Been playing the Ys games and this is a solid one. Not top tier but the combat is super snappy and just as fun as the new Ys games that gives you a party to manage. Mostly wanted to play this to check out as many of the Ys games as possible. Been enjoying the series tons and gotten through 5 games so far. The quests are pretty basic and story isn't as deep as other games. Don't want to compare it to SEVEN or Lacrimosa but made the mistake of playing those before this one. Great game though, definitely worth a play (especially if on sale).

Another story of the adventures of the greatest hero in the history of the world, Adol Christin. In each game Adol travels around the world looking for trouble, and setting things right that once went wrong. He doesn't gets involved in minor issues such as disputes between kingdoms or cats stuck in trees. I mean... he does assist with all that stuff too, but those are just his side-quests. In each game he's typically dealing with situations that are of critical importance. All consuming evil that threatens either an entire land of people, or worldwide devastation. Basically... if Adol weren't running around doing what he was doing... the entire universe would have imploded 10 different ways by now. He's like Neo from the Matrix, only he's gotta deal with Freddy, Jason, Godzilla, Skeletor, Zod and a handful of other virtually unstoppable monsters throughout his lifetime. I've been playing the YS series for decades now. This one is a lot of fun. This game is kinda the stepping stone between the old and the new YS games as far as graphics and gameplay are concerned. The story was cool, but my favorite parts were all the little stories and dialogues between different characters in each town throughout the game. If you take the time to talk to and listen to all the random villagers, there are a lot of funny little stories and interactions to be seen. Many of which develop throughout the game. My favorite was Sandra in the alleyway of the first town. She's one of many I recommend hitting up over and over throughout the playthrough. Very funny and entertaining. PROS: -Fun addictive gameplay -Good music -Very smooth framerate -Dated but appealing graphics -Lots of cool characters will be added to your party, each with their own unique skills and abilities for combat and puzzle solving CONS: -Easy boss fights if you're powered up -Though the music is good, it doesn't meet the typical standards of an YS game -Maybe a little bit long if you're a completionist If you like action RPGs, this one is a lot of fun. Another great YS game.

The combat is fast, snappy, and consistently fun, supported by a skill progression system that remains engaging throughout the entire experience. You’re constantly unlocking new skills, even toward the end of the game, which is always a welcome surprise and keeps combat feeling fresh. Party balance plays a big role in that freshness. Each party member specializes in a specific type of damage, meaning no single character ever feels like the outright best option. This encourages swapping characters and experimenting with party compositions, keeping combat dynamic instead of falling into a one-character solution. Exploration is just as thoughtfully designed. The overworld is genuinely enjoyable to traverse, rewarding curiosity without ever feeling like filler. On top of that, each party member brings unique exploration abilities that open up new parts of the map, tying progression, exploration, and party composition together in a way that feels natural and satisfying. Customization adds another meaningful layer. Weapon upgrading allows you to add affinities and tailor builds to your preferred playstyle, while armor upgrades let you customize defenses for different situations. These systems promote experimentation without becoming overwhelming. Pacing is one of the game’s greatest strengths. There’s no bloat here—just a short but sweet story that keeps things constantly moving and never drags, respecting your time from start to finish. Voice acting is fairly sparse, but what is there is top-notch and well delivered, adding impact where it matters. If you’re looking for a well paced action RPG with fun combat, smart party design, rewarding progression, and satisfying exploration, this is an easy recommendation.

A very average game compared to the previous entries. Not as fun but still worth playing at some point.

My first game I have played in the series. I tried this one first all the way back on the PS Vita but never ended up playing past the first few hours. I'm glad I finally had a chance to finish it! Y's has inspired numerous games, but it's good to see why the original is best. The combat is extremely fluid and fast, which held my attention throughout the entirety of the game. It's also a great game to just zone out and explore, find chests, complete the maps, compendiums, etc. Negatives would be the story which is very simplistic. It is still good enough though and I'd say above average for the genre. Overall, an enjoyable, inexpensive, lightweight game that you can sink a lot of time into if you are a completionist.
