When it comes to turn-based tactical strategy there’s no doubt that emulating the X-Com mold from the PC space is a smart way to go. That said, the various attempts (short of Mario and the Rabbids) to make this sort of experience work on the Switch have been a bit half-baked. Coming in somewhere in the middle to the bottom of the pile we have Phantom Doctrine, which tries to build some intrigue with its cloak and dagger feel. While what is going on outside of the missions themselves can be interesting (though perhaps a bit confusing as you try to get your bearings) when you’re in the action the interface and mechanics feel pretty clunky and detract from the experience.
