Bleach: The 3rd Phantom

Game Details:

"Bleach: The 3rd Phantom" is a tactical SRPG developed and published by SEGA for the Nintendo DS, based on the world of "Bleach". The game features an original story, with the main characters being the twin Soul Reapers "Renju Fujimaru" or "Karin Fujimaru". Players must choose one of them to begin the main story when the game starts.

This game uses a turn-based tactical combat system, where each character has different movement ranges, attack skills, and Reiryoku techniques (similar to ultimate moves), emphasizing formation deployment and strategic thinking. The game includes a large number of characters from the original work (such as Ichigo Kurosaki, Byakuya Kuchiki, Toshiro Hitsugaya, etc.) that can be recruited. Players can increase their affinity through dialogue and battles, unlocking side stories.

Meanwhile, "The 3rd Phantom" has a Soul Society, a character development system, and a free formation mechanism, enhancing playability and replayability. It is a must-play for fans who love strategy and the world of Bleach.

Editor's Recommendation:

This game no longer pursues fast-paced battles, but instead focuses on strategic tactical gameplay and character growth. The original dual-protagonist setting and original storyline not only closely integrate with the original world but also allow you to experience an adventure of "If you were a Soul Reaper".

Each character can be freely combined and matched to unleash gorgeous Zanpakuto skills, and the battle animations also highly restore the atmosphere of the original work. It's worth mentioning that the large number of original characters appearing and voiced dialogue immerses fans even more. If you love strategy RPGs or are a loyal fan of the Bleach anime, this game is worth your time to savor.

Game Guide:

I. Character Selection and Influence

At the beginning of the game, you can choose Renju Fujimaru (male) or Karin Fujimaru (female) as the protagonist. They have different Zanpakuto skills and story branches. It is recommended for beginners to choose Renju Fujimaru, as he is more stable in the early stages and suitable for steady gameplay.

II. Team Combination Suggestions

• Core Damage Dealers: Such as Ichigo, Hitsugaya, Kenpachi, they have high attack power but need protection.
• Support Characters: Such as Orihime Inoue, who can provide healing or status buffs, essential for the back row.
• Mobility Characters: Yoruichi and other high-speed units are suitable for flanking or covering the retreat.

III. Positioning and Reiryoku Management

• Reiryoku is the core resource for releasing ultimate moves; try to accumulate it by killing enemies and supporting actions.
• Keep units with thick defenses in the front row to attract fire, and ranged and support units in the back row to provide damage.

IV. Affinity System's Impact on Combat

• Cooperating with teammates in battles or interacting with them can increase affinity, unlocking cooperative attacks or new dialogues.
• Pay special attention to side stories; some characters (such as Aizen) can join specific routes in the later stages.

V. Hidden Elements and Leveling Up Suggestions

• Some levels have hidden treasure chests or conditional victories, which can grant rare items upon completion.
• Experience is dependent on kills and support; reasonably arrange "finishing" characters so that lower-level characters can get more experience.
