Phantom Brigade 2.0 is available now.

Phantom Brigade was initially released in 2023 by Brace Yourself Games, featuring a mech-themed tactical gameplay. The game saw potential but faced criticism for repetitive missions and simplistic AI. As analyst Dominic Tarason noted in his review, the game received a score of 68, reflecting its initial shortcomings.

However, instead of stepping back, the developers invested time over the last two years to amend these flaws. The result is Phantom Brigade 2.0, a substantial update that revamps nearly all aspects of the game.

Key features of the update include:

• A restructured campaign with new quests and maps.
• An enhanced overworld and improved mission generation.
• Over 100 unique traits for pilots, adding depth to gameplay.
• Significant tweaks to damage logic and weapon balancing, aiming to foster a more strategic combat experience.

Initial player reactions are overwhelmingly positive, with recent reviews now at 90% positivity, a stark improvement from its historically lower average. Phantom Brigade is currently being offered at a special discount price of $15 (£12.50) until December 3, making it a perfect opportunity for newcomers to try the revamped game.
