Phantom Breaker: Omnia review

System: Switch
Release date: March 15, 2022
Developer: Mages
Publisher: Rocket Panda Games


Phantom Break: Omnia comes at a time when I believe there’s a resurgence of fighting games that not only revel in creativity and content, but take pride in bringing in a wider audience as to not feel left out. This doesn’t just mean making it easier to button mash – because accessibility does not equate to that – but the combos themselves and the understanding of the inputs have become streamlined and much more logical. Now with Phantom Breaker: Omnia, the game thankfully finds an incredible sweet spot of keeping things equal parts fun and approachable for all sorts of players while still retaining that exhilarating feeling and rush for those that want to excel in their style and focus on more ranked, competitive play.

Eiyuden Chronicle Rising gameplay

IGN has a first look gameplay video for Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising. In it, the game’s community manager guides fans through 28 minutes of footage. This is our first real look at the town-building action-RPG, which takes place in the same world as Eiyuden Chronicle – which should be appearing on some sort of Nintendo hardware.

We’ve included more information about the game below.

It seems like publisher Bilibili and developer TiGames’ game F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch may be coming to Switch. The 2D Metroidvania released last year on PS consoles and PC, but a Switch rating for the game has just popped up on the Taiwanese ratings board (first spotted by Gematsu):

This could mean a release of the game is planned for Switch relatively soon, although there’s been no official word on it. For now, we’ll wait and see if an official announcement pops up.

For those interested, you can check out an official trailer for the game below.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between February 23 and March 2.

In the last Nintendo Direct, we saw the announcement of a new entry on the Mario Strikers series after 15 years in the form of Battle League.

The game is one of the many spin-offs in which Mario and his friends play a specific sport. However, I would argue that this is a good example of how to break the usual formula that we see in those titles. What we see in Strikers is indeed soccer, but it’s a kind of soccer far removed from reality, with so many insane concepts that it almost feels like an entirely new sport.

In today’s video, I discuss how Mario Strikers manages to be different and why it’s so nice to see the series coming back with the upcoming release of Battle League. You can check out the video down below.
