Collect 300 unique skills and build your arsenal of powers, taking them into battle online with up to three other players. Phantom Dust is a blend of third-person arena combat and collectable card game. Experience the cult classic that’s kept a passionate community playing to this day and a unique multiplayer experience that’s never been duplicated. It features new gameplay enhancements including multiplayer starter decks that let you jump straight into multiplayer, improved frame rate, and adjustments to overall game balance. Phantom Dust for Xbox One and Windows 10 PC is a re-release of the original Xbox classic, now returning with full Xbox LIVE support and a host of enhancements, including Xbox Play Anywhere, cross-device multiplayer, achievements, and 16x9 presentation. None of the microtransactions are necessary.* Windows 10 Version 9 or higher required for online multiplayer. Watch out for Will-O-Wisp! Purchase the $6.99 skill pack to support the developers. Some of the missions are a slog, but they are skippable now! After that, head online and collect the online skills! They are incredibly unique. Play through the single player at least once, and avoid spoilers! The story is actually quite special. No more building an arsenal just to use 1 pointless skill to finish one mission. Failing a mission three times allows you to skip it entirely. The load times are virtually non-existent now. The game holds up incredibly well when brought to 4K. That reboot ended up falling through, but that paved the way for this release! This is a HUGE improvement over the original.

When a new Phantom Dust was announced at E3 2014, I ran out and bought an Xbox One. On 4K and better than ever! A classic lives again! Phantom Dust is one of my all time favorite games. That said, Desctructoid is a site I frequent and definitely agree to the general sentiment that "your mileage may vary" when it comes to review quality and reviewer. In no world does this game deserve a 2/10. That said, Desctructoid Let me address the Destructoid review: It was certainly overly critical.
