What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Phobies is a tactical turn-based strategy game that blends map-based positioning with resource management and chess-like decision-making, earning strong praise from players who enjoy the genre. Common complaints center on grinding requirements, level gaps that can disadvantage skilled players, and monetization that some feel is too aggressive, particularly around currency rewards and pack pricing. Most players still recommend it despite these concerns, suggesting it's worth trying, especially for tactical game enthusiasts willing to tolerate the progression system.

if you love tactical turn based game this will be a top tier pick but be aware of level gaps if you're better than a average player.
Not recommended Sep 17, 2026
A fantastic successor to Hero Academy in every way, except monetization and grind.
Recommended Sep 14, 2026
it has the map-based gameplay of TF2, the in-match spending and conserving of currency of clash royale, and the positioning and plays of chess. yup, i'm in love with this game

Very good
Recommended Sep 13, 2026
it does get a lil grindy sometimes but it is still really good. i do feel you rank up too fast and i feel you should get a bit more vendy bucks or make the pack costs less maybe. i do still really like the game, music, and art style.
