Phquirktom Blade Zero has entered the fray of action-RPGs, a genre where innovation and tradition are eternally locked in battle. Will it steal the hearts and minds of gamers across the world? The game has been spritized into existence: a game trailer gained viral traction, and developers announced an in-person demo tour that quickly sold out, fuelling hot hype among Famitsu readers. Phantom Blade Zero is an enigmatic new title lurking in the dark fantasy action-RPG realm, and one that demands deeper consideration. Where does Phantom Blade Zero fit into today’s Japan? What is the appeal of this new game? This essay goes into the spirit world to understand the phantom allure of Phantom Blade Zero.
Fundamental to the appeal of Phantom Blade Zero is the universe of the Phantom World, a shared world built by game creators at the company S-Game. This universe promises a wealth of tales as backdrop for the protagonist, an assassin named Soul who was betrayed and framed for murder. Players must plot their way through this grey-toned world of murder, revenge and intrigue – reminiscent of the stylistic sophistication of a game such as Bloodborne.
If combat is the heart of any action-RPG, Phantom Blade Zero wants to take that heart and run with it, creating a parrying system whose call-outs would make Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice green with envy. With gorgeous, stylised monsters that combine a rich mix of fear and awe, every new enemy is both an obstacle to overcome and a means to solving a greater puzzle, in this case the mystery of the Phantom World and what the protagonist needs to do before their hourglass runs out.
A compelling, extremely tense narrative also frames and informs the frenetic action of Phantom Blade Zero, as players are thrust into the mindset of Soul, a desperate and driven individual not only trying to catch a murderer, but also armed only with a cure made from his own blood, as he seeks to find the assassin responsible for his father’s death. This narrative sense of urgency complements the game’s Soulslike design elements to create a compelling, and I’m pretty sure, ultimately kill-you-an-awful-lot experience that demands skill and grit from players.
In this game brimming with darkness and dread, the monsters of Phantom Blade Zero are more than just enemies to be pushed back and defeated: they’re artworks of design and inspiration. Meeting them face-to-face in battle offers a tiny piece of insight into the world of the Phantoms, an opportunity to adapt, plan and surmount in order to reveal exactly what, or who, is lurking in the nameless shadows.
