Overall, Phantom Rift is pretty captivating, even though the gameplay is always the same, and the random encounters sometimes feel like grinding. It has great world and battles that are resolved by tactics as well as luck, and a loot-hoarding element, so it’s an incredible time-waster. I recommend it both to Diablo players who want something more tactical, and turn-based action players who want something more exciting.

Critic reviews
- 7.2That said, there are zillions of spells to deck yourself out with, plus tons of levels and side quests to work through - if you find Phantom Rift to your liking, you'll get many hours of play from it.
- 7.0I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that Foursaken Media revisits this concept and fleshes it out a bit more. In the meantime, I’m going to try and hunt down a copy of Mega Man Battle Network. Maybe Phantom Rift will entice you to do the same, too.
- 7.0Perhaps those with a lot of patience will absolutely love Phantom Rift, and maybe I'm just more impatient than the teenager I was when I fell in love with this style of play in the MMBN games. But Phantom Rift could just be so, so, much better, even if what it does well it does really, really well.
- 8.0Despite these issues, Phantom Rift is an ambitious mobile adventure – and it’s available for a great price. Foursaken Media may have scrambled a bit with its footing this time around, but that just means a Phantom Rift sequel (it’s coming, right?) will be even tighter and more polished.
- 6.0Phantom Rift has a sharp, fast, and strategic battle system. But there's not much else to keep you entertained between brawls.
