Phantom Dust is a video game for the Xbox console. It was developed by Microsoft Game Studios, produced and directed by Yukio Futatsugi, director of the critically acclaimed Panzer Dragoon for Sega Saturn. It was 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. The game remains a cult hit. The Xbox Live servers no longer support Online Multiplayer for Phantom Dust, or any other Xbox Original game. Read less

This is an interesting game for sure. I got a bit into the second chapter, and have found the combat to be kind of unique and fun, but I can’t say I’m really hooked on the game as a whole at this point. I tried and did get hooked on something else for the moment, so will be setting this down, but I could hypothetically imagine coming back for more of it at some point.

The targeting system is quite horrible.

On the outside the game has everything going for it - beautifully stylised visuals, atmospheric sound and an interesting storyline - but on the inside it's riddled with bad design choices that could have easily been avoided with a bit of extra thought from the devs.

Phantom Dust is kind of weird, and even beyond its weirdness its a mishmashy oddly paced adventure.

But even in its prime it was sold for a bargain and nowadays its free on Xbox and the Microsoft Game Store. If you like weird, card games, or sci fi, its worth a play.
