XCOM creator Julian Gollop has revealed his next game. It's called Phoenix Point, and it will offer turn-based tactical combat with an overall "world-based" strategy element.
Your soldiers can target specific parts of a monster to achieve different effects. The Crab Queen has a black mist ejecter in its abdomen. If it is disabled the queen will no longer be able to eject mist which summons reinforcements and gives them cover. Shooting out its face will send it into a blind frenzy, rendering it unable to direct attacks or movement.
Looks good, design and idea.. Just the thing about the virus mutating the earthly life forms, doesn't mix with them having some sort of mechanical guns, does it?
except that looks fine

Maybe they stole the guns off of military vehicles.
Julian Gollop, one of the creators of the original X-COM series, is taking to Fig to crowdfund his next strategy game, Phoenix Point.
At the moment, access to the Fig campaign is limited to those who have already supported a project on the platform, and Gollop is aiming to raise $500,000 to bring the project to life. Phoenix Point has already been in development for over a year, first being announced in March 2016, with the first media emerging in June last year.
Well moving and firing with a sniper rifle in a single turn is different from nu-XCom at least. Seems like it's all a mockup at this point, but that could point towards time units (or at least more flexibility).
I'm glad he is going with a realistic style (well aside from vagina monsters I guess). One of the things I dislike about nu-XCom is the overly cartoony style, although they did dial this back a lot in XCom 2.
I thought I was done with crowdfunding, but maybe this will be the last hurrah.
