Phoenix Point Alpha Gameplay Footage

IGN has released the gameplay video promised in the previous Fig update for Phoenix Point. The 8 minute video pits Julian Gollop, the original creator of X-COM, against a giant alien queen and some crab people.

The presented Alpha gameplay looks heavily inspired by Firaxis’ XCOM 2, albeit with more depth to some of its systems. Units return fire when shot at, you can target separate body parts of your enemies, and spend Will points to extend your own units’ actions. Check it out:
