    Phantom Breaker is an interesting fighter that finds a niche in a somewhat crowded genre. The use of character styles and chain-based combat gives the game its own identity and provides an additional layer of strategy in fights. The omission of a tutorial and move list is baffling and is a barrier to mastering mechanics. Characters are well crafted and their personalities are shared in the game’s story, however, the roster itself lacks variety. Despite its originality on the stage, some design issues halt Phantom Breaker: Omnia from competing with its competition.

    Phantom Breaker: Omnia isn't a bad fighting game. The fighting seems deep at first but quickly turns chaotic with plenty of moves that don't look like they connect and a roster that looks more generic than impressive. The presentation is OK with decent music and graphics that look a touch underwhelming. The modes are numerous, but those who will want to play online will be disappointed at the lack of rollback netcode. The Switch is already blessed with a bevy of solid fighting games, so the only reason to grab this one is if you really want all of the fighting games that the system has to offer.

    Phantom Breaker: Omnia is a long-awaited release of a dormant niche fighting game franchise that many players will be jumping into for the very first time. It's the best first impression you'll get for this fighter, but it's also one that can be overwhelming and hard to sift through for those not completely ready for it.

    I played 90% of the fighting games of the Nintendo Switch.
    Phantom Breaker is a GREAT single-player game, the story is a jiggsaw puzzle with    I played 90% of the fighting games of the Nintendo Switch.
    Phantom Breaker is a GREAT single-player game, the story is a jiggsaw puzzle with every character chapter.
    The combat is moderate, the moveset is simplified, but don't think that is represent the game itself, with 3styles, a lots of litte techniques and several modes to play, I really recomend to play in portable mode to have fun with a compettitive system style.    … Full Review »
