  Becoming The Outsider, talking with the colourful cast, and removing the dark creatures from the world is an all-around satisfying adventure. I highly suggest giving this a look. I have a feeling you won’t regret it. Now excuse me, I must go aid The Creator.

  It’s a shame Phantom Trigger doesn’t live up to its potential, though, as the lack of variety and weak story really bring the core gameplay down.

  Phantom Trigger looks great and plays well for the most part, that much goes without saying. However, the game is far too taxing and fails miserably to fill its interesting world with meaningful content and lacks exploratory structure. It doesn’t help matters that the core loop remains dull and repetitive from the get-go. In a nutshell, this game is sub-par at best.

  If you are the type of person who could be locked in a room for twelve hours, content with nothing more than a fidget spinner and a bucket then you will love Phantom Trigger. It’s amazing. For everyone else, you will probably get very little satisfaction from this extremely repetitive and frustratingly boring dungeon brawler.

  In the end, what Phantom Trigger lacks in diversity it makes up for with an interesting storyline, as well as interesting upgradable weapons. I certainly loved the ability to teleport away from battle and into battle to increase my chances of survival. Players looking for a simple hack ‘n slash adventure may want to think twice before purchasing this game. If you are looking for a bit of a challenge, hack ‘n slashing your way through an interesting story, then this game may be for you.

  Sadly, Phantom Trigger is over as soon as it hits its stride. It takes only about 5 hours or so to play through, though this can be extended if you’re set on uncovering every little detail and pick-up. For $15, it’s not a bad deal, but Phantom Trigger is a unique and surreal experience – one I hoped would have lasted a little longer. If you’re a fan of Hyper Light Drifter, Kamiko, and other games of this little RPG sub genre, Phantom Trigger comes recommended.
