Ambition of the Illuminus adds a likeable new arc and welcome additions to Phantasy Star Universe. Mainly worth it for players who clicked with the base game; otherwise easy to skip.

An expansion to the online adventure, this entry adds classes, areas and missions to a formula already built to last. Hunting rare loot, levelling your characters and cooperating extends the game by dozens of hours. That surplus of content, grafted onto an addictive loop, makes it an even more generous cut for farming devotees.

Is Phantasy Star Universe - Ambition of the Illuminus still worth playing in 2026?
An expansion of Sega's MMORPG, Phantasy Star Universe Ambition of the Illuminus enriches the science fantasy adventure with new areas, missions and customisation options, in a world mixing laser sword and magic against a galactic conspiracy. The real time action, the item hunting and the cooperative online play appealed to genre fans. The closure of the online servers now cuts away part of the experience. An action RPG to recommend for fans of Phantasy Star and gear hunting in solo or offline play.
