NIS America and Nippon Ichi Software have just dropped some exciting news: a demo for Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero is now available on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch.
Get a sneak peek into the captivating world by playing through the first two chapters of the story. The best part? Any progress you make in the demo will seamlessly transfer over when you dive into the full game upon its release.
Crafted by the masterminds behind the Disgaea series, this unique grid-free, tactical turn-based RPG introduces us to Marona. She’s a remarkable young girl who can communicate with Phantoms and sails the oceanic realm of Ivoire with Ash, her steadfast Phantom ally. Together, they travel far and wide to help those in distress.
Their adventure kicks into high gear when they’re confronted by ghostly pirates. Marona and her new friend Apricot embark on a mission to reunite the legendary crew known for previously vanquishing these eerie enemies.
As they journey on, players will gather Phantoms, attach them to various objects, merge them with Gadgets, or even pair them with Marona herself to unleash awe-inspiring powers to thwart the Shipwreck Fleet.
Key features of the game have been highlighted by the publisher, which include:
Play It Your Way: With over 50 unit types at your disposal, you have the freedom to assemble your dream team and deploy them into battle. Let your imagination dictate the course of the fight!
Phantom Possession: Engage in tactical, turn-based battles with the Confine system. This mechanic allows you to combine and possess items with Phantoms you’ve befriended, turning everyday objects into formidable allies!
Light-hearted Adventure: Although Marona is on a mission to save her beloved friend Ash, that doesn’t mean there won’t be plenty of laughter and new friendships along the journey!
Mark your calendars! Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero is set to be available both in stores and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch globally on January 30, 2025.
