60 FPS intro for Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds, a kinda obscure Beat Em Up. It is spin-off of a fighting game called Phantom Breaker that didn't quite make it out of Japan but apparently had plans for the US that didn't pan out.

The story is simple lol, the video explains itself. This creepy mysterious old man Phantom kidnaps Waka's little sister Nagi and it's up to the four main characters to rescue her.

This game recently hit steam however it's not really new since it's been on the 360 and Vita prior. Sadly it does not YET have online co op so keep that in mind before you get it. The devs hinted they may add it though if there is enough demand.

I'll upload a video of the intro stage after this but if this game is a Beat 'em Up, so like those old arcade games, a lot like Scott Pilgrim vs the World but with a level up system that has you investing in new abilities and or stat points. It also is anime themed as you can see so lots of strange things you may not get lol. But some enemies reference things we'd see in a TMNT arcade game.

The game also has the shifting planes aspect just like Guardian Heroes did. So you can jump into the background and then back into the foreground at the press of a button.

Just keep in mind it isn't the longest title and not the most challenging either. It does have difficulties though so if you find it too easy try the game on nightmare. At least it also does have some unlockables and may or may not get the DLC the other versions have.

I enjoy the game and helps I got it while it was on sale. Some of the enemy design is quite hilarious such as the fat men who toss pies at you or the bizarre body builders whom I swear shout dynamite among other more...lol things.
