- Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate (Nintendo Switch) Review - 17 April 2025
Playing Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate for the purposes of this review made me realize two things. First, I don’t think I was ever aware of Phantom Breaker . I think that may be forgivable , though—I mean, how many of you reading this review have heard of it before now? I’ve probably mentioned before that, despite always liking them, I was never a big fighting game aficionado, lacking the skill to play games like Street Fighter or Tekken at higher levels. Second, despite really loving the beat ’em up genre, I’ve never branched out much beyond a handful of favourites— Castle Crashers , Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time , most notably. So I’m always excited to check out new and interesting beat ’em ups when they come around, and honestly, Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate may be one of the most fun beat ’em ups I’ve pl…
