Greetings, slayers!
We’ve tried to make Phantom Halls a little deeper than first meets the eye. But have you been missing certain gameplay elements as a result?
Today we wanted to walk you through just a few of these less obvious components to the game, and how to better tackle the challenges found within the Phantom Halls!
Self-Defence
When using a melee weapon against one of the grotesque creatures of Phantom Halls, you can block their attacks with quick timing and spotting the quick visual cue that pops up when the enemy is about to strike.
As soon as you see the red exclamation point, quickly hit your character’s action button. If you time it just right, you’ll block the attack, leaving the enemy wide open for a nasty strike of your own. Just make sure you don’t miss!
Head Means Dead
When we first launched Phantom Halls into Early Access, a shot was a shot - it didn’t matter where it landed. But this didn’t quite seem right, so we’ve changed it. Now, shooting for the head does maximum damage - so make sure to hone your aim, and you’ll be rewarded with the nice crackle and pop of an enemy’s skull imploding.
There are few things better than exploding some zombie brains with a single pull of the trigger, don'tcha think?
Why Bring A Flashlight?
As we keep saying, it’s not a very bright idea to go into Phantom Halls without some light to guide you. But why is this exactly?
Giving a flashlight or a torch to one of your party members will not only allow you to see in the dark (which is a good starting point), but it also gives your party an accuracy and damage boost when using ranged weapons.
We have more plans for the flashlight in the months ahead, so watch this space!
Follow The Leader
Sometimes if someone isn’t getting the job done, you gotta do it yourself.
You can switch which character you’re using while in a mission by bringing up the inventory, then clicking on the crown of the character you’d like to switch to. Switching party leaders can allow you to lead with a melee weapon, save on health points, or protect your most important character!
We hope you’ve found these tips and tricks helpful. And remember, our V0.07 patch went live last week - take a look at what it includes!
Until next time, RIP folks!
