About Phantom

✦ AI summary

Phantom is a hard sci-fi sandbox survival game where you build functional machines from basic physics-based blocks that actually move and interact with the world according to Newton's laws. Manage your single power source carefully to keep your creations alive and functioning, then use them to overcome environmental challenges—building everything from shelters and vehicles to elaborate traps and contraptions in an almost unlimited design sandbox.

What makes Phantom become a special sandbox survival game?



Nowadays, there are all kinds of survival games in the market. The basic rules are similar. The environment, the pressure of AI to characters, and the process of player to overcome these pressures through collecting, building and fighting.

Phantom has some different features; it can be said to distinguish the other survival games.
  • Phantom is a very unique style of hard science fiction survival game, the art style is different from most of the survival of game in the market.
  • A purely physical construction system, the vast majority of the survival of the construction of the game system is just a "shell", these "shell" cannot move! The Phantom construction system is different, if the player to build any purpose for a building or tool, the player needs to design by themselves, Phantom provides only the most basic "function block." Second, these "function blocks" all follow Newton's law, they are alive, players can interact with them. Then based on the construction system, in theory, the player can create any highly interactive things. Whether buildings, traps, vehicles, aircraft, rail cars, and even calculators can be designed and built, Phantom provide almost unlimited possibilities.
  • Human beings as the player of the survival game is a very natural choice, because here are a lot of human needs, to eat, drink, to moderate temperature, with physical constraints, and even guts and so on. But in the Phantom world, electricity is almost the only need to be considered. Although it seems to greatly simplify the survival part of the game, but in fact it is a challenge of the distribution and management of the electricity, because in the Phantom world to do almost everything needs electricity, alive need electricity, running, fighting, construction, and so on all rely on electricity. more terrible is that those who build the functional blocks are all in need of electricity to operate. Power is very limited, then how to allocate power according to the situation is to challenge the players.


When physical construction is combined with single source power survival, I believe that Phantom provides a unique gaming experience.

The idea of the game is great and that is why I gave it a thumbs up. Perhaps one day in a year or so this game might be really fun to play. As it is...It's lacking in a few things. So if you like the idea and want to support them I would consider getting the game while it's on sale. For the developers: There are serveral things that could be done to improve Phantom: 1. Fix the english so everything can be read in english. And you can skip on the swearing it doesn't make it funny or realistic, whichever one you were going for. 2. When you start out the game in the desert you start deep in a pit filled with junk, I would suggest that you either (1) make it so no robots spawn until you get out or (2) make it so the robots won't attack buildings. Let me explain further. The robots only come at night, but they will stay forever unless you destroy them and they are extremely hard to destroy even with a constant stream of power. That being said not only will they attack you, but they will attack and destroy anything that you have built, making it nearly impossible to play the game. 3. Make day and night more obvious. Make the switch between them almost instantly a…

I bought this game and spent 5 minutes in it and refunded. It will be A PERFECT VR GAME IF the developers add the ability to invert Y Axis and rebind the mouse/keyboard keys. As soon, or if, these features are added, I will repurchase. Furthermore, make the worldspace at least close to Conan Exiles, or as big as Subnautica.

[h1] ⚠️WARNING: This game is abandoned ⚠️ [/h1] I bought the game because the trailer was very interesting, I hoped the reviews weren't still true. Sadly this game is indeed abandoned and not fully playable at its current state (frequent crashes, missing content compared to trailers, tedious to play). I wish the devs will pick up the game development again because the concept is very cool and it's a shame they stopped working on it out of nowhere. [h1] Score [/h1] Idea/trailer: 9/10 Current game: 1/10
