Phantom Squad
Critic Reviews for Phantom Squad
Phantom Squad, while decent in its own right, is seriously lacking compared to its contemporaries.
Phantom Squad enters the tactical shooter genre with a promise of tense infiltration missions, sleek squad-based mechanics, and a high-tech modern warfare backdrop. Developed by Ctrl Freak and published by Super Rare Originals, it caters to fans of stealth-heavy gameplay and squad control, offering a hybrid of real-time tactics and third-person action. But does it deliver on its black-ops fantasy, or does it get lost in the fog of war?
Phantom Squad is a stiff challenge that will give tactic-heads a lot of trouble, but in the best way.
From a solo player's perspective, Phantom Squad is a frustrating and unbalanced trial of patience that doesn't pay off enough to make it worth it. Rope in a couple of friends to squad up though, and the game completely transforms into an intense, intricately designed and frantic sandbox to have a blast in. Just make sure you don't go it alone, this unit was meant for a team, not an individual.
