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.

Intelligence Services

A great game about secret agents with strategic and tactical depth. Yes It has some small flaws (languages and other minor issues), but developers take updates frequently solving problems. it will become over time the best simulation of Intelligence Services in the market I like very much. Very good work Devs

Great game for good money

Playing for 1 whole day and for me it is like smart connections between Commandos 2 + XCOM + Silent Storm2 :) I can recommend it because the price is right for this product, hopefully Devs will polish it some more and add some content in the future. For most missions I use stealth tactics, going throught missions without shooting.When shooting begins it is quite weird seeing enemeies shooting throught end of the map (if they see you, throught glass wals and such), but do remember to keep You focus high and keep in cover, surely you will see some nice action.

Not Ready for Release

This game was release 6 months too early, and did not receive any meaningful QA review. In addition to the many bugs you'll come across, the combat system is completely broken. The development team managed to completely misunderstand how basic LoS/LoF should work, and created a 'solution' which is actually a game-shatteringly awful problem. In addition to this, they managed to created an RNG-free shooting system where *everyone* just shoots each other until someone drops. The tactical part of the game - which is the biggest draw - is simply not fun, and not up to the standards we expect in 2018.

Not really XCOM game, but enjoyable

I'm only a couple of hours in, so still a lot to explore, but so far I've been enjoying it a lot. The biggest mistake I've made in the beginning was treating it like XCOM2. It's a totally different game, so don't do it! Personally I would compare it to the good old Commandos from 1998. It's all about sneaking, planning and quietly disposing the guards. Open assault is pretty much a suicide (although not avoidable entirely). It feels a little unpolished and I'm hoping it will get improved in the upcoming patches. Dying to try out the 1.0.3 which fixes the LOS issue most people complain about - I understand the point of it is making the open assault nearly impossible, but enemies hitting across the whole map through 3 windows when you couldn't suspect they can see you just kills the mood. I'd rather be insta-killed in a clear shot situation than suffer those shots. I would like to be able to skip the evac videos and just speed up the game a little. Much more turns are taken during a mission than in xcom (due to a lot of sneaking/exploring), so I think something could be done to improve the speed. Also the interface doesn't explain the hotkeys, which are quite crucial (at least knowing that Backspace ends the turn!) All in all - if you like Commandos and XCOM, you're gonna like it - but this game is less about shooting and more about planning and sneaking.

Great potenial with unfair mechanic

This game has so crappy hit models that makes it completely unplayable. It has many great elements but because of disproportion between damage of your agents and your enemies every combat is unfair. They are always better and it's not because of skills of my agents but just beacuse. I strongly not reccoment until this aspect will be fixed
