Critic Reviews
Phantom Doctrine review
A promising setting and clever systems are let down by simple enemies, simpler characters, and strange balancing.
62%Phantom Doctrine Review – Spy Simulator in X-COM Wrapper
Phantom Doctrine is the closest we ever got so far to a true spy simulator. With both tactical and strategic missions, deep and complex mechanics, and investigation features, playing the game will make players truly feel in control of a secret organization out to save the world from the mostly deadly world conspiracy ever. The game gets a bit too complex at times, however, so it is definitely not a game for everyone.
