NIS America and Nippon Ichi Software have announced that a Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero demo is out now on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch.
The demo presents the chance for you to play through the first two chapters of the story, with your save data carrying over to the main game upon release.
From the creators of the Disgaea series, this grid-less tactical turn-based RPG stars Marona – a gifted young girl with the power to speak to Phantoms – and Ash, her loyal Phantom companion, who sail the ocean world of Ivoire lending aid to those in need.
After a fleet of ghost pirates attack, it is up to Marona and her newfound friend Apricot to assemble the legendary crew who had once defeated these spectral foes.
That will see you recruit Phantoms, bind them to objects, combine them with Gadgets or even merge them with Marona herself to use show-stopping abilities and sink the Shipwreck Fleet.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Play It Your Way: Create a team of allies from over 50 unit types and send them into battle! How the fight unfolds is limited only by your imagination.
- Phantom Possession: Take on tactical turn-based RPG battles using the Confine system, which allows Phantoms you’ve befriended to combine with and possess items to battle alongside you!
- Light-hearted Adventure: Marona may be on a quest to save her dear friend Ash, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be fun and new friendships to be found along the way!
Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 30 January 2025.
