By the late 2020s, a global apocalypse began when melting polar icecaps released the Pandoravirus into the world's oceans. Named the Pandoravirus, humans and animals who came into contact with it mutated into horrific abominations. Only about one percent of the virus's genome matched anything recorded by scientists up to that time. In 2022, Earth's scientists discovered an extraterrestrial virus in permafrost that had begun to melt. How players resolve these challenges can result in different endings to the game. Meanwhile, multiple factions of humans will pursue their own objectives as they compete with players for limited resources in the apocalyptic world.
Players start the game in command of a lone base, Phoenix Point, and face a mix of strategic and tactical challenges as they try to save themselves and the rest of humankind from annihilation by the alien threat.īetween battles, the aliens adapt through accelerated, evolutionary mutations to the tactics and technology which players use against them. Phoenix Point is set in 2047 on an Earth in the midst of an alien invasion, with Lovecraftian horrors on the verge of wiping out humanity. Phoenix Point is intended to be a spiritual successor to the X-COM series that had been originally created by Snapshot Games head Julian Gollop during the 1990s. It was released on December 3, 2019, for macOS and Microsoft Windows, for Stadia on January 26, 2021, and Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on October 1, 2021. Phoenix Point is a strategy video game featuring a turn-based tactics system that is developed by Bulgaria-based independent developer Snapshot Games. For first-time console players, this should all be easy to interpret, though those playing the PC version of the game of Phoenix Point or Year One Edition may notice some differences in how the UI has been optimized for these systems.Microsoft Windows, macOS, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Stadia All possible actions a player can take on a given screen or with a given interface are always accompanied by an onscreen legend, so players always know what they can be doing - or when a particular action cannot be performed. These tabs are accessed by controller triggers or with shoulder bumpers. Specifically, instead of simply mirroring mouse controls over to controller buttons, different actions in Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition are assigned to specific gamepad buttons by default, and menus are broken into tabs. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players can expect gamepad-first controls that help guide players intuitively through the actions they can take in the game. In approaching the console version of Phoenix Point, we, along with our partners at Saber Minsk, knew we would first have to rethink controls and user interface.
