Ghosts and evil spirits begin to appear all over town, corresponding with the impending reincarnation of a transdimensional demon. A group of teens, armed with weapons found in their homes and assisted by spirits of their ancestors or former residents of their homes, set out to prevent the rise of this evil being.

This is a work in progress, with about 20 minutes of gameplay available.  Please let me know what you think in the comments to help me improve this!

This is a pretty nice game.

At first try, I have played ~10 out of 30 expected minutes, until overrating character's damage-per-second a little bit and getting one killed by a rodent skeleton. What a heroic death it was.

Gameplay was good - normally I do not end up playing games of this kind for too long, but this got to be exception of that rule. Everything felt pretty smooth and polished. The only oddity ever met was the game window title switching between blank string or game title periodically.

Graphics seemed to fit pretty well. I cannot guess if these would classify as pixel-art or not, but they are fairly high-resolution and style is visually appealing overall.

Sounds & music were great. There seemed to be a sound effect for every action of importance, and music was added a fair amount of atmosphere.

Storyline was in its place. There were multiple short and not very short dialogues, which I often skipped through.

Overall, (as I have mentioned) this is a very good game. There is nothing wrong with it and I'm looking forward the final release.

Loving the game, Greg! :) Can't wait for the final version to be released in October! D: I wanna buy it RIGHT NOW. $9.99 is being put aside just for this game. ;)

Also, for anyone interested, we did an interview with Greg about the game over at indie(Function);! http://www.indieFunction.com/broadcast2.php for anyone who's interested! The interview goes on during the game reviews, we talk to Banov while reviewing his game. Quite a fun experience.

This is an average Gamemaker game.
Nothing good, nothing new, nothing fun.

Thought it was fun for a while, but I do have one suggestion:

If you're planning on advertising/selling this game, you may want to consider changing the name to something shorter/more memorable. If you remember/are aware of the game 65 million and 1 BC, its creator commented that the lengthy name probably worked against his sales.

Best of luck with your commercial venture!

Thanks! 65 million and 1 BC is almost twice as long as my title syllable-wise, so that's kind of an extreme case. I like the wordplay at work in Phantasmaburbia, and it would take a really extraordinary title to pull me away from it.

I'm giving it a 3 for the moment, as the game lags a lot and the player moves too slow :|

Sorry it lagged for you! I'd appreciate if you tried it out again now, as I've just uploaded a new version where I tried to correct speed issues where I could.

I'd also recommend you close out extraneous programs in the task manager and if you're on a laptop, make sure it's on high power setting. Let me know what FPS it runs at for you, and your system specs... this could help me optimize it more.

Loving the music and the SFX, which I recognise have been reused a bit from Dubloon? I'm impressed with the environment graphics but I think the character sprites don't look too in sync with the others, in terms of style. The walking and running animations don't look quite right, the walking looks a bit like shuffling, and the movement speed even when running is a bit slow. Most graphics needs a lot of reworking but there's definitely quality for it. Just looks a tad rushed in some cases, such as the different mugshot poses, but you know only spriting fanatics like me would recognise something like that. :P Battle engine is a bit slow but really polished. Still, I really enjoyed it. Good luck with the final game! (:
