Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero Now Available on Consoles

The excitement is palpable! NIS America has just rolled out their latest gem, Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero, available today on both PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. You’re definitely going to want to dive into this one.

Imagine setting sail on a vibrant journey in this captivating strategy RPG. You’ll accompany Marona, a talented young girl endowed with the unique ability to communicate with Phantoms—spirits from the other side. Her journey takes her across the expansive ocean world of Ivoire, where she offers assistance to those in dire straits. But when a phantom fleet of ghost ships wreaks havoc, it’s up to Marona and her newfound ally, Apricot, to band together a legendary crew that’s faced these spectral adversaries before.

In the heat of battle, you’ll recruit Phantoms and bind them to objects, using an inventive mix of Gadgets to unleash spectacular abilities. You can even merge them with Marona for some seriously jaw-dropping moves to take down what’s known as the Shipwreck Fleet!

Marona’s tale is one of heroism and magic. With her spiritual connection to Phantoms, she, along with her trusty companion, Phantom Ash, begins a voyage across Ivoire, tending to those in need. Yet, when ghost ships invade and tear the pair apart, Marona pairs up with Apricot to rally the storied crew that once triumphed over these spectral invaders.

Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero shakes things up by delivering a unique experience within the strategy RPG genre, eschewing traditional grids for free-roaming battles. By “Confining” Phantom souls to in-game objects, you build your team, with chosen objects influencing their stats. Additionally, Phantoms can “Confire” with gadgets for powerful, though sometimes slower, attacks. What’s more, Marona herself is capable of “Confriending” with Phantoms, altering her appearance and unlocking special abilities.

What makes this game stand out? Let’s delve into some of its standout features:

Explore Your Strategy: Build your dream team from a staggering selection of over 50 unit types and deploy them in action-packed battles. Let your creativity run wild with how each clash is approached.

Harness Phantom Magic: Engage in tactical turn-based RPG matches with the Confine system. With this mechanic, your Phantom companions can blend with and take over objects, fighting right beside you.

A Cheerful Quest Awaits: Though Marona is on a mission to rescue her cherished friend Ash, the journey is full of lighthearted adventures and the promise of new friendships.
