《通靈戰士 Wii》（Phantom Brave Wii，ファントム・ブレイブ Wii）是由日本知名遊戲公司Nippon Ichi Software開發，並於2009年發行在Wii平台上的策略角色扮演遊戲。原本於2004年在PlayStation 2推出，後來以「Wii版」形式移植，除承襲原作完整內容，還追加新章節與調整系統平衡，是兼具戰略深度與感人劇情的SRPG作品。

故事背景設定在一座被鬼魂與亡靈困擾的小島群「Phantom Isle」。女主角瑪羅娜（Marona ，日版名：マローネ）自幼父母雙亡，唯一的夥伴就是父母死前的好友並化為靈魂守護者的阿修（Ash，アッシュ）。瑪羅娜擁有特殊能力，能與亡靈對話並召喚幽靈附身於現世的物品上，化為「幻靈（Phantom）」為她戰鬥。雖然她擁有救人於危難的力量，卻因為世人畏懼她與亡靈交流的能力，被視為「不祥之子」而遭排擠。即便如此，瑪羅娜依然堅持著父母教導的「幫助他人」信念，與阿修踏上為人解決問題、驅逐妖魔的冒險旅途。

劇情圍繞在瑪羅娜與阿修接下委託、解決居民困擾，並逐步揭開圍繞在自己身世與世界危機的真相。隨著故事推進，會認識其他不同個性與背景的幻靈角色，也將對這片受詛咒的群島、邪惡魔王的陰謀有更深入了解。整體劇情基調溫暖感人，充滿人生價值觀與情感描寫，特別強調孤獨、勇氣與友情的主題。

操作與戰鬥系統方面，採用獨特的自由移動式戰棋系統，不同於傳統SRPG的格子制，可以在地圖上自由移動範圍內任意位置。戰鬥時，可利用「召喚」能力，將幻靈附身於地圖上的石頭、木箱、草叢、武器等物件，並依附身物品的種類，賦予幻靈不同的能力值修正與屬性特性。每個幻靈召喚後，能維持的行動回合數有限，結束後便會自動消失，使戰鬥增添時效與戰略配置的考量。

幻靈種類多達數十種，包含戰士、法師、弓箭手、盜賊、獸人、幽靈等，透過武器、能力、裝備及技能鍛鍊，幻靈可隨著戰鬥經驗成長，並自由轉職與學習新能力。還搭載「擲物系統」，可將物件或敵人舉起再丟出，創造更多戰術組合，例如將敵人丟下場外、投擲補品給夥伴、將石頭當成障礙物等，讓地形與物件變化成為戰鬥策略的一部分。

Wii版操作上則針對Wii遙控器與Nunchuk進行優化。透過Wii遙控器指向螢幕選擇目標、物件與施放技能，Nunchuk則負責移動角色與確認指令，操作方式直覺，提升遊戲節奏感。此外，Wii版本追加原PS2版未收錄的外傳章節《Another Marona》，講述瑪羅娜與新角色「Carona」的支線故事，內容量更豐富。

市場評價方面，在日本與歐美地區都獲得不錯口碑。Fami通給予28/40分，讚賞遊戲劇情感人溫暖，戰鬥系統新穎且自由度高，畫面雖然保留2D像素風，但角色表情與動畫細膩，音樂則由佐藤天平擔任，情感渲染力十足。不過也指出遊戲系統較為複雜，戰鬥節奏偏慢，需要耐心熟悉。

歐美媒體如IGN則給予7.0分，稱讚是少見兼具戰略與情感價值的作品，特別是召喚幻靈、利用地形與物件創造戰略優勢，展現出遠超傳統戰棋遊戲的創意。GameSpot則表示，儘管畫面與表現形式偏向舊世代，但劇情與角色塑造細膩感人，是戰略RPG玩家不可錯過的佳作。

綜合來說，這是系統自由度極高、劇情情感飽滿、結合傳統與創新的策略RPG。雖然學習門檻不低，但只要耐心體驗，便能感受到瑪羅娜與幻靈們為生存、信念與溫情奮戰的感動故事。無論是Nippon Ichi粉絲，還是熱愛劇情與策略交織的玩家，都值得收藏與細細品味。

Phantom Brave Wii (ファントム・ブレイブ Wii) is a strategy role-playing game developed by renowned Japanese game studio Nippon Ichi Software, released for the Wii platform in 2009. Originally launched for the PlayStation 2 in 2004, it was later ported to the Wii in an enhanced version that preserved the complete content of the original, while adding new story chapters and balancing system adjustments. It’s a game known for its rich strategic depth and emotionally moving narrative.

The story is set on a cursed cluster of islands known as Phantom Isle, plagued by ghosts and wandering spirits. The protagonist, Marona (マローネ), is a young girl orphaned at an early age. Her only companion is Ash (アッシュ), a close friend of her late parents who now exists as a spirit guardian. Marona possesses a unique ability to communicate with the dead and summon spirits into objects in the physical world, turning them into Phantoms to fight by her side. Although she holds the power to save others from danger, society fears her ability to interact with the dead, labeling her an ominous child and rejecting her. Despite this, Marona steadfastly follows her parents' teachings of helping others, and together with Ash, embarks on a journey to aid those in need and exorcise malevolent monsters.

The narrative follows Marona and Ash as they take on commissions, resolve the troubles of island inhabitants, and gradually unravel the mysteries surrounding Marona’s origins and the looming crisis threatening the world. Along the way, they encounter other Phantoms, each with unique personalities and backgrounds, further deepening their understanding of the cursed islands and the schemes of a powerful dark overlord. The story strikes an emotional chord, emphasizing themes of loneliness, courage, and friendship, while offering heartfelt moral reflections and life lessons.

In terms of gameplay, Phantom Brave introduces a distinctive free-movement tactical battle system, diverging from traditional grid-based SRPG mechanics. Characters can move freely within a set range across the map. During battle, Marona uses her summoning abilities to bind Phantoms to objects on the battlefield, such as stones, wooden crates, grass patches, or weapons. The type of object determines the Phantom’s stat modifications and elemental affinities. Each Phantom has a limited number of turns before vanishing, adding a strategic time-management element to combat.

There are dozens of Phantom types, including warriors, mages, archers, thieves, beastmen, and ghosts. Through weapon mastery, skill acquisition, and equipment upgrades, Phantoms grow stronger in battle and can freely switch classes or learn new abilities. The game also features a unique throwing system, allowing players to pick up and throw objects or enemies, creating diverse tactical opportunities — such as throwing foes off the map, tossing healing items to allies, or positioning obstacles with rocks — making map interaction a vital part of battle strategy.

The Wii version specifically optimizes controls for the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. The Wii Remote pointer selects targets, objects, and commands, while the Nunchuk controls character movement and action confirmation. This intuitive control scheme enhances the pacing of battles. Additionally, the Wii edition adds a new side story chapter called “Another Marona”, featuring a new character named Carona, providing expanded narrative content beyond the original PS2 version.

In terms of reception, Phantom Brave Wii received generally positive reviews in both Japan and Western territories. Famitsu awarded it 28/40, praising its touching and heartwarming story, inventive and highly flexible combat system, and charmingly detailed 2D pixel visuals. The music, composed by Tenpei Sato, was particularly lauded for its strong emotional resonance. However, the magazine also noted that the game’s complex mechanics and relatively slow battle tempo require patience and practice.

Western outlets like IGN rated it 7.0, commending it as a rare title that blends strategic gameplay with emotional storytelling. The game’s summoning and environmental interaction mechanics were highlighted as creative innovations that far exceeded conventional tactical RPG designs. GameSpot similarly acknowledged that, while the visuals and presentation felt rooted in an older generation, the depth of its characters and moving storyline made it a must-play for strategy RPG enthusiasts.

In summary, Phantom Brave Wii is a strategy RPG with an exceptionally high degree of system freedom, rich emotional storytelling, and a well-balanced mix of classic and innovative gameplay ideas. While its learning curve may be steep, players who invest the time will be rewarded with a heartfelt adventure about survival, conviction, and kindness. Whether you’re a Nippon Ichi Software fan or someone seeking a tactical RPG that fuses strategy with story, this title is well worth experiencing and collecting.
