18 [Vidya Gayms] After checking some "new" games last few days, I think I may recommend you Phantom Doctrine, an XCOM clone Cold War game made in Poland (and which commercially failed so much that it almost completely sunk the dev) if you get it cheap as I did (media.kotakuinaction2.win) posted 3 years ago by SupremeReader 3 years ago by SupremeReader +18 / -0 10 comments download share 10 comments share download save hide report block hide replies
Isn't this by one of the OG XCOM guys? That went to Epic? Might be mistaken, but I think they fucked over people in the process.
Edit: Confused it with Phoenix Point.
You are thinking of Phoenix Point. A decent but meandering game that failed to capture the spirit of the original x com.
Ah, yes, that is the one, confused the two.
No, it's Polish.
But the shareholders of Creative Forge fired nearly all of their, well, creatives after it sold only over 100,000 copies initially.
Yes, I have confused it with a similarly titled one.
Also there were just 2 "OG XCOM guys", and they were brothers, one of which was "just" programmer.
(Not counting the graphicians, musicians, producers.)
