Loved it. The combat was amazing, It felt like an evolution of psp version of 3 with way more characters and weapons instead of just adol.

I LOVE THIS GAME! i first played it back on PSP and loved it then, and still do. The version on Steam is a Definete Glow up from the PSP version, with much better graphics. Despite Steam saying that YS 7 doesn't work on the Steam Deck IT DOES, AND IT WORK REALLY WELL. It worked right away and did not require any really tweaking or adjustments to get it working. When it loads there is an option to customize visuals, controls, sound and all of that stuff. This comes up evertime the game is loaded. The game runs very well and very smoothly with no problems at all. I didn't notice any glitches or problems as i played it. The story is fun and engaging, with alot of diffrent types of charecters to meet and interact with. The comabt is a pretty simple, hack and slash system with skills and burst type powers. The comabt is very fast paced and easy to get through quickly. The game will take about 20ish hours to get through. I love the Story, The Charecters and the Gameplay. I DEFINETLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE!! YS 7 IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVOUITE GAMES!

Just generally a really fun game, with a great cast of characters and a heartful story that doesn't overstay it's welcome. Gameplay overall is fun and fast paced, though on Hard some enemies do feel like bullet sponges. Easy recommend, might be my favourite Ys game, which I wasn't expecting to say after playing Ys 8.

Ys Seven is a fast-paced action RPG that shifts the series from solo combat to a party-based system, emphasizing teamwork, weapon variety, and continuous momentum. Set in the kingdom of Altago, it introduces a new structure built around open regions rather than the tighter dungeons of earlier entries. This redesign allows for a more fluid gameplay loop focused on traversal, combat, and field exploration. The story centers on Adol and Dogi as they become entangled in a conflict tied to Altago’s Five Dragons. Political tension between the monarchy, military, and local tribes frames the narrative, giving it more grounded stakes before expanding into mythological territory. While the plot structure is straightforward, it provides a clear motivation for exploration and links character arcs to the world’s broader struggles. Combat is the game’s main appeal. Real-time battles rely on swapping between characters with different attack types—slash, strike, and pierce—to counter enemy resistances. This system gives each encounter a strategic layer while maintaining the series’ signature speed. Skill usage, resource management, and enemy pattern recognition combine to create an energetic rhythm that rarely slows down. Characters are distinct in role and feel. Adol’s balanced style contrasts with Geis’s aggressive speed, Aisha’s precision, and Dogi’s heavy-hitting strikes. Each character learns unique abilities that can be leveled through use, encouraging experimentation with team composition. Boss battles showcase these differences well, requiring rapid switches and sustained awareness to succeed. Exploration blends towns, plains, deserts, forests, and shrines into compact zones that connect seamlessly. The world design encourages frequent movement between regions as the story progresses. Materials collected in the field support crafting and upgrading, which substitute for traditional item drops. This system reinforces a sense of progression tied directly to exploration rather than random chance. Visual and audio presentation reflects the PSP’s limitations but remains effective. Character models and environments are stylized, with smooth animation that supports the combat-first focus. Falcom’s music team delivers energetic tracks that elevate boss fights and add atmosphere to each region, compensating for the hardware’s graphical constraints. Ys Seven succeeds by modernizing the series without sacrificing its core identity. The party system, expanded world structure, and fast combat create a dynamic experience that remains influential in later entries. For players seeking an action RPG built around speed, clarity, and mechanical variety, it stands as a key milestone in the franchise’s evolution.

I rate Ys Seven very high as my second favourite of all the Ys games, it has the best soundtrack imo, really fun combat with a lot of playable character variety, solid plot and characters despite there being no voice acting, a landscape with tons of variety and exploration. It however has one big issue, the balancing and difficulty. On Normal you should have absolutely no issue, at worst bosses will overstay their welcome at times but nothing impossible or too frustrating. Go any higher and it becomes a mess, Hard and Nightmare halve your healing if not worse, everything will 2 hit you and bosses like the one at the wind temple or the final boss will have you think to yourself if the game isn't broken as if the bosses are at 2x speed. Some bosses are doable without taking a single hit because they are so predictable and easy to read and then there are the 2 bosses I mentioned that have 20 attack moves without a second for the player to even attack. What the game wants you to do is use the block feature which never got explained, the only way to find out is going in the keybind settings. I'm trying to not make it seem like a skill issue but the main take away is that it seems like the difficulties didn't get enough playtesting, it's either too easy or it's really frustrating for the average player. Don't bother going above the Normal difficulty with this one as a new player because you can't lower it in the settings later on.
