1The Xbox's forgotten masterpiece
Phantom Dust (ファントムダスト Fantomu Dasutu?) is a 2004 action strategy video game developed and published by Microsoft Game Studios and produced and directed by Yukio Futatsugi (director of Panzer Dragoon for Sega Saturn) for the Xbox console. The game was released in Japan on September 23, 2004 and in North America on March 15, 2005, licensed for release in the U.S. by Majesco.
Phantom Dust is a pseudo-card-based action/strategy game in which the player collects skills (over 300 total) and takes missions to attempt to discover why Earth is in the condition it is. Players construct "arsenals" (similar to decks of cards) from their acquired skills and then use them to battle against other players.The game incorporates strategy and action elements in to a game that requires both mental and reflexive skill, and remains a cult hit.As of July 24, 2014, however, the Xbox Live servers no longer support online multiplayer for Phantom Dust, or any other Xbox original game.
At E3 2014, a Phantom Dust remake was announced for the Xbox One.
There are four aspects of gameplay in Phantom Dust: interaction, Arsenal building, mission assignment within the underground city, and combat in various arenas on the surface of the planet.
Within the underground city, the player can interact with other non-player characters to learn of missions, buy new skills, arrange and alter their Arsenals, and review memory boxes recovered during exploration. Once a player accepts a mission, they may have the opportunity to take a second friendly NPC to the field, though many times, the mission requires a specific NPC.
On a mission, the player and companion are put into a field with up to two enemy foes and the match begins. Each participant generally starts with 20 health points, but this may vary for weaker foes or stronger bosses. Due to the nature of the dust that fills each field, each match is limited to 15 minutes of game time, though if either all enemies are defeated, or the player's health drops to zero, or other special conditions are met, the match can end sooner.
