Phantom Brave

Designed by the creators of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness and featuring similarities in both design and strategic gameplay, the game is being called a spiritual sequel to Disgaia. The epic storyline is populated with characters drawn up by designer Takehito Harada, and the game takes place on Ghost Island, a place swarming with phantoms. The protagonist, Marone, a 13-year-old girl, resides there with a ghost friend named Ash, and possesses the power to control specters and ghosts, which she uses to solve cases and earn a living.

The game presents an old-school, yet detailed 2D aesthetic, with randomized dungeons for infinite exploration and a unique item system that has players carry items over their head to earn status upgrades. Through a process called Fusion, phantoms and items can be made stronger in the mortal world, allowing players to combine them into powerful allies and mighty weapons. For example, binding a phantom in a tree can grant it tree-like powers.

The game's non-grid structure allows players to travel freely across the map, capturing key points along the way. Over the course of the game's 100 hours of gameplay, players will experience 20 heart-warming episodes. Additionally, the game offers extensive customization options, with over 400 different skills and magical spells to choose from when creating and customizing the jobs of your soldiers.

The attention to detail and the blend of old-school charm with modern strategic gameplay make this game a must-play for fans of the Disgaea series and those who appreciate well-crafted, narrative-driven experiences. The ability to fuse phantoms and items into unique and powerful entities, coupled with the freedom to explore the map at will, adds a refreshing layer of depth and experimentation to the overall experience. With its captivating storyline, diverse character roster, and robust customization options, this game promises to provide players with a thoroughly engrossing and memorable adventure.
