Dominic Sheard: "I have a soft spot for scrolling beat 'em ups, so I’ll aimlessly jump into any game that offers the chance to bring the glory days of the genre into the current generation. Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds is an entry in the genre that just popped up on Steam, a scrolling beat 'em up that brings sprite-based visuals - think the Scott Pilgrim game – to PC by porting last year’s Vita release to Valve's platform. Battle Grounds is a spinoff of the main Phantom Breaker series by developer 5pb, which is a fighting game that never had a chance to release in English, even though it was due to come a couple of years ago. Those characters from the fighting game are brought into Battle Grounds in a cute chibi art style for some mindless afternoon button mashing."

Hardcore Gamer - This week’s Humble Bundle focuses on virtual fisticuffs and athletics in some form or fashion.
DD:
In today's day and age, we don't see too many side scrolling beat 'em ups, but Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds is just that. As something so deliberately retro, it has its good and bad points, but is still fun to play if you're into old school games.
hmmmm, interesting.
