The Two Types Of Fighters In Phantom Breaker

5pb is stepping out of their comfort circle with an original fighting game for Xbox 360. Phantom Breaker classifies characters as either quick style or hard style.

Glowing orbs and lightning effects appear when players trigger the counterbalance system. It’s possible to cancel a rival’s attack with one of your own in Phantom Breaker, but 5pb didn’t explain how this works. Until next time, here’s a look at the game’s cast of characters.
