Ending one of your agent’s movement turns early to scope out a location is a lot better dooming your entire crew. Unlike most actions in the game, this one doesn’t cost anything, so you can swing that door open and closed to your heart’s content. A prompt will pop up allowing you to open the door and get a sneak peek. Instead of gambling that there won’t be a soldier in the next restricted room (Murphy’s Law dictates there will be), park your agent to the side of the door instead.

Like any good turn-based tactical strategy game, Phantom Doctrine won’t show you what’s in a room unless you’ve got a direct line of sight. Aside from a few story missions, all of Phantom Doctrine’s missions can be completed stealthily, so stick to the shadows whenever you can.ĭon’t just go barging through doors willy-nilly. Disable security cameras, stay out of restricted areas if NPCs can see you, and don’t leave bodies all over the place. As such, you should do everything in your power to remain in Infiltration mode. Combat in Phantom Doctrine is particularly punishing – once the enemy is alerted to your presence, they will continuously bring in reinforcements until your agents are killed or escape.
