A very fun beat-em-up, This game was also one of my first purchases. I combat is simple and fun and you're easily hooked to the game. I highly recommend.
Not recommended Jun 25, 2026
It's a classic sidescorlling beat 'em up. Not that I am the biggest fan of these to begin with. But Phantom Breaker didn't appeal to me. I felt like mashing buttons was good enough to win. And the story is just fluff on top. Overall not for me.

It’s that kind of game isn’t very good but once you start playing, it’s hard to stop. It’s a cute 2D arcade beat-them-up. Your movement is limited to 2 lanes and so are the enemies’, it has several levels and a boss fight at the end of each, about 80% of the gameplay is just defeating wave after wave of enemies, repetitive and not exciting. Besides the AI is dumb, enemies either remain still or walk away when they can hurt you, and when you switch lanes you are almost always to get a hit. The good part is that you can choose from a few girls and pick your own favorite color, each girl uses a different weapon (sword, hammer, spear) and you unlock new girls later. The attacks are visually satisfying and the girls look cute, that's why I said hard to stop playing at the beginning. I picked the spear girl because her regular attacks can do good damage and looks great. Also, when multiple enemies are killed the shiny coin eruptions look good, and the 3D Japan location background makes the game a bit less boring. You level up and earn talent points for stats and skills, but when I quit after 5 levels and returned, my hero’s progress reset to level 0, while the stage progress was saved…
