July 18th, 2025 - London, UK - Super Rare Originals and developer Ctrl Freak are excited to launch Phantom Squad today on Steam!
Phantom Squad is a real-time tactical strategy shooter that can be played in single player, but shines brightest when played in co-op with friends. Team up in a squad of up to 4 operatives to complete missions and save hostages through 11 distinct levels. Each mission has a puzzle element to it, where you need to decide how to engage the enemy, the best vantage points, and utilizing the right tools to get the job done.
- Tactical Pre-Planning: Plot your route, mark objectives and coordinate entry points before moving in.
- Friendly Fire: Stay sharp! Accidental shots can take out teammates, making communication and precision critical.
- Realistic Combat: Face deadly, precision-based gunfights with no room for mistakes. Pick your weapon from 13 options depending on your strategy.
- Specialized Gear: Use a diverse arsenal of over 20 specialised gadgets to outsmart, outmaneuver and overpower your enemies.
- Dynamic Maps: Plan your approach in environments that are always shifting, ensuring no two missions are the same.
- Co-Op Teamwork: Coordinate in 4-player co-op, each taking on a unique role to execute the perfect strategy.

ASSAULT COORDINATION ENGINE
The Assault Coordination Engine (A.C.E.) is key to your success as a member of the Phantom Squad. Get an overview of the current mission and the layout of the terrain, allowing you to plan to attack from multiple vantage points. By working with your squad, draw directly onto the A.C.E. using pen lines and tactical icons to design the perfect approach.
The A.C.E. system also works seamlessly with your gadgets, letting you pin enemy positions and seeing them directly on you and your teammates maps. You are certainly outnumbered, but the A.C.E. gives you a huge tactical advantage.
