Summary

Phantom Fighter drops you into a neon‑lit world of wacky Chinese kyonshies that roam eight distinct villages, each packed with haunted houses, cemeteries and academies. As a kung‑fu master you can earn special moves by answering quirky quizzes, then unleash a surprisingly large arsenal of chops, kicks and combos on more than fifteen enemy types, including a hidden baby kyonshi called “conshi.” The game’s smooth sprite animation, full‑on sound effects and a password system let you keep the action rolling across infinite continues, while an inventory screen reveals every item you might collect on the way to the final witch showdown. Critics were split – AllGame gave it a middling three stars and Electronic Gaming Monthly’s scores hovered around the 5‑6/10 mark – but the quirky dialogue, bonus quizzes and the movie‑inspired “Mr. Vampire” vibe still make it a fun, off‑beat beat‑’em‑up for NES fans.

Storyline

Phantom Fighter, the NES action title, casts you as a kung‑fu master on a supernatural quest. Your mission is to clear eight towns that have been overrun by kyonshi.

In each town you must defeat a distinct boss before confronting the final evil witch who controls the undead menace.
