Better than the fighting games.
Still not good, tho.

Really fun beat 'em up that was fun to go through with all the characters. Plus you can play as Kurisu from Steins;Gate, what's not to like?

Chibi beat-em-up with a variety of characters designed around replayability and coop in mind. Phanton Breaker Battlegrounds avoids it's predecesor by only maintaining the name and focuses on the endless hordes of enemies to your mercy. The combat is very enjoyable and fluid (except on nightmare) and allows you to become a machine as you level up and evolve your character throughout the one hour campaign. This game is a treat to play on occasions due to it's engaging combat that encourages chaining combos from enemy to enemy and building your meter to focus on tougher enemies.

My main griped with this game are the PVP and Nightmare difficulty entirely. PVP is lame and unintuitive due to the poor balancing in neutral. It becomes a spam fest of ranged moves, prioritizing meter over neutral, and camping on other lanes. However, it such a small part of the game that it can mostly be ignored. Nightmare mode cannot; the hardest difficulty varies wildly from pissingly easy to unnecessarily hard due to super armor and the player's block being completely ignored. Nightmare mode can be enjoyed through enough effort of understanding the mechanics, but Hard is a much better balanced mode over all especially against the bosses whose meter charges significantly faster than the player's and they will not hesistate to use it at any opportunity.

The music and visuals are swell and varied. All the characters are animated very well with many expressions and details in their moves making it very sastifying to fight the enemies. Besides Demonsphere, every stage is distinct and enjoyable. As a single player experience I can reccomend this game up to Nightmare and that's ignoring the Co-op capabilities. Phantom Breaker: Battle Ground is good.

Solid beat em-up that scratches the itch.

Actually a very decent beat 'em up game with nice graphics, 4 different base characters and many to unlock, and each of them can be upgraded to get new abilities.

Worth playing.
