Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate is an enhanced version of the beloved 2D side-scrolling beat ’em up, marking a decade since the original’s release. Now rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5, the game offers smoother, more refined gameplay and visually impressive special attacks, bringing a fresh feel to a classic experience. Whether you’re a fan of the original or new to the series, the revamped mechanics make this the definitive version of the game. It supports both local and online co-op modes, allowing up to 8 players to battle it out worldwide, with cross-platform play adding another layer of accessibility and fun.
One of the standout features of PBBGU is the ability to play as enemies from the Phantom Breaker universe in Arcade Mode, offering a new twist on the gameplay. In addition, the game features a remastered soundtrack composed by the all-girl J-rock band The Phantom Breakers, with the option to switch back to the original soundtrack for a touch of nostalgia. With its improved visuals, additional characters, and new modes, Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate promises an engaging experience for both returning fans and newcomers.
