![]() Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Overdrive – developed by MAGES and published by 5pb – is a spin-off of the 2011 fighting game Phantom Breaker and also happens to be a title originally released in 2013. Sure, it was fun, but it wasn’t exactly mentally stimulating. If you need reminding, the retro hits that started it all normally required you to move from one side to the other side of a level, repeatedly punching and kicking every baddie in sight until your fingers were bruised and battered. ![]() Although this is very much a design choice, it seems like the classic brawler could be so much more within the current video game landscape. As much of a blast as old school beat em’ up video games like Streets of Rage, Double Dragon and the River City Ransom series are to play, new titles under this same banner often fail to modernise the classic genre – instead choosing to rely purely on nostalgia to fuel the fun.
