Asking for half a million in crowdfunding
Phoenix Pointis a “turn-based tactics and world-based strategy game” from the creator of the originalX-COM, Julian Gollop. The project is seeking $500,000 infunding on Figand meant to release at the end of 2018.
“We are creatingPhoenix Pointby taking influences from the famedX-COMfranchise. We are updating our favorite gameplay features fromX-COMtitles such asUFO: Enemy UnknownandX-COM Apocalypsethat I designed, and mixing them with some of the amazing ideas Firaxis Games executed brilliantly in their franchise reboots, to create an entirely new game whose essence lies in theXCOMgenre,” Gollop said.
Taking stock in what Firaxis has done well with the series is smart. And I like the Cronenberg’d-up world and monsters; incidentally, I recommend watching the recent practical-effects-filled horror movieThe Void.
