The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived! Today marks the launch of Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero from NIS America, ready to set sail on both PlayStation and the Nintendo Switch. Excited? You should be! Let’s dive into what makes this game a must-play.
In this vibrant strategy RPG, we meet Marona, an extraordinary young girl with the unique gift of communicating with Phantoms. Her journey unfolds across the oceanic world of Ivoire, where she helps those in need. However, when ghost ships suddenly launch an attack, Marona finds herself tasked with reuniting the legendary crew that once vanquished these haunting adversaries. Teaming up with her new ally, Apricot, Marona sets out to assemble the forces required to confront this spectral menace.
In Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero, you won’t be following a conventional playbook. This strategy RPG tosses the rulebook overboard with its gridless maps, offering free movement and innovative mechanics. You’ll bring Phantom squad members into battle by "Confining" their souls to various objects scattered across the map. What you choose affects their stats and abilities, making strategy key. Moreover, these Phantoms can merge with special gadgets, delivering powerful blows with thoughtful precision.
Marona is more than just a guide. By “Confriending” with Phantoms, she can morph her appearance and unlock special powers, adding even more depth and excitement to battles.
Here’s what you can look forward to with this release:
