What players say
Recommended. 8/10* Very cute looking pixel art, the environments looks like a cool mix between 3d models and pixel art, the character designs are great, really loved the first akihabara themed scenes, the gameplay is solid, great beat em up like guardian heroes from sega saturn where instead of moving up and down, you need to press a button to go on upper or bottom rails, the animations and controls are really good...

sekarang aku paham, dulu saat menanam bunga selalu saja banyak yang layu dan tidak mekar, ternyata penyebabnya karena aku terlalu mencemaskan kehidupannya dan terlalu merawatnya secara berlebihan, namun setelahnya aku sudah mengurangi hirauku terhadap bunga yang aku tanam dan merawat dengan seadanya, namun bunganya malah berseri dan bermekaran dengan indah. tapi ini bukan tentang bunga.
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.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
