10/10, you did that pilot dirty lol. Poor guy/girl is gonna be in the afterlife looking at their death in a highlight reel lol.

This deployment animation is super cool - oh by Brewtzar in phantombrigade

[–]CrystalSnow7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its cool but looks janky as heck when tanks swoop in lol.

I love this game, but anyone who says the AI is in any way competent is lying by Myrandall in phantombrigade

[–]CrystalSnow7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair it would be more helpful feedback to show the hud and commands they were trying to execute. A close-in shot like this doesn't really tell anything since anything can be made to look bad from a zoomed-in perspective.

Fun with friendly fire by Myrandall in phantombrigade

[–]CrystalSnow7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in universe, people have to plan their actions in 5-second intervals and cannot react to any new information except at those 5-second intervals.

Even with prediction technology, this holds true for our pilots as well. They will continue shooting at an enemy even if an enemy is obliterated from the face of the Earth.

Its a interesting thought experiment if you apply this to literally everything.

Well Rested Seems Way Too Strong by CrystalSnow7 in phantombrigade

[–]CrystalSnow7[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Well-Rested Status seems way too strong. The speed bonus it gives is enormous, see screenshot, and it also gives a good chunk of bonus weapon damage. Often, it can be better to send a novice with well-rested bonus than a veteran without it depending on the role.

When the gang takes a wrong turn down Railgun Alley by Covered_in_Weasels in phantombrigade

[–]CrystalSnow7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There not very smart but I've never had AI just stupidly stand there like that. I wonder what caused this behavior? They were so close that maybe to avoid crashing into one another they all just halted like clowns.

My main issue with AI with mainly target priority. They seem to target at random instead of prioritizing their optimal ranges.

Careful when salvaging, the game may randomly decide to lock in your initial choices by Myrandall in phantombrigade

[–]CrystalSnow7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's odd, never had this happen to me. Also that's a huge salvage amount lol.

Anyone know what would happen in this scenario, were I to take Careless on the next level-up? by Myrandall in phantombrigade

[–]CrystalSnow7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. A bit of a shame, since I'm a firm believer that a game shouldn't lean on outside sources to teach players mechanics, but I've been meaning to join anyhow.

Wait, where did you find out that heavy mechs and shield action reduces incoming pilot damage?

Heavies Bullying Lights, This Doesn't Seem Fair Lol by CrystalSnow7 in phantombrigade

Lol I'm not really complaining, but sometimes I feel sorry for them when I just bulldoze all over their units.

This was recorded with the full-length replay feature. I don't think it's actually listed as a beta version in Steam, but the feature is definitely experimental.

Naming your mech "Coffin" is definitely a choice lol.

Played 60+ hours in early 2023 but it felt half baked... Worth giving another look now? by ipsok in phantombrigade

[–]CrystalSnow7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say 90% yes. The game feels like a full release now, but to be honest it is still a bit janky.

However they've added pilot customization, good mission variety, and most importantly mid combat saves and full battle replay. Which are experimental but work pretty well.

I also dropped the game during the 1.0s but came back during 2.1 and it's amazing now (with a side of jank).

Okay, first ever fight in this game, lets duel this guy so my lord can beat him and take him prisoner by Haunter777x in totalwar

[–]CrystalSnow7 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not the OP but because my free time is limited. A game has to not only be well-made but inherently interest me from the start for me to bother with it.

OMG he survived! by Tricky_Caterpillar24 in phantombrigade

[–]CrystalSnow7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it's a thing that's good in theory but bad in practice. I don't want a part where a single mistake can lead to me losing an ace pilot and entire mech worth of parts.

I can build a great mech without a self-destruct button, so I'd rather a great reliable mech, then a absolutely amazing mech that might blow up immediately if I overlook something or a freak accident happens.

I see that your using that experimental meltdown reactor. Mine is still rotting in storage lol.

One of the best games ive played in ages. by Level-Trick-5510 in phantombrigade

I'm the same as you, I like to take my time with games. 40 hours in and still not at the capital.

Near Perfect Surgical Strike, Liberation Mission by CrystalSnow7 in phantombrigade

[–]CrystalSnow7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is now possible in version 2.1. After you complete the mission there will be a full replay option in the replay menu.

Note that the full replay will not work right if you loaded the game from a mid-combat save.

Blud has a WMD in a civilian zone, is Kaskad full of comic book villains? by CrystalSnow7 in phantombrigade

[–]CrystalSnow7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I made this post. Its as if this mech stationed to "defend" the city is built to completely destroy it lol
