There are multiple types of skills that make up an arsenal. Yet there is a surprising amount of depth. When there are no more skills, you slowly lose health. You fight until the 15 minute time limit runs out or until the opponent(s) lose(s) all their health. Each combatant starts out with 20 points of health, and their 30 skill arsenals. The left stick moves you around, the right stick controls the camera, and pushing in the left stick toggles a jump or a roll, depending on your character. The shoulder buttons toggle a lock-on that helps you find and aim at your opponent. To assign a skill to a face button, you stand near it and press that button. To use a skill, you press its corresponding face button. Additionally, you have three skills next to each other in the arena in front of you. When you start a match in Phantom Dust, you have four skills, one assigned to each face button on the Xbox controller. What is truly brilliant about Phantom Dust is how it integrates this card-based gameplay into a 3D realtime game. Players battle each other with their arsenals, and the last one standing is the winner. Over the course of playing, you collect various skills, which are like cards, and assemble them into decks, called arsenals.
Gameplay: Phantom Dust is, at its core, a collectible card game, like Magic: The Gathering, or Yu-Gi-Oh.
Now, you can capture this gem of a game for yourself, and find one of the rare games out there that's truly new. Released only in Japan for the Xbox, Majesco picked it up for publishing in the states, releasing it at a bargain $20.
