Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution Image
  • Summary: A strangely powerful Photon-like substance found on Planet Ragol has spurred a raging battle between the Hunters and a rebel team called the Arkz. The prized matter known as "The Germ" has unique replicating powers and can be sealed in small playing-card-sized packets. Warriors carrying a deck of the sought-after cards can then bring unprecedented amounts of destructive weapons and creatures into battle. Fight with the Hero Hunters or on the rebels' Dark Side and stack your decks accordingly. You'll compose several powerful decks from nearly 500 cards featuring fighting moves, weapons, and PSO creatures. Expand

  1. Somehow, developer Sonic Team managed to meld everything great about the previous PSOs (aesthetic beauty, and engaging online community, and the never-ending quest for better equipment) with a simple, addictive card game. [Apr 2004, p.128]
  2. This is a craply-plotted sci-fi novel meets a game of chess meets Industrial Light & Magic meets Yu-Gi-Oh!. Fanboys: silence.

    Phantasy Star is an amazing RPG series. This new game should please all fans, young and old alike. PSO 3 is nothing short of a work of art.

    Absolutely fun! It is easy to understand and with the addiction of obtaining stronger cards will keep you playing. Brings back memories of manga type cutscenes from the older PS series. Expand

    I liked it and it's more than challenging after the ARKZ attack the Piooner 2!
