Much like Phantom Squad, you need a solid plan A in No Plan B, a tactical top-down shooter where every decision counts.

It shares Phantom Squad’s focus on meticulous coordination and split-second timing, only from above. Pick up this duo at over 15% off here, [/p][p] [/p][p]
OXTO is a high-intensity, black-and-white roguelite shooter set in a supernatural mansion. You play as an unnamed hero on a mission to rescue a loved one. Expect fast, brutal gunplay, focus-based time-slow abilities, randomly generated levels, and a striking film-noir pixel art style accented with vivid splashes of red.[/p][p]After a tense firefight in Phantom Squad, OXTO offers a shift in pace that is frenetic, stylish and endlessly replayable. Grab it before time runs out, at over 40% off here.
[/p][p]So if the base game wasn’t enough, or if you want to gift the bundle to a fellow squadmate, be sure to pick them up now![/p][p] See you on the field,
