I'd usually write up a lengthy or witty review but my heart really isn't into it this time around.

To be blunt, this is a fairly shoddy effort and not worth the time, even if you're curious.

You want more? OK...Knives, yay (louder!).

Dear goodness, now I'm making MLP references to liven things up here. That's how dreary of a hack this is. It'll bore you to tears as you die over and over with nothing but an endless grind ahead of you just to get past the most basic of mobs until you outlevel and can overpower them through sheer attrition. Pack plenty of healing items and go to town, then recharge after each battle, rinse and repeat until you stop dying all the time (which will take forever).

I don't know about you but that doesn't sound like fun or challenging, just dreary and frustrating. To each, their own I guess.

The author got one thing right, it is definitely a difficult challenge to get through this game with only a knife but I doubt if the author bothered to play through it completely as claimed. If such a feat was done legitimately, why not an LP on YouTube it to brag? Its not every day you see something like that especially in a game of this caliber.

It isn't listed here, but Google for the Phantasy Star 3 rom hack called 'Nial Edition' by 'TheKromede' (author of many other awesome PS hacks). The Nial Edition hack is far superior to something like this by leaps and bounds. Get the version that's on the Phantasy Star Cave, that one seems to work better with most roms.
