Ys I & II: Lost Ancient Kingdom

2021
Role-playing (RPG)Adventure

Boss Battles · Fantasy

An action RPG at heart, this title's combat revolves around a simple but satisfying "bump" system, where you ram into enemies to attack. Its brisk pace and focus on exploration, fuelled by a constant drip-feed of new abilities and areas, make for an engaging loop. The world-saving narrative, though typical for the genre, is elevated by a memorable soundtrack and a surprising amount of environmental storytelling.
