Since #PhantomBrigade 2.0 released I have been playing it again and it's a blast! All the gripes I had with the original version are gone and it finally is the game I wanted it to be when it launched. Good job @braceyourselfgames.com for supporting it so long after release!

This update is incredible. I've played a ton of Phantom Brigade this weekend since the 2.0 patch hit. It's AWESOME. Do you like XCom level tactics/campaign/management? Do you like Mechs? Do you like a big campaign of liberation?! You NEED to play this game if any of the above remotely appeal!

I was stuck in a "just one more mission" loop last night and played maybe 3 hours more than I originally intended to. Great combat and customisation, and just about the right amount of granularity for me (bit more than modern XCOM but not as hardcore as actual hardcore mech/sim games)

Back in early 2023, I reviewed Phantom Brigade. A game I was very excited for, but came away a little disappointed. It wasn't *bad* - it had good bones - but not much meat or fat on it.
Nearly 3 years later, V2.0 just rolled out. A massive, great overhaul. I'd easily bump that score up 15+ points.
