PHANTOM BRAVE by Atlas USA is a quirky strategy RPG for the PS2 centered around Marona, a young girl who can see spirits. This isnt all its cracked up to be, though; shes been exiled from her town for being possessed. So, with her dead, invisible guardian Ash by her side, she sets out to make some money as a mercenary and, as usual, gets swept up in a quest much bigger than she ever imagined. The battles in PHANTOM BRAVE involve you moving your army across the field to do battle. Turns are decided by stats, meaning some characters will get to attack more often. PHANTOM BRAVE throws out the conventional character recruitment system, however. Instead, Marona summons spirits from the netherworld to fight for her. But she cant just summon them anywhere,she has to channel their spirits into objects rocks, grass, etc each of which gives the summoned spirits different attributes and abilities. The battlefields in PHANTOM BRAVE arent just backgrounds. Your characters can grab anything, even enemies, and throw them around. Certain objects on the battlefield offer stat-boasting protection or special abilities, too. If you think this game sounds odd, youre right, but thats the goal with PHANTOM BRAVE. The story and characters are humorous and, at times, even silly, but theres a deeper plot and even the silliest of characters has dimensions and personality. All of this combines to create a game that is ideal for strategy RPG players with a sense of humor.
