  • story
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Phantom Trigger" is engaging, particularly in volume 8, where the character Patrick's narrative stands out, offering a unique perspective that contrasts with the action-driven plot of the SORD team. While the series features a dark and gritty storyline, it lacks the depth of character backstories found in other works, focusing instead on the overarching themes of organization and conflict in a futuristic setting. Overall, the narrative is compelling but may not satisfy those seeking intricate romantic subplots.

    • “The story of Phantom Trigger is great.”
    • “Interestingly, in Volume 8, readers will progress through the story a lot as a boy named Patrick.”
    • “Indeed, the SORD team's side of the story is also interesting when it is about the action/serious part of the story.”
    • “Last volume and you still can't be bothered to tell the actual story?”
    • “Nothing that would break the story and make it awful, but it's strange to find a corporal 'promoted' to colonel, or a lance corporal being called a captain, making him the leader he actually isn't of his group.”
    • “Instead it plays out a lot like an anime if I have to compare it to anything (which is apt since they announced an anime series but hopefully the quality isn't going to be bad), the main part of the story is just focusing on the organization Sord taking place in the future after Eden (no, none of the characters return) and its child soldiers.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised, particularly the opening and ending songs, which evoke strong emotional responses from players. The soundtrack enhances key moments, such as impactful scenes and nostalgic visuals, contributing significantly to the overall experience.

    • “The art is still great, I mean it's Akio. The music is a banger, especially the opening and all the ending themes. (All the different ending themes are pretty great.)”
    • “I cried when [spoiler] Haruto discovered Rena's dead body [/spoiler] and cried a second time when [spoiler] the ending song started playing and showed the class photo they took in volume.”
    • “The music felt repetitive and didn't match the emotional tone of the scenes.”
    • “I found the soundtrack to be forgettable and lacking in variety, which really detracted from the overall experience.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players report a deeply emotional experience, highlighting moments of intense sorrow, particularly during pivotal scenes involving character loss and the poignant ending that evokes nostalgia through a class photo and accompanying music.

    • “I cried when [spoiler] Haruto discovered Rena's dead body [/spoiler] and cried a second time when [spoiler] the ending song started playing and showed the class photo they took in volume.”
    • “The emotional depth of the characters really hit me hard, especially during the pivotal moments that made me reflect on my own experiences.”
    • “I was completely overwhelmed by the story's emotional weight; it resonated with me on a personal level and left a lasting impact.”
  • graphics
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are not a focal point of the game, and while they may not be visually impressive, the content is clearly intended for a mature audience rather than children.
