The "final" installment of the Phantasie trilogy was based around fighting the evil Nikademus and finishing him for good.

Phantasie III maintained the style of the original two and improved upon the graphics on all platforms except the DOS version.

It was also now possible to have a more tactical battle line-up, with the ability to move characters to the front, middle, or rear of the party.

The game also improved upon the spell list and added a larger variety of weapons and equipment.

[4][5] Phantasie III was reviewed in 1988 in Dragon #130 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column.
