Description


Phantom Doctrine is a strategic turn-based espionage thriller set at the peak of the Cold War. Drawing on a wide variety of influences and capturing the subtle intrigue of classic spy films, the game thrust the player into a mysterious world of covert operations, counterintelligence, conspiracy and paranoia.

As leader of a secret organization known only as The Cabal, you are charged with preventing a global conspiracy that seeks to pit leader against leader, and nation against nation. By carrying out secret missions, investigating classified files, and interrogating enemy agents, a sinister plot is uncovered. With the clock ticking, it must be thwarted in order to save the world from an unthinkable fate.

Features


  • A Deep Single Player Story Campaign: the 40+ hour Single player campaign mode features a rich gripping plot woven with numerous historical events and characters to bring the terrifying reality of the Cold War to life from a unique perspective.
  • Next-generation turn-based combat: offers unprecedented flexibility of movement and actions, including variable Overwatch modes and assault-oriented Breach ability.
  • Expanded battlefield: assets can be positioned around the world, enabling you to call for assistance in the heat of battle. But the enemy can also bring in reinforcements, including heavy weapons and even air support. Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight.



  • Knowledge is power: Improve your chances of success by infiltrating mission locations with undercover operatives. Attempt to stay one step ahead of enemy agents, who are also preparing to spring their own devious traps.
  • Lurk in the shadows with fully-fledged stealth gameplay: Clandestine operations can be completed with muffled weapons, silent takedowns and cutting edge Cold War technology.
  • Take charge of the crucial counterintelligence operation: Recruit from both the KGB and the CIA, the criminal fraternity, or even utilise the unique talents of subjects of secret government experiments. Weapons, resources and contacts can be secured around the globe, enabling you to command from afar. But if the situation requires a hands-on approach, you will be locked, loaded and ready to fight.



  • Innovative Investigation Board: Utilizing a classic pinboard and string approach, the Investigation Board is the hub from where cases, locations and individuals can be researched to reveal new missions, resources and technologies. In Phantom Doctrine, investigation and intel is an active and vital element of success.
  • Multiplayer Battles: lose friends and make new enemies in ruthless online multiplayer matches. Experience the deviousness and lethality of Phantom Doctrine in accessible 1v1 skirmishes.
  • Utilize ruthless Technology: New capabilities can either be stolen from the enemy or researched, and then ruthlessly used to your advantage. Often experimental and morally dubious, brainwashing, interrogation, body engineering and chemical enhancement are all fair game as you extract information by any means necessary.
  • Fully customizable character creation: Operatives can be customized each time they need a new identity. Change their appearance, forge their documents, train them in the deadly arts and send them back into the field.



  • Carefully Designed hand-crafted levels: Combining the best of both worlds: the quality of large, hand-designed maps and meticulous, smart design ensuring visual and gameplay variety. Travel the world of the 1980s in the grip of the Cold War on both sides of the Iron Curtain.
  • Replayable modular campaign: a wide array of mechanics ensures markedly different playthroughs. A unique experience is guaranteed by randomly generated character names and backgrounds, algorithmically populated and adapted maps, and randomized intelligence snippets.
  • A spy thriller from two different points of view: Play as either a former KGB counterintelligence operative or a renegade CIA wet work commando. Each has to come to terms with the truth and challenge the global conspiracy. Complete the campaign to be rewarded with an additional protagonist in Extended Playthrough.
  • No mission is too big or too small: whether infiltrating a busy government facility to clinically assassinate a target, or mounting a full frontal assault on an enemy base. With optional objectives linked to a mission’s complexity, as well as loot and intelligence to collect, every decision has an impact.

Some tips for this game.

It's a good game. All missions can be finished without raising alert but some missions will take you more time to plan ahead while you play. I Save&Load a lot, which helps me to get familiar with the mechanics and I am planning on starting a new game without any s&l. In a word, this game has provided enough work around for you to discover and use in all missions. There is no single mission where I got stucked because I have chosen the wrong agents. Therefore, you can dive right into missions and spend more time to work it out or spend some time to plan ahead before every mission. This is what I like. Tips: 1. Standing behind doors can block enermies. 2. Standing right next to doors is a good way to defence. As closing/opening doors doesn't take any movement point, you can always open the door the shoot and close the door before you end this round. Doors can block sight so you won't get shot unless the enermy enters your room. 3. You can always BREACH to kill any enermies within sight, even though they are not in that ROOM you are about to breach into. All you need to do is mark those you want to kill. They will all be taken care off when they breach in. And don't forget to scout and mark civilians. 4. Don't interrupt any plot on killing the source. Do the assult every time, you will be able to free a very powerful agent(the source that is about to be assasinated). That agent will join you. 5. Shooting your enermy when standing right next to them is not dodgable. So if you can get to them without further exposing yourself, just run to them then shoot. 6. Any kind of one-shot-kill in silence will not raise the alert. So silence mode is very useful. Silenced pistol usually deals 100+ damage so it's also very useful in killing trash. But in late game, enermies especially agents have 130+HP. If you have a silence mode on sniper rifle, you can always equipe them on low HP agents and let them take a close-up sniper shot.

Great ideas, but....

Love the game basically, but the "No-Miss" mechanics don't do it for me. If you get hit from 300 yards away through two buildings - Come on, that's just ridiculous!

Fun and enjoyable

Absolutely fantastic. Whilst I agree that some mechanics are "different" to what people are used to, it only took me a few missions to learn how to overcome them.. The biggest issue I have found is the ambush missions. So far I have survived one and lost an agent to another. To be honest, whilst I love the concept, the number of enemies seemed a little overpowering. Even for me and I only play games on the hardest difficulty. Overall Very fun, and enjoyable. A good 9/10 from me.

Rough emerald

It has some pitfalls, as graphics and missions are repetitive, but the plot and atmosphere carries the day. It resembles Hard West, even to a point of less intuitive shooting mechanic and some twists to tactical scale. If you enjoyed HW as I did, Phantom Doctrine is a solid kick. Hopefully devs will add some more designs and subplots, but even at this stage is innovative and memorable. Not perfect, not brilliant, but memorable and worth playing.

Great game.

Haven't finished the game yet, but I do have quite a bit of hours in, and so far I have been enjoying pretty much all of it. Long story short, this is NOT (modern) X-Com with cold-war setting, I guess some people expected that, and have been having hard time to adopt to the new mechanics and emphasis of the game, instead of high octane action. Yes, the mechanics and design are very different in combat and stealth. This comes from a player that has invested 500 hours to X-Com 2 (Firaxis). Once I finish the game, I will update, but reading other reviews, people having problems with crashes and menus not working, haven't seen any of those. Stable, running well, no technical problems at all so far.
