![]() ![]() So the odds are pretty stacked against you. You have two Walkers of your own to fight them off and apparently it was rare for the demo to end in victory. You're now thrown against a handful of tanks and a single enemy mech (think they’re called Walkers) and it’s a doozy of a fight. At the end of destroying the tank you're brought into a nice in-game cutscene that transitions you to a another part of the battlefield where the actual fight for the demo starts. Now when the timer runs down your mech will start attacking when the attack “track” hits the left hand side of the timeline even if you are moving at the time. The PAX demo was focused on getting the essentials up and running so it didn’t feature all the elements seen in earlier videos (things like fiery ashes raining down from the sky as battlefield conditions worsened) and the presentation might have been a bit spotty at times but it did a great job selling the new combat. The team from Tetragon Works went on to help out on BYG’s city builder, Industries of Titan so Phantom Brigade took a backseat for a bit.Īpparently during beta testing Phantom Brigade there was feedback about the overall speed of things so the team went on to tear it apart and rebuild it with real-time elements back in February. The game got a good number of development updates over the years but went dark a little while ago as the company making the game, Tetragon Works merged with the Crypt of the Necrodancer developer, Brace Yourself Games. There’s a lot to unpack here and I’ve got an hour to kill before I can take some cold medication and go to bed.Īs a brief refresher on the game: Phantom Brigade was announced a couple years ago as a turn based strategy game that featured customizable mechs and a high level of destruction (for units and the environments you battled them in). Unfortunately there isn’t any gameplay footage of the demo for public display so bear with me here as I try to explain it with my notes and a whiteboard I have lying around. It was one of the highlights of the show for me so I might as well gush (ramble) about it here. ![]() I was surprised that Phantom Brigade didn’t get much coverage from its presence at PAX East last month. ![]()
