Well, there are a few things working against you. The odds are stacked so high against you and your handful of mechs that it should be all but impossible, but you have an ace in the hole: a highly advanced computer that predicts where your enemies will be and what they will do, enabling you to make the perfect moves to counter them. The story of Phantom Brigade is that you are leading a vastly outnumbered and outgunned resistance force on a campaign to retake your homeland. Wait, Go Back To The Mechs Who Can See The Future But, no, it turns out that they’re a tiny company from Vancouver with some big dreams.

I’d seen the booth in passing, but hadn’t stopped in before our scheduled interview. That was the conversation that Wyatt and I had as we made our way to Brace Yourself Games’s booth at PAX East.

Phantom Brigade has a team of about five developers working on it maybe about 15 people total? They’ve just been working on it for years.”
