ONLINE MATCHMAKING
Phantom Squad now includes online public matchmaking for seamless, squad-based play. You have the choice between joining a team that focuses on either tactical gameplay or action.
If you don’t have a squad ready to deploy, jump into another team to get the mission started! Communicate with your teammates using voice and the in-game A.C.E system to plan and execute your tactics.

DIFFICULTY OPTIONS
Phantom Squad expands its tactical experience with two new difficulty options!
Rookie Mode will be an easier time when playing solo, and provide a great way to get used to the maps. You can test out unlocked gadgets in a live fire environment as you perfect your skills and tactics.
Hardcore Mode will really test those tactical minds! All enemies will be a dangerous threat, and it will require elite communication and teamwork to succeed.

About Ctrl Freak
As a teenager, Jérôme was captivated by crafting flawless plans in the early Rainbow Six games, sparking his desire to recreate that tactical thrill combined with a “not-too-serious” vibe: fast-paced, fun, and intense shooting action. With 15 years of professional experience in software development across various business fields in French companies and a decade of game development as a hobby, Jérôme began prototyping his dream project, Phantom Squad, collaborating with his co-op gamer friends to experiment and refine his ideas.
Phantom Squad pays homage to games that Jérôme regards as genre-definers; the chaotic gunplay of Hotline Miami, tactical planning and strategising from SWAT 4 and Ready or Not. It’s built to immerse 2-4 players in a cooperative blend of precision and chaos. Using real-time collaborative tools, players can gather intel with tactical gadgets, spot enemies, and communicate through voice chat to mark paths, blind spots, and areas of concern directly on interactive blueprints. Each mission challenges players to sketch out their best short-term plans right in-game, but it’s all about adapting on the fly when things go sideways.
