Phantom Brigade – a BattleTech-like tactical game with mechs
Fans of BattleTech may want to keep an eye on Phantom Brigade, the newly announced turn-based tactical game about mechs from an independent developer – Tetragon Works.
If you are waiting for Harebrained Schemes’ BattleTech, you may want to share your attention with a similar title. An independent developer, Tetragon Works, has recently announced Phantom Brigade – a turn-based tactical strategy. In the game, you get to command small squads of mech pilots and engage in guerilla combat fought for the liberation of a fictional country.
The machines will be highly customizable – down to such details as weapon loadout, individual pieces of armor, paint and camo, and performance tuning. However, they will become useless without their pilots, hence you need to keep them alive. On the other hand, forcing a hostile mech’s pilot to eject from his mech will let you capture the abandoned machine, thus expanding your arsenal.
Phantom Brigade is going to feature a dynamic campaign with missions ranging from sabotague, infiltration, ambushes, and more. You will have the choice of which targets on the world map you want to hit next in order to secure the resources you currently need.
There is no information on the release date of Phantom Brigade or the platforms it is coming out for, however – judging by the interface – PC is a safe bet.
