  • Our take on the Phantom Brave

    Phantom Brave is a tactical RPG from Nippon Ichi, the studio behind Disgaea. Its hook is the Confine system: you summon phantom allies onto any object on the map, so battles play out on a free-roaming gridless field. The story follows Marona, a young girl who can talk to spirits, and the tone is gentler than Disgaea's. It suits players who want deep, quirky systems and don't mind a steep learning curve; compared with Disgaea it is more flexible in movement but less polished and less funny.

    Questions and answers

    Is Phantom Brave hard to learn?
    Yes. The Confine system and its many rules are explained poorly, so expect to consult a guide for the first few hours. Once it clicks, the systems are deep and rewarding.
    How is it different from Disgaea?
    Phantom Brave uses free movement on gridless maps and summons allies onto objects, while Disgaea uses a fixed grid and throws. Phantom Brave has a warmer, less comedic story.
    Do I need to play other Nippon Ichi games first?
    No. It is a standalone story with its own cast and setting.
    Is there a lot of content?
    Yes. The campaign is long, and there is extra content, post-game maps and heavy character customization.
    Is it suitable for younger players?
    It carries a Teen rating for fantasy violence and mild language. The systems may frustrate younger or impatient players more than the content will.
    Which version should I get?
    The PS2 original and the later PSP port play the same; the port adds portability and some extra content. Choose based on the hardware you own.
    Where is the Phantom Brave cheapest?
    At GameStop, for $19.99, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the Phantom Brave?
    2 stores we checked sell it, including GameStop, Newegg.
