Our take on Massive Assault: Phantom Renaissance
The store emphasis on campaigns, scenarios, and new units leaves the core Secret Allies concept less immediately clear. That system is central to the game's strategic identity, but its role in moment-to-moment play is not explained in the promotional summary.
What is Massive Assault: Phantom Renaissance?
Massive Assault: Phantom Renaissance is a turn-based strategy game about a renewed conflict between the Free Nations Union and Phantom League across distant space colonies.
Its Secret Allies concept shapes battles in which hidden allegiances affect strategic decisions. The game includes 6 new planets for World Wars, including large deathmatch maps, 2 Mega Campaigns, and 20 single-player scenarios with new mission types. An Assault mode adds another way to play. Computer opponents use varied profiles, while 10 side-specific units support different strategies. The game also includes a revised 3D presentation, additional battle music, and two viewing options: a camera styled after television news coverage and a 2D map modeled on historical atlases.
