i had this, but didn't play much of it. it takes the strategy of a CCG like magic, and puts it into a 3D arena environment. looks like it's getting a PC release in addition to the xbox one.

this game rules so hard, hopefully it gets a shitload of play with a steam release

incidentally the remake of this and scalebound were the only two games that made me think I'd eventually get an xbone lol

I love Phantom Dust, the single-player's structure is kind of weak though. You run around in a bunker talking to NPC's until one says someone's looking for you & then you find that person & when you talk to them they give you a mission that takes place in one of the 7 or so maps. It's still really fun though.

I know it's not likely but I wish they'd found a way to replicate the original game's custom soundtrack support, you could set each level's music individually to anything you had saved on your Xbox.

i'm assuming no, but is there still any sort of competitive scene for this thing?

Not really, closest u can get is there's a fan forum that still plays it & is trying to set themselves up as a knowledge database for the rerelease (http://phantomdusted.com/v-web/bulletin/bb/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=1b9bfea6c1230ceafb438081f2ec4be6)

Personally I just like looking @ it to see them constantly get psyched up

Doing that was like 50% of my time spent on the tutorial level in Hitman: Blood Money. Dock workers walkin by & Agent 47s just spinnin like a top

You can either pay to get all of the cards or just unlock them normally while playing like the original version. It's good if you already had all the cards before but don't feel like getting them again.

This channel has some interesting match footage:

Also the starter pack lets players jump into multiplayer from the get-go and start building their decks and arsenals without playing through the first couple of chapters of the single-player mode (which is kinda of a lenghty tutorial)

Edit: yes, the starter pack is free

Wish there was an online option to skirmish with random decks like the local multiplayer had(has?).

there totally is!

Can't wait until more than a fifth of the players understand how to actually play the game though, I keep wishing there was a chat function so I could explain what's going on to the people helplessly running in circles around my orbs.

If you're talking just in general definitely but the "quick match" option in this seems like, broken, if you use "Optimatch" you'll find a bunch of lobbies.

I'm betting most people are doing single-player but I've seen others post on the discord that they were not able to connect/find matches. If you're playing on PC this will probably help fix it: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/social/troubleshoot-party-chat
