The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived! Today, Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero by NIS America makes its exciting debut on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. It’s time to dive in and explore what this game has to offer!
Imagine setting sail in a vibrant strategy RPG world, where you join Marona—a remarkable girl with a unique gift: the ability to communicate with Phantoms. Together with her new companion, Apricot, Marona sets out across the oceanic realm of Ivoire to lend a helping hand wherever needed. Their skills are put to the test when ghost ships strike, and it’s up to them to rally the legendary crew that once vanquished these spectral adversaries.
In your journey, you can recruit Phantoms, bind their spirits to objects, combine them with gadgets, and even merge them with Marona herself. This not only enhances your arsenal but also allows you to unleash impressive abilities needed to thwart the ghostly Shipwreck Fleet!
The game’s intriguing twist centers on Marona, a determined young girl who can converse with Phantoms—those souls who have already moved on. Accompanied by Ash, her Phantom friend, she navigates the Ivoire to help those who cross her path. When ghost ships wreak havoc and separate the duo, Marona and Apricot must gather the mythical team that previously defeated the fleet.
Introducing an unconventional Strategy RPG approach, Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero presents gameplay that deviates from traditional norms, with its gridless maps offering freedom of movement. Calling upon your Phantom allies during battles becomes strategic as you "Confine" their souls to objects scattered throughout the map. The choice of objects affects the Phantoms’ stats, and they can unite with special gadgets for powerful, albeit slower attacks.
Moreover, Marona’s ability to "Confriend" with Phantoms allows her to transform her appearance, giving access to unique attacks that add richness to the gameplay.
Some key features make Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero stand out:
Play It Your Way: Craft your ideal team from over 50 different unit types and unleash them in combat scenarios fueled by your creativity and strategic thinking.
Phantom Possession: Engage in tactical, turn-based RPG battles using the Confine system, letting befriended Phantoms combine with and animate items, battling alongside you in unique ways.
Light-hearted Adventure: Though Marona is on a quest to rescue her dear friend Ash, the journey is sprinkled with moments of joy, exploration, and the forging of new friendships along the way.
