    Doesn't push beat 'em ups forward with meaningful mechanical advancements. Worth a bash, though. [October 2014, p77]

    Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds is a reasonably priced title that is good for pick up and play sessions.

    Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds is a fun, fast paced brawler, with a strong retro presentation that runs out of steam all too quickly. Repetitiveness almost over shadows everything that it does well, and the ghost town multiplayer modes certainly don’t help either. That said, if you’re up for an old school beat-‘em-up – with some modern additions – then this title may still be worth rescuing.

    Battle Grounds may have nice animations, interesting, old-school-inspired environments, and the heart of a classic beat-'em-up, but its gameplay pales in comparison to its more quality-oriented, difficult, and well-balanced competition. It's an easy, almost mindless romp.

    if you're looking for a beat em up with anime theme look no further!
    i think this game is under $10 on psn, and well worth it imho.

    you can play online with 2 other people, and the game has several heroes to pick from.
    it has a single dlc that costs 4 or 5 bucks and that adds 1 addition character, and increases the level cap. so you can hold off on the purchase unless you really enjoy the game, and in that case it seems worthwhile.

    i've put a couple hours into this so far and it's a great game to pop on before bedtime for example. short bursts of beat em up action.

    check out some video reviews or footage, for the price i think this game is a great value.
    sadly does not work on my PSTV as of oct 21st. hopefully they add support for this gem.    … Full Review »
