About Phantom Brigade
Phantom Brigade is a cinematic, tactical mech strategy game that lets you predict enemy movements on a timeline and execute real‑time physics‑based attacks. You recruit rebels, level them, and fight to liberate the war‑torn world of Fyrland from Kaskad occupation.

Extensive Customization
Phantom Brigade offers a rich customization system for mech performance, equipment selection, and cosmetic options. Players can fine‑tune weapons, armor, and subsystems to suit any challenge.

Strategic Tactical Combat
Combat uses a timeline‑based command system where you predict enemy actions, plot counter‑measures, and hit “execute” for real‑time physics action. Every square meter of the battle map is destructible, allowing you to shatter cover and collapse buildings. High‑level decisions on the world map, mobile base management, and limited resources add strategic depth to each mission.
- Use environment destruction to remove enemy cover.
- Plan timeline actions early to maximize counter‑attack windows.
