Phantom Division Info

The Disintegrators can all use Hyperflex which is basically what pulls off those crazy multi-flick shots. It's a lot of fun and can get you out of some real jams. It's also kind of "easy mode" although the starter rifles are very loud.

I am hoping the setup time won't be too bad. I theorize that people could play many times before they match the amount of time they spent building the STF walls one time.

It took me 11 minutes to completely set everything up, all inclusive.

So, I don’t know if that’s a big deal or not, but that included setting it up, organizing the stuff so it looked clean, equipping weapons, drawing and placing enemies, and putting the rest back in the box.

11 minutes

SHOWSTOPPER. If I can't set up a game in 75 seconds it is DEAD TO ME!

Next you'll tell me it doesn't play six, have solo rules and come with a multi-layer insert.

lol it does play 6, and being co-op is solo-able. Not sure on that insert

Still time to make that change. This game has two, maybe three more kickstarters in it before you have to decide!

Do you guys think that Phantom Division is a big enough difference to skip Seal Team Flix? I found a good deal for Flix on GeekMarket ($27 plus shipping) and I'm very tempted. I'm just worried I would get burnt out on both games, plus my copy of Catacombs. Also, how good is Flix for solo play? Might be the only way I get the game played for a while.

Flix is great solo.

Phantom Division is far superior to STF. But you will not be playing Phantom Division until some unspecified time in 2024. For $27, there is a lot of time to enjoy STF.

That is one beautifully crafted piece of diplomacy right there.

lol, just being practical. And I won't see a dime from that STF sale anyway.

After far too long, the Phantom Division Gamefound pre-launch page has gone up. There is very little on it at the moment, but it is my understanding that there will be a free gift for following the campaign ahead of launch.

I expect 3 months before launch but none of that is in my control.

Looks like Phantom Division is moving to Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/phantomhorizon/phantom-division

Not sure if this is a marketing move or something else. Also curious how the ambiguously created AI art will be received this time around.

Regardless, I'm still in...

I believe the chief impetus behind the switch to be that Kickstarter gave the publisher a very sweet deal.

A lot of art is being redone, so hopefully that goes well too. I personally am frustrated that this has drug on for so long.

Aron posted the following over on TOS, which adds a little more color:

Without getting into too much detail on a public forum, I had an opportunity to meet with a senior executive from Kickstarter who really likes our games / projects. He didn't want a 10+ year creator to leave their platform and persuaded us to stay. Truthfully, I wasn't expecting this, but here we are.

Wonder if they're still reeling from CMON's departure...
