Phoenix Point tips and tricks

Phoenix Point has been a contentious game since it released on December 3, 2019. Created by the original designer of the X-COM series, Julian Gollop, the tactical/strategic hybrid definitely leans on some of the hardest underpinnings of the original title while giving the nod to innovations brought by Firaxis Games in the XCOM reboot.

Released exclusively on the Epic Games Store for a year, divisions were already running high although some of that will have been mitigated now thanks to the game's release on Steam via the Year One Edition.

Our Phoenix Point review picked up on some notable bugs and balance issues, although there has been a lot of improvements to the game over the past year - and several expansions to boot. It's an experience that will benefit from ongoing discussions of strategic deployment, tactical nuance, and general exploration. Luckily for you, we're here to provide you with some basic tips and tricks to help you navigate this familiar - and yet at the same time, strange - turn-based strategy game.
