We at Snapshot Games are honored that the PHOENIX RISING team has dedicated so much time and effort into customizing our game Phoenix Point.

Find out more about the mod’s key features below:
Mod Features
A complete reworking of the Phoenix Point campaign, with new characters, story, events and reports, and integrated and rationalised in-game lore, including a revamped Oneiric Delirium from the original release. Written by and for sci-fi horror fans!
Completely redesigned classes, focusing on sharply defined fighting roles and strong class identities, and on removing and re-balancing overpowered synergies from the vanilla classes.
Fight the nightmarish doubles and replicas of your deceased comrades! Revenants are special Pandoran combat forms invested with the mutilated consciousness of your fallen heroes – they will hunt you relentlessly over the course of your campaign!
Modular campaign settings, with both very easy and nightmarishly difficult settings, and more than 20 toggles that allow you to fine tune your playthrough to your liking.
Total rework of Legacy of the Ancients; redesigned missions, automata, and ancient weapons, with unique mechanics and reworked lore integration.
Total rework of Kaos Engines; massively expanded marketplace that will now sell you faction research, re-balanced Kaos weaponry, and mercenary soldiers with unique gear and abilities! Vehicles and modules have undergone an extensive redesign, with a focus on expanding and specialising their roles over the course of a campaign.
All other DLCs have been rebalanced or reintegrated
A series of UI changes and QOL improvements - loadable soldier loadouts, helmet visibility toggles, and more!
A reworked final mission, with new mechanics and access to unique support troops depending on your factional alliances.
Void Omens! Semi-randomised modifiers to your strategic campaign, that represent humanity’s slide into a waking nightmare.
AI fixes, a stealth overhaul, over 50 vanilla bug fixes, and many, many more features. Terror from the Void is a true reimagining of the vanilla experience from the ground up, made by fans who love Phoenix Point.
Mod Vision
Phoenix Point was a visionary game from an acknowledged master in the genre.
Terror from the Void takes that vision and runs with it, asking the question: what more could be done in terms of balancing and harmonizing the base game and the DLC content? How could the systems be adjusted with reference to experienced TBT players who value interesting tactical decision-making, while also making the game even more enjoyable for novice players? If the original horror setting was pushed into and explored more fully?
This is a total conversion, created by fans for fans, that seeks to realize the untapped potential in the original product, and elevate one of the hidden gems of the genre by polishing, streamlining, and, where necessary, re-imagining the original. The scope of the work cannot be overstated, and the points above are only a rough guide to the changes. Almost every system has been touched, chopped, and changed, with an insistence on maintaining the original feeling and identity of the product.
Terror from the Void has been built in the grand tradition of fan reworks in the TBT space. Our community response during the open beta has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are enormously proud of our product. We invite you to once again pick up your Ares AR-1, stare into the abyss, and embrace entropy and madness in Terror from the Void, available now on Steam workshop, and on GitHub for the Epic Games Store and GOG editions.
Soul-rending truths and black, indifferent cosmic vistas await you… Director.
