It’s the Perfect Time to Join Phantom Squad
Phantom Squad from Super Rare Originals and Ctrl Freak has received its biggest discount yet with a limited-time Steam Daily Deal. This marks the lowest price so far for the tactical top-down shooter, giving new players the perfect opportunity to jump in. Since launch, the team has rolled out major updates as part of the game’s roadmap, adding fresh content and expanding its tactical depth.
The game now features three new modes that challenge players in different ways. T-Hunt delivers the core tactical combat fans love, but introduces randomized enemies and door placements to keep familiar maps unpredictable and highly replayable. Hostage Rescue shifts the focus to swift, coordinated extractions, tasking squads with securing captives while pushing through hostile resistance. Bomb Defusal raises the stakes even further, forcing players to locate and defuse bomb sites against the clock while neutralizing threats under pressure. Players unlock these modes after completing each mission.
Phantom Squad also now features online public matchmaking, making it easier than ever to form a squad. Players can join teams that lean toward either methodical tactical play or more action-driven approaches. Built-in voice chat and the A.C.E. system help squads coordinate strategies and execute plans efficiently.
To further refine the experience, the developers introduced two new difficulty settings. Rookie Mode offers a more forgiving solo experience and a chance to master maps and gadgets. Hardcore Mode, on the other hand, demands elite teamwork, sharp communication, and flawless execution to survive.
