The anticipation is over—today marks the arrival of Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero from NIS America on both the PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. If you’re excited about strategy RPGs, this is worth checking out!
Imagine setting sail on a vibrant adventure to safeguard the world. You follow the journey of Marona, an extraordinary girl with a unique gift to communicate with Phantoms. With the vast ocean of Ivoire as her playground, she offers help wherever it’s needed. But things take a turn when ghost ships invade, prompting Marona and her new ally, Apricot, to rally a legendary team that once vanquished these eerie vessels.
In this intriguing game, you’ll enlist Phantoms, bind them to various objects, and enhance their powers using Gadgets. You can even combine them with Marona herself to unleash mighty abilities capable of sinking the formidable Shipwreck Fleet.
Marona is a resilient protagonist whose gift allows her to resonate with the spirits of the departed. Joined by her faithful companion, Phantom Ash, she navigates the treacherous waters of Ivoire to lend aid where it’s needed most. But when the ghost ships strike and separate them, Marona must join forces with Apricot to reunite the formidable crew and vanquish the spectral menace.
What sets Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero apart is its unconventional approach to the Strategy RPG genre, offering free movement without the constraints of a grid. During combat, you can summon your Phantom allies by "Confining" their souls into objects scattered across the battleground. The choice of object influences their stats, allowing for strategic depth.
Additionally, Phantoms can harness special gadgets for powerful, albeit slow, attacks. Marona herself can "Confriend" with Phantoms, transforming her appearance and unlocking unique special attacks!
Let’s dive into the highlights of Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero. The game empowers you to tailor your gameplay experience—craft a team from over 50 unit types and unleash them in battle. Your strategic creativity is the only limit here.
Utilize the innovative Confine system, enabling your allied Phantoms to possess and integrate with items, fighting by your side in tactical turn-based battles. The journey isn’t all serious, though; as Marona sets off to save her friend Ash, she’ll stumble upon fun adventures and form new friendships.
