NIS America and Nippon Ichi Software recently revealed some exciting news: a demo for "Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero" is now available on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch. This gives players an early taste of the game before its launch.
The demo includes the first two chapters of the storyline, and even better, you’ll be able to carry over your progress to the full version once it officially releases. This RPG, direct from the minds behind the popular Disgaea series, introduces players to the captivating world of Marona. She’s a remarkably talented young girl with the unique ability to communicate with Phantoms, spirits that accompany her on her adventures. With Ash, her steadfast Phantom friend by her side, Marona traverses the oceanic world of Ivoire, always ready to assist those in need.
The plot thickens as ghost pirates launch an assault, and it’s up to Marona and her new buddy Apricot to gather the legendary team that once vanquished these ghostly adversaries. You’ll have to recruit Phantoms, bind them to various objects, and even merge them with Gadgets or Marona herself to unleash spectacular powers and take down the Shipwreck Fleet.
Here’s a rundown of the game’s standout features as outlined by the publisher:
-
Play It Your Way: Assemble a squad of allies from over 50 different unit types and dive into battle! Your tactics and strategies are only limited by your creativity.
-
Phantom Possession: Engage in tactical, turn-based RPG skirmishes utilizing the Confine system, where befriended Phantoms can merge with items to fight alongside you!
- Light-hearted Adventure: While Marona is on a mission to rescue her dear friend Ash, the journey is also punctuated with fun moments and the possibility of new friendships.
Mark your calendars, as "Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero" will be available for purchase both in stores and digitally via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on January 30, 2025.
