The anticipation is finally over for fans of strategy RPGs! Today, NIS America releases Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero on both PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. It’s time to dive into this vibrant world!
Embark on a heroic journey in this enchanting strategy RPG, where you’ll meet Marona, a spirited young girl with the unique ability to communicate with Phantoms. As she navigates the oceanic realms of Ivoire, Marona uses her gifts to help those in distress. When ghostly fleets threaten the peace, it’s up to her and her newfound ally, Apricot, to gather a legendary team to fend off these ethereal adversaries once more.
In your quest, you’ll have the opportunity to recruit Phantoms and bind them to various objects, use inventive gadgets, and even merge them with Marona for spectacular abilities that will help thwart the eerie Shipwreck Fleet. Marona isn’t alone in this adventure; her cherished friend, the Phantom Ash, is by her side as they voyage through Ivoire, assisting those who need it most.
Yet, their mission is complicated when Marona and Apricot are separated by ghost ship attacks. They must assemble the once-victorious crew to combat the looming threat. Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero stands out for its distinctive approach to the Strategy RPG genre, employing a free-movement system instead of a traditional grid. During combat, summon your Phantom comrades by "Confining" their souls to objects across the battlefield. Your choice of objects determines each Phantom’s stats, while combining them with gadget items allows for powerful yet deliberately paced attacks.
Beyond this, Marona has a unique power called "Confriend," enabling her to morph into different forms and unleash special attacks.
Now, let’s explore the fantastic features of Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero!
- Play It Your Way: Curate a battalion from over 50 different unit types, and unleash your creativity as you orchestrate battles in countless unique ways.
- Phantom Possession: Engage in tactical, turn-based RPG skirmishes through the Confine system. This feature lets your befriended Phantoms possess items, joining you in your battles.
