About:

Phoenix Point features a tech/research tree and various missions that differ based on faction alliances. Learn more about the standard game version.

Phoenix Point is a game similar to XCOM, but it significantly differs with its faction system. You can choose to ally with or battle against various factions, which directly impacts the research options and missions available to you. The game features five separate endings: three are tied to specific factions, one is a 'Phoenix' ending, and the final one is achieved when the ODI (a percentage displayed on the top right of your HUD (Heads-Up Display)) reaches 100%.

Note: All information presented here pertains to the standard version of Phoenix Point. Content included in any DLC (Downloadable Content) is not covered.

The details provided have been gathered from personal gameplay experiences and extensive review of YouTube videos.

Warning: Gameplay can vary significantly between playthroughs, meaning not all missions and research options may be documented here. Efforts have been made to include as much detail as possible.
