Big thanks to Phantom Brigade for sponsoring today's video as well as a stream. I should be live (roughly) two hours after this video goes live. I'll tweet out, ping in Discord and post a community post here when I do go live, but it'll be over at: / rimmy
The game really tickles a strategic/tactical itch that many games have missed. Phantom Brigade makes the overworld feel actually fun and engaging as patrols on the map are the real reinforcements that might threaten you in a battle, but battles themselves are short and sweet, they don't drag on forever. Very good fun, keen to stream it.

9:11 One of the reasons I loved xenonauts so much was because it really gave you that sense of being the elite. Wherever you went, as long as there were human habitations there were cops, armed civilians, and in the case of a city the damned army would even be there to help. They weren't very good, especially as the game got going, but you had a sense of having regular forces desperately holding the line for the cavalry to arrive, which really made you feel like a space marine sometimes. Also, totally agree with your statement earlier in the video, the games where you get allies are freaking awesome, I'd love for there to be more of them !

they changed the melee combat a bit. You no longer aim a dash circle around enemies but instead dash in a line with a swordwing sioulette indicating where the sword will swing along. It's easier to melee in close combat now, but i kinda miss that slalom rollerskating like movement with enemy mechs as poles, dismanteling them while curving by.

And also judging the terrain can probably make the difference between the time of a mech or tank but the tactical capabilities you can be able to make is more interesting. And the amount of memes you can make using this game is amazing. This is a 10 out of 10.
