Evaluation

Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero launched on April 24, 2025 as a complete package. All 10 DLC items — including five bonus story chapters, costume and outfit DLC, a soundtrack, an art book, and a complete stories bonus — were released simultaneously on launch day. There is no unreleased DLC listed on the store, and the developer has not announced any future content, roadmap, or expansion. Since launch, the developer has posted two bug-fix patches (June 5 and July 29, 2025) addressing crashes and gameplay issues, but no new content has been introduced or announced. The game shows no sign of a post-launch content cycle. It launched as a finished product with its full complement of DLC available from day one.

About this game

Set sail to save the day in this colorful strategy RPG! Join Marona – a gifted young girl with the power to speak to Phantoms – as she traverses the ocean world of Ivoire, providing aid to those in need. When a fleet of ghost ships attack, it’s up to Marona and her new friend Apricot to assemble the legendary crew that once defeated these spectral foes.

Recruit Phantoms, bind them to objects, combine them with Gadgets, and even merge them with Marona herself to unleash show-stopping abilities and sink the Shipwreck Fleet!

Marona is a young girl with the power to speak to Phantoms, the spirits of those who have passed on. Alongside her dear friend, the Phantom Ash, she sails the ocean world of Ivoire, providing aid to those in need.

But when a fleet of ghost ships attacks and separates them, it’s up to Marona and her new friend Apricot to assemble the legendary crew that defeated the ghost ships once before.

Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero is an unconventional Strategy RPG that features free movement on a gridless map. Summon your Phantom squad members during battle by “Confining” their souls to objects on the map.

What object you Confine them to is up to you, and each different object informs their stats. Phantoms can also “Confire” with special gadget items for slow-moving but hard-hitting attacks.

In addition, Marona can “Confriend” with Phantoms to transform her appearance and access special attacks!

Play It Your Way: Create a team of allies from over 50 unit types and send them into battle! How the fight unfolds is limited only by your imagination.

Phantom Possession: Take on tactical turn-based RPG battles using the Confine system, which allows Phantoms you've befriended to combine with and possess items to battle alongside you!

Light-hearted Adventure: Marona may be on a quest to save her dear friend Ash, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be fun and new friendships to be found along the way!
