Those die-hard fans of the tactical RPG genre will likely find some good hours of enjoyment from the battle system but will find little here to drag them away from the stalwarts. Players of the previous editions of Phantom Brave will likely find little reason to repurchase the game again while those just coming into contact with NISA or tactical JRPGs will likely find their time best spent with better PSP releases."
Twelve years have passed since Phantom Brave was originally released for the Playstation 2. It saw ports on the Wii, Phantom Brave: We Meet Again and a PSP version, Phantom Brave: The Hermuda Triangle which included additional content. Finally, this strategy RPG has hit PC through Steam and is quite impressive.
SBG: "Looking for a good game for yourself or someone else this holiday season? We’ve got you covered. If you’re a fan of games with a Japanese bent, you had a good year on the PSP."
A few years after being released onto the PlayStation 2 and ported onto the Nintendo Wii, NIS America releases the tactics-style RPG Phantom Brave: The Hermuda Triangle onto the PSP. Are five new characters and slightly-improved graphics enough to keep the game from showing it's age?
