Point shows you the actual spread of your future shots as two concentric circles. However, there are quite a few gameplay differences, most notably the shooting. The tactical battle interface here looks a lot like the one in XCOM, thatвЂ™s for sure. Had the legendary designer returned to show us how you do UFO-like game right? Or did he fail to surpass his own successors, the likes of XCOM or UFO: AfterвЂ¦? Another Shot at XCOM Formula

And he also designed several subsequent games in the series about protecting humanity from alien invaders by researching their weapons (after taking those weapons from their dead bodies).

After all, Phoenix Point was developed under the leadership of Julian Gollop вЂ“ one of the creators of the original X-com: UFO Defense. For now, letвЂ™s determine if the game itself is worth all the hustle. IвЂ™ll make my comment on Snapshot GamesвЂ™ business practices towards the end. Finally! This is my review of Phoenix Point.
