The final chapter in the Phantasie role-playing series finds the scheming Nikademus in a plot to conquer the world. Assemble a band of six adventurers to travel the continent of Scandor and slay an assortment of the dark lord's evil followers. Your ultimate goal is to confront and defeat Nikademus himself, but first you'll need to gather clues to his whereabouts. While the presentation is similar to previous titles, Phantasie III features some enhancements to gameplay. Bows are now available as weapons, and new spells have been added to a magic-user's repertoire. While in combat, you can move weakened characters to the back and heartier heroes to the front of the party. Individual body parts may be wounded, and you can manually assign skills. Build your party from scratch or continue characters from the two earlier Phantasie titles to fulfill your quest. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
