    Provided the rest of the game keeps up with its strong opening, Phantom Doctrine is very well set up to be one of this year’s pleasant surprises and one that strategy fans be will happy to sink many hours into throughout multiple campaigns.

Nice to see a game that requires though and planning to play well. Really having a lot of fun with this.… Full Review »
