About
Phoenix Point (2019) is a strategy game from the creator of the original X-COM series, combining turn-based tactical combat with world-based strategy elements. You'll face off against an alien threat that evolves and adapts throughout the campaign, requiring careful planning and resource management alongside real-time battle decisions. The blend of deep strategic gameplay with engaging squad-based tactics makes it a solid choice for fans of the genre.
Phoenix Point is quite accessible from a performance standpoint, making it easy to benchmark across various PC builds. The game runs smoothly on entry-level GPUs with a minimum score around 4875, and 8 GB of RAM is sufficient for stable performance. Most modern GPUs will handle high FPS and maxed graphics settings without difficulty, meaning you won't need cutting-edge hardware to experience solid performance and high frame rates.
If you enjoy tactical strategy games, Phoenix Point offers compelling gameplay that rewards thoughtful planning. However, the game received a moderate 60/100 rating, so consider watching gameplay footage first to ensure the pacing and mechanics align with your preferences.
Performance profile
December 2019 release. Phoenix Point was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.
As a strategy title, Phoenix Point is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.
Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Phoenix Point; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.
Storyline
An unusual virus discovered in melting permafrost excites the scientific community. It has a massive genome, and only 1% of its genes match anything in existing databases. “What the hell is going on with the other genes?” asks researcher Jean-Michel Moreau. “This opens a Pandora’s box. What kinds of discoveries are going to come from studying the contents?” The seas transform in something totally alien. Then the mutagens began to invade the land via an airborne microbial mist. The human population has been decimated. Survivors gather in isolated havens spread throughout the world. A few factions control most of the havens and resources, but they have radically contrasting ideologies and guard deep secrets. The Phoenix Project is a worldwide organisation designed to be activated when the world is in peril. You control one cell of the organisation, gathering some of the world’s best scientists, engineers and soldiers. After your cell is activated, you realise that you have no contact with any other cells. You need to find out what happened to them.
