Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Game's Switch Launch Trailer Posted

MAGES. began streaming the launch trailer on Sunday for the Nintendo Switch release of the Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds game. The game will be available for the Switch worldwide on Thursday under the title Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Overdrive.

MAGES./5pb. describes the game:

A mysterious man known as the Phantom has awakened and hatches a plan to unseal his dark powers. By giving ancient weapons known as the F.A. (Fu-mantion Artifacts) to youths with special abilities, he convinces them to battle each other with the promise to grant the wishes of the victors. However, each time the Fu-mantion Artifacts are used in battle, the space-time continuum weakens. This creates a rift between two parallel worlds, which will inevitably unseal the Phantom's powers.

Waka, the daughter of the Kumon Family, a clan tasked with protecting the world from the Phantom, and her friend Mikoto, attempt to stop him. However, the Phantom manages to escape and kidnaps Waka's younger sister, Nagi. Waka and Mikoto, along with Itsuki, the self-proclaimed “Ally of Justice" and Yuzuha, a ninja unpersuaded by the lure of the Phantom, set off to rescue Nagi and stop his nefarious plan.

The game launched on XBox Live Arcade in 2013, and is also available on PS Vita, PC, and PS4.
