Ys Chronicles I reviews

Very Good game, a classic JRPG, very playable and with a masterful soundtrack. Although with the amount of translations it has, that is not the Spanish cries out to heaven. In Short If you understand any of the 8 languages to which it is translated perfect, but if not, you will not enjoy it (to the drawer of oblivion). To see if they dare to translate it into Castilian.

Until the third Bossfight, the Game is a lot of Fun. It is an authentic and successful Implementation with great Nostalgia factor and great Score! The third Bossfight was already difficult on SNES with good Controller, on Touch devices only with virtual Controller it is almost impossible to do that. After 30 Attempts, I gave it up. Frustration!

I bought this title on the same day of the release and I immediately fell in love: Beautiful plot, great gameplay, but I'm stuck by more than 1 month to the Vampire boss (third boss to take the third book of Ys) I'm firm of experience at level 10 and then , that boss, inflicts too much damage on me. SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I'M curious, I want to move on.

The good, the music is fitting and the use of the movement and attacking with just a simple tab on the screen is a joy. Great to replay an 80s JRPG game in this way. The bad, there are two bars, one on top and one below the screen that are totally unnecessary and had the publisher put more effort in the game it would be great but alas. What we get is an unbalanced game that is to easy in overall and notorious unfair in some of the boss battles. The ugly, the price is to much for what we are getting.

Ys is a casual action RPG that does not take too long to finish. Unfortunately, there isn't much story to go through, and side quests are few and easily missed. Not many items & equipment to collect, no spells to use, only 10 exp. levels, which you'll soon max out. It comes with several difficulty levels, a time attack mode, and achievements, so it does have some replay value and can provide a challenge at higher difficulty levels. Pretty casual played on normal. The attack bump mechanic works well for the most part: you just bump into enemies trying to avoid hitting them head on and that's all there is to it. It does have two of the most infuriatingly frustrating bosses near the end, but i beat them anyway, so take that Ys! Worth the money, but YMMV.
