Phantom Blade 0
S-GAME's debut console action RPG pairs a Donnie Yen-shaped combat system with a 66-day countdown story. The fighting is the draw; the plot is where critics agree it falls short. Is it your kind of game?

9/10
Game Avant verdict
A martial-arts action RPG whose Sha-Chi combat system genuinely earns its acclaim, paired with a serviceable but safe story that never threatens to steal the spotlight back.

About Phantom Blade 0
Framed for the death of his master and left with a ruined heart, Soul has sixty-six days to live. Alone and hunted by his former comrades, he moves through a world of shifting loyalties and silent blades — determined to unravel the conspiracy that has condemned him. Rain mixes with blood, mercy entangles with vengeance. Soul's journey is one of love, hate, and the fragile search for what it means to have a heart.

The thing you'll love. Or hate.
Sha-Chi's shared resource system
You may love it because
Stamina, posture and skill draw from one pool that both Soul and every enemy manage, so fights become a genuine back-and-forth read rather than a one-sided stamina race.
It may frustrate you because
It's also a system every enemy uses against you with the same rules, which raises the skill floor compared to a traditional stamina-only Soulslike.
Thirty weapons, twenty Phantom Edges
You may love it because
Constant weapon-switching mid-fight keeps combat from calcifying into one repeated combo, and boss fights are reportedly built around genuinely unusual gimmicks like lion-dance and drunken-sword techniques.
It may frustrate you because
That same breadth means no single weapon gets the kind of deep mastery curve a narrower moveset-based game offers.
A story built to not need the old Phantom Blade games
You may love it because
Soul's 66-day countdown premise works as a clean entry point and doesn't lean on lore from S-GAME's earlier mobile titles the way Black Myth: Wukong leaned on Journey to the West.
It may frustrate you because
Critics read that accessibility as safety, and the story is the one part of the release reviewers consistently call the weakest link.
