Foursaken Media's (Bug Heroes, Block Fortress) wizard-themed action-RPG Phantom Rift is coming out at midnight.

Yes, we told you about the game just yesterday, but is there any harm in making sure you're up with the times?

To recap, Phantom Rift is inspired by, and actually plays a lot like, Mega Man Battle Network.

As such, battles take place in lane-based grids, so you'll need to dodge and line up your attacks by moving sideways.

Outside of that, there's free-roaming exploration to be had across these chunky blocks. There are plenty of spells and equipment to find on your travels.

The game also has apparently "seamless" PvP multiplayer integration. You know, just in case you fancy blowing up some fellow humans.

You'll be able to purchase Phantom Rift on the UK and US App Stores at midnight for £1.99 / $2.99. It should also be coming to Android, either tomorrow or soon after.
