Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Title Update to Arrive Soon on XBLA

New "Nightmare+" mode is highly recommended for hardcore co-op players!

Japanese developer 5pb Games has revealed that there is an Xbox LIVE update for arcade beat-em-up Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds currently in the works, and will be in gamer’s hands shortly.  We have the full patch notes of changes that are to be made, so read up and be ready for when they arrive.

It won’t be much longer until Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds receives a well-deserved title update, having only since received a small character DLC of Kurisu from Steins Gate this past March 12th. Once the update comes, however, the game will gain some brand new rules to Battle Ground mode (essentially the “Battle Royale” mode of the game that allows players to use their leveled characters against other players), a few features, most notably "Nightmare+" mode, and some other general fixes to the game. Keep yourselves in the loop with the full list of changes stated below:

//Added Features———

A lot more challenging than Nightmare mode.

No experience is rewarded in this mode. (Red Gems)

Greater coin drops.

-On the Skill Set screen, added a button func. to clear the learned character skills.

-When low on HP the Burst gauge will charge more rapidly.

Unfortunately, there isn’t an exact date on when the update will take place, but it should be very close to release. Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds features 4-player local or online co-op modes, which are explain very thoroughly by our resident beat-em-up expert, Paul, here.
