Phantom Dust is a 2004 action strategy video game developed and published by Microsoft Game Studios and produced and directed by Yukio Futatsugi 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 and takes missions to attempt to discover why Earth is in the condition it is. Players construct "arsenals" 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. In 2015 the development studio working on the game shut down. Microsoft indicated development may proceed with a different team. |
