The game's successor, Makai Kingdom, would change this so that you have direct control all the time, which I prefer because it makes it a lot easier to get the character precisely where you want them to be. Not that there's whole lot of penalty for falling out of bounds, I'd just teleport back onto the map. That'll be handy for when I want to get around an ice level without sliding right off the stage. I can also move Ash directly by choosing an attack and then sliding him around inside the red circle until I've got an enemy within the blue area-of-effect cylinder. It even gives you the option of switching to the original Japanese voices, which is nice. It's all voiced in any version you get and the acting's very solid. I like my pixels art sharp so I've switched the bilinear filtering off on the PC game, but I'm leaving the new UI graphics options on, because you can see how much better the upgraded message box looks. The difference is less obvious in the original PlayStation 2 version with its ultra low resolution and blurry sprites, though either way it's still pixels over a painting. These cutscenes are really different to Disgaea's as they've dropped the giant portraits and and gone with giant animated cutscene sprites instead. The man with a potted plant for a head is bleeding little pixel blood and things seem bleak, so Ash (the guy on the right) tells him to get Jasmine (the other one) somewhere safe while he takes on every enemy single handedly. Not that any of them are likely to make it out of this alive. The survivors should totally check out the Island of Cake next though.
I don't know what they were expecting, but if it was irony then they're out of luck.
The game begins on the Island of Evil in the year 913, Ivoire Calendar Calender, where Ash and his friends have ended up surrounded by evil. (Click the pictures to view them in an incredible 1280x720 resolution, though I'm sure it can do better). It's tempting, but I'll leave it for now. though I've never seen that mysterious 'Another Marona' button before.

I've played it before on PS2 so I'm sure I'll all come back to me. But someone might mix this game up with Disgaea, so I intend to mention the game constantly to point out the differences, and similarities.Īlright I'm going to play Phantom Brave's main story for a couple of hours or until I beat a proper boss, whatever happens first. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, there's a game that gets it right no one's going to mix that one up with Phantom 2040. A word that just happens to show up in the title of their earlier game Makai Senki Disugaia, aka. To make things more confusing, the next year Nippon Ichi released a similar game with the Japanese title Phantom Kingdom, which then got renamed to Makai Kingdom in the West, despite 'phantom' being an English word already and 'makai' being a Japanese word. (That's totally the right game to put on by the way).
In fact I ended up playing The Phantom Pain for 142 hours before I realised I'd put the wrong game on. is that it always takes me a few seconds to remember which is the tactical RPG, which has the mechs and which is the one with the cards. The trouble with these 'Phantom' games like Phantom Brave, Phantom Crash, Phantom Dust etc.

This week on Super Adventures I'm playing the relatively new PC port of classic PlayStation 2 game Phantom Brave! Because trying to figure out and then explain a complicated turn-based tactics game from 2004 seemed like a smart use of my free time.
