The world is a massive desert and staying out above ground too long can be dangerous, the deadly dust in the air toxic to humans. The concept here is that it is sometime after an unknown, Earth ruining apocalypse. What you will find is truly unlike anything else out there unless you’re willing to dig in the deep mines of obscure PC indie gaming – and this got a full on remaster! This is Phantom Dust, a game that defies any clear genre, though the initial concept was something like a trading card game like Magic The Gathering meets the one-on-one action battle game Virtual-On. If you want some full on Futatsugi, some real uncontrolled gaming strangeness, you need to look at the one game he directed for Microsoft before leaving to start Grounding. Panzer Dragon will remain his greatest accomplishment the way things are looking, but there are a few who would argue otherwise. When he did help found a new company called Grounding Inc, they stuck to more humble download only titles instead of anything ambitious or costly.
He’s shown extremely impressive creativity, but he’s tended to stick around major gaming corps instead of going on his own.
The Protagonist and Edgar set out on a quest to answer many of the questions they have.Yukio Futatsugi has had a really strange career. Having both been exposed to the Dust for a prolonged amount of time they can not remember much of anything. Two pods are found containing two men in an unconscious state in the center of a huge crater, the two men are Edgar and the Protagonist (called the Protagonist because his name can vary depending upon the choice of the player). Phantom Dust begins with a surface expedition over a decayed landscape. Around January rumors started circulating that Majesco might pick up the title and give it the U.S. Critics loved Phantom Dust's style of gameplay. Famitsu reviewed and gave it a 34 out of 40.
In spite of the fact that Microsoft Game Studios Tokyo was given the green light to create Phantom Dust, Microsoft decided to give Phantom Dust a Japan only release. Yukio then reworked the format until he came up with a gameplay style that involves equal amounts of planning, strategy, and twitch gameplay, faster than what is traditionally found in a collectible card game. Microsoft rejected the idea because they thought that the game would not sell to the majority of Xbox owners. Yukio first pitched the game to Microsoft as a card battling video game much like Magic: The Gathering, with pictures of cards and a whole new card system. Phantom Dust takes card based strategy and wraps it in action style gameplay similar to the Mega Man Battle Network series. Phantom Dust is a third-person action game created for the Xbox from Microsoft Game Studios Tokyo and Yukio Futatsugi (also creator of Panzer Dragoon Saga).
