(More customer reviews)if you don't want to read a long review, skip to PROs and CONs at the end. This game has it's pro's and con's, but there are few cons. the pros first. You start the game with some cash and a few shops to buy parts at. You go around and use your money to make a meager mech (or scoot vehicle as the game calls them). you can pick from three different classes, Photon (light), Holy(medium), and Aeron(heavy). They all have there strengths and weakness and are well balanced. When you make a mech, you decide what type you want and can buy parts for that type because all parts (except optional equipment) are designed for a specific type of mech. You can customize the body type, the legs(which are highly customizable because you can have two-legged, four legged, and in the case of the photon, six-legged spider-like legs as well as wheeled mechs. some are like inline skates and others are like tanks.) You also buy two arms, which can be any number of ranged or melee weapons and you can also buy back weapons, which are heavier, like missiles and lasers. (the lasers rock, by the way because ammo is a great consideration in building a mech and lasers never run out of ammo, you only have to wait like 3 seconds to charge your lasers and one stream can decimate almost any opponent in less than 2 seconds. they are, however, the most expensive and heavy weapon in the game, but for good reasons) there is optional equipment, which uses up socket holes on your main body (2-8 depending on the body type and heavy/light level of it). I'll explain that in a sec....
Anyway, you can get optic camoflauge, which makes you virtually invisible for 5-20 secs depending on what kind you buy and then they recharge for a few secs and you can re-activate them. no one can lock any weapons on you while you are cloaked. they must use weapons like machine guns and lasers to hit you. there is also armor modules you can buy to make you tougher, but they use up socket holes too. you can also buy dozens of paint jobs and decals to spruce up your mech. and you also buy a targeting and pilot assist chip, which you can upgrade as you play, making your mech even more deadly.
As you play the game, you make money depending on how many mechs you destroy without getting destroyed yourself. it's basically an arena based game where you go in, shoot 'em up, and leave when you are about to die. if you get shot down before you leave, you have to pay repair costs, which reduce your profits greatly. With the money, you can buy new parts, or even make a whole new mech. there are 10 hangars in your garage, so you can have up to 10 mechs to choose from in the game. Also with the money you can upgrade your parts. You can either make them a higher level heavy part, which will usually increase durablitiy/damage done while reducing ammo, or make them lighter, and get more ammo and a lighter piece( because all the leg parts have different weight capacities) but do less damage. you can also upgrade legs to increase their weight capacity.
the only real cons to this game are that there aren't as many parts to choose from as one would hope and there are only a few arenas to rumble in (I think only 3 arenas) and there is no mission mode except that as you play and defeat certain players you get awards and go up in rank. the object of the game is to beat the area rankers and achieve the highest ranking and own the toughest mech. You can also play 2-4 multiplayer, and even load your personal mechs from story mode to decimate your friends with ;) that's my favorite part. If you like games that have long-lasting play value and endless customizabiltiy, get this game. Hope this review helped you make a decision about Phantom Crash.

In the year 2031, Tokyo is suffering from massive air pollution and thermal island phenomenon. The Japanese government has moved its capital to Neo Tokyo City, a shelter city built on an artificial island. Shinjuku and Shibuya of old Tokyo have been closed off to civilians to protect them from collapsing buildings, and the vicinity has been declared "Trash Area." And now in the middle of Trash Area a battle game called Rumbling has started, in which participants pilot Scoobee, a highly mobile close-combat vehicle, to destroy the opponent, earn the prize, and climb the ranking ladder. Since the day it started being televised, Rumbling has thrilled viewers with the excitement of destruction and suspense coming from the invisible danger of optic camouflage. In 2031, Rumbling has become the biggest entertainment in the history. The gladiators of this new era aimed for just two goals: strength and style.
