Phantom Dust/Modes

Single player

This is where the player is put into an underground city and a lot of the explanations for the Dust are found. There are 114 mission that you must complete to beat the game. These missions are triggered by talking with the inhabitants of the underground city. You travel to the surface during these missions where you have psychic powers. After prolonged exposure the Dust will cause a person to lose their memory. This is the reason why surface trips are limited to fifteen minute intervals.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer is limited to a max of four players. The development team tried eight player matches but the gameplay became too hectic so the limit was decided. All players can talk to each other in the lobby and interestingly during the loading screen before a match.

Gametypes

There are three gametypes that you can play through Xbox Live and system link that you can choose from.

• Battle Royale

Battle Royale puts you against 1 - 3 players. It's every person for themselves in this gametype (Free for all)

Caution!

Due to how teams are decided, picked by each player, it is possible for a player to switch teams and the host to launch the game. This will create a 3 on 1 match that even the best Phantom Dust players will need the best of luck to win. Currently there are people on Live that are doing this on purpose for the easy win. If you are not playing with friends, like through Optimatch, keep an eye out for a player to switch teams. If you are quick enough you can switch teams and the host cannot launch the game.

• One on One

A very simple gametype that can lend itself to "dirty" tactics. It's not uncommon for disadvantaged players to run and hide to cause a draw.

• Tag Team

A gametype wear team A is set against team B. Teams are decided in the lobby by each player. You can play normal 2 on 2 or, if you think your tough enough, 3 on 1. Teams can not hear each other in the match although there is one skill that allows you to eavesdrop on the other team. There is also a few skills that are geared toward this gamemode.
