Read the full game description
Phantom Epoch is a cooperative tactical campaign game that sends one to four players across the remnants of a vanished galactic empire. Crews develop distinct classes, improve decks and equipment, and fight scenario-driven battles against adversaries with their own priorities. A dynamic initiative system keeps turn order fluid, while persistent choices, branching missions, and unlockable abilities carry consequences from one expedition to the next across more than forty missions.
