Eventually, the men and women who called Esteria their home began mining a uniquely radiant silver from the nearby mountains, and development boomed. Towns were built, and the land became rich with life.
Then, all at once, monsters began to appear. Only a few at first – but soon enough, the land was swarming with them, and the Esterians had no choice but to hide in fear, remaining ever vigilant just to stay alive.
Our story begins with a young man who’d heard rumors of these misfortunes, and strove to verify them with his own eyes; a brave swordsman with an adventurous spirit bolstered by his own youthful naiveté.
His name was Adol Christin.
With no regard for his own safety, Adol set sail toward Esteria through a heretofore impassable barrier of neverending storms. There, he was destined to become ensconced within a 700 year-old mystery that would ultimately take him to a long-lost land nestled amongst the clouds...

Dope ass rock music? Check.
DVD Screensaver bosses? Check.
Old ass but satisfying Combat that is just simple bumping? Check.
Adol fucking Christin? HELL YS.
A classic remaster of the 80s Ys game that includes 2 Ys games with PSP Remastered Artwork, though still quite blurry it has its charms. Not very long but you can grind it out a little. Solid Game and one for the ages. Recommend if you tried out 8 and wanted to know more of Adol's adventures and where it began, but if you want to skip thats fine too, you can jump to any of the other entries since they are mostly standalone adventures with few returning cast members.
Edit: It doesnt take 5 hours to complete both gamess. For some reason the review only took YS 1's playtime, but it should be about 15hours on average if you are going for some achievments and might take longer for all.
I played Ys 1/2 after 8/9/10 and I'm glad I did. I initially wasn't going to because Ys games are self contained but these games are quick, fun, and well worth it for a better understanding of the story as a whole. Amazing music and basically just pure SOVL. Use a guide though, god damn game design in the 80s was obtuse
Very old game if you played it before or looking to see where the Ys series started this is the game for you. not a hack and slash but a bump in to the enemy constantly to do damage. The music is great and I found myself humming some of the tunes while driving to work or just hearing it in my head. 100% achievements on this title is not for the feint of heart. Im serious when i say this is probably on the levels of Mike Tyson from Punch out hard of a final boss, that you have to do twice if you do the boss rush achievement. I still cold sweat thinking about that fight but still worth playing
So i recently got into y's through y's 8 and 9. So i decided to play the entire series chronologically. And im impressed, the story is surprsingly interesting and its main gameplay mechanics are pretty good. The one place the game really trips over itself is the boss fights, i played the game on hard (mind theres an even higher difficulty called nightmare) and i used almost an hour on the second to last fight. though ill give the game a pass because of its age. As this somehow predates the first final fantasy game, just to put it into perspective.
If you decide to play it. You should manually limit the fps to 30 as the game speed increases with a higher fps. I did so through the nividia control panel.
Overall though, i enjoyed it.
These older games are sometimes impossible to beat on new systems because of the lazy programming that was used back then. Making a boss's mechanics reliant on frame rate and refresh rate of a monitor is absolutely insane. The vampire boss in this game has projectiles and vulnerability based on both so if you're playing on anything higher than 30 fps that it was programmed for then you are going to have a hard time. If you are playing on a high end monitor and graphics card you are absolutely screwed. He is basically invincible 99% of the time regardless of how fast or where you hit him, you will just pass through and the amount of bats he generates when he transforms into the bat swarm is insane due to the high refresh rate the game's code is looking at. They cover half the screen and sometimes swarm for ages instead of him reforming.
game
Simple and short game, it's definitely weird to play with the bump-to-attack system (also avoiding hitting enemies head-on)
It serves as a decent start to the Ys series, there is some amount of lore to introduce the world and many hidden details that you will need a guide if you want to 100% it (you won't be missing anything important though if you don't want to go for it)
It shows its age, but if you grab it on a discount, it's definitely worth playing!
Really enjoyed this game bundle. Very much worth the price. The only problem with these games is the fact that the bump system is a love it or hate kind of deal. Nonetheless really good games full of SOVL!!!
Old but Gold
I first played the Ys series a few years ago, and after playing Ys X Nordics I decided to go back and replay the first game. Ys 1 holds up very well, for the most part. There are a few cryptic clues throughout the game, but that aside I had a fantastic time with it. The bump combat system might be a hurdle for some action-oriented players, but I think it helps add to the game's charm. It's been a while since I've played Ys 2, but it's also a phenomenal game, even better than the original in my opinion. For the price, you're getting a fantastic duology of classic JRPGs.
Love bumping to things.
There's something about the original JRPGs that's so endearing. Stuff like Dragon Quest 1 or Ys 1+2, where there weren't really any standard rule for the genre. This game's attempts at a top-down action RPG are still quite janky in this remake, but the world, pacing, and soundtrack just work so well. Second game has a few annoying parts that might get you googling answers, but overall the experience holds up and is still worth playing.
The unorthodox combat becomes easy once you get the hang of it. Fun story, characters, and charming graphics. Amazing music as always for Ys as well.
Wasn't a big fan of the bump system at first but given the game's original release date and technical limitations at the time, I give it the benefit of the doubt. Overall, it's not a bad game, it's got some fun moments, but definitely not the type of game where you want to jump into Nightmare difficulty right away.
Although this is one of the "easier" titles to beat on the highest difficulty, its end game has some BS to it. The music is great like you'd expect out of a Falcom title. I personally don't feel the need to play it again but it's nice to see where some of the Ys series roots came from, and looking forward to other titles in the series.
It has a couple stumbles when it comes to hinting at objectives (looking at you, final dungeon >.>), but overall, not a hard game to figure out. It just sucks that the Nightmare difficulty can be a lot of BS with pretty much no way for you to control it other than just keep grinding at the bosses.
TLDR: Get the game if you're looking for an Ys Series title, can't go wrong with it, just don't jump into Nightmare right out the gate.
Word of caution on the final boss (no spoilers): Change the settings on the monitor the game window is on so that it plays at 60 Hz only, and turn on V-Sync. The final battle has a movement bug where Adol doesn't move at the correct speed. Attempting the boss fight without this fix is basically impossible without it.
Ys is on: NEC PC-8801, Sharp X1, MSX2, FM-7, NEC PC-9801, Sharp X68000, Master System, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, NES, Super NES, Nintendo DS, Windows, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, TurboGrafx-CD, Apple IIGS, mobile phones, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Google Stadia, PlayStation 5.
Short and sweet.
I grew up the the Sega Master System version of this game and have played the Turbo CD version, as well as the DS version. This is by far the best edition of Ys 1: the movement is snappy, combat is intuitive and the story, such as it is, is all there.
As a game this is an outstanding product of its time and one of the progenitors of the ARPG genre. The bump combat will take some getting used to for most people.
I also appreciate that it's a shorter RPG, as a contrast to the 100-hour behemoths that have been coming out recently.
Ys 1 = Daniel
Ys 2 = The Cooler Daniel
Seriously, Ys 1 bosses are full of bullshits that made me go AAAAAAAA. Outside of boss fights, the game is good. Ys 2 improves everything that Ys 1 lacked and made the game much more enjoyable, If you don't want to suffer, just watch a playthrough of Ys 1 and play Ys 2 yourself.
As a relatively new fan to this series (First playing a bit of SEVEN on the psp then fully playing through 8 on the ps4) I at one point played the psp version of Ys 1 and remember enjoying it. Now coming back to replay this game on the steam version, I'm realizing just how much I truly missed upon finishing my first play through of the game. Ys has slowly become one of my favorite series of all time and despite it's age the games that began this series really don't disappoint.
Rough start till you learn the system but once you figure it out its an absolute classic
This is a wonderfully delightful blend of familiar and different with some nostalgia for 90s anime fans if you play using the "Complete" art style. Its low level cap, early use of health regeneration, very limited item use, and the "bump combat" system make the game a truly unique experience. Highly recommend for action RPG fans that like fantasy anime, and JRPG fans of classics and remasters.
I have really enjoyed this game, but I have to warn those that play to go into the settings and LOCK THE FRAMERATE TO 60 FPS. Higher frame rates result in bosses preforming more attacks, resulting in them being much harder and more luck than skill.
play!
Fuck Dark Fact
Seriously though this game is history. Its music is fantastic. Play it.
I played this first on the MSX quite some time ago. This may be the best place to rent it now. It's old in some ways, but still surprisingly fresh.
It's not as good or as important as Hydlide, but I loved it then and love it now.
A very charming, short RPG. In a day and age where 100+ hour RPGs feels like the norm. This is a very refreshing -10 hours RPG that can be cleared in a weekend. Only a couple later bosses really provide a tough as nails difficulty, most of the challenge is in understanding the systems. Which I'll just give you a couple tips; run into enemies from a diagonal, and prioritize survival.
I just finished the first game but so far it's great. Very short, very sweet.
At it's core I'd say this is still an "old game", but there were only a few moments that actually felt poorly designed. The rest of the game honestly surprised me with how good it was. The game has a very basic save system where you can save anytime and if you die you have to load a save. I wasn't a fan at first, but compared to the other option of having to run back to where you were, I think they made the best choice. Especially for some of those boss fights... I loved the bump system because it turns walking through dungeons from a random encounter slog fest into a high speed sprint. Paired with great musical arrangements, this game was just a really fun time.
Highly recommend, especially for $4
i'll update when i beat the second game. ngl i'm worried about that magic...
you called it Personal Space,
i called it BUMP Mechanic.
Please, for your own sanity, cap your FPS to 60 before you fight the final boss. That minor gripe aside, the game is fantastic
are yukihiro jindo and masaru teramae the best to ever do it?
Thank god i don't have epilepsy.
Love this game! I'm glad I finally picked it up. Like a lot of older games of the same caliber, it's pretty difficult. There's a lot of figuring out stuff on your own and the bosses have zero chill. 10/10 would play again.
I do recommend this game.. but my experience of this game could have been better. Let me explain:
Firstly, I played on Hard Mode-- which was my choice as a I tend to be quite skilled / overleveled in games like these. However, I played the game as I would any game; on 144 hz (144FPS)
I played the entire game thinking all bosses were insanely RNG and that I couldn't win a SINGLE fight without a large amount of luck involved, until I realised when I reached the final boss that the game doesnt work as intended if it is not 60 FPS or below.
This means in my playthrough, the projectiles were moving at more than DOUBLE the speed and I couldn't hit a boss more than once per attack window due to how fast the boss would recover from being hit.
I give the game props as it was enjoyable for a very old game but I wish I had the full experience while playing it (under 60FPS). Maybe next playthrough!
CONCLUSION:
Decent RPG adventure for how old the game is, but be warned to play the game on 60FPS or below!
I had fun
Bumping function took a while to get used to, also the weird controller mappings, but still enjoyed my time with it.
7/10 , для своего времени очень даже хорошо
Oldie but Goldie.
Game goes black once you leave the room after the first cutscene. There is audio, but only a black screen. Alt+tabbing back into the game shows a frozen screen. Unplayable.
short and relatively friendly game, so long as you don't play on nightmare, in which case there are some bosses with questionable game design, that can be incredibly frustrating and RNG to defeat.
Save your money. This game is not for sale. This game is "for lease" only. Hence, you don't own it and never will.
Ys I & II Chronicles+ – A Nostalgic Journey with Modern Touches
Ys I & II Chronicles+ offers a delightful return to the classic action RPGs that started the beloved Ys series. Released in 2011, this collection not only revitalizes the original adventures of Adol Christin but also enhances them with modern graphics and quality-of-life improvements, making it accessible to both newcomers and longtime fans.
The storytelling in Ys I & II is charming, blending fantasy elements with a straightforward yet engaging narrative. Players follow Adol as he explores the land of Esteria, uncovering ancient mysteries and battling various foes. The dialogue is concise and serves the purpose of moving the story along without overwhelming players, making for a pleasant experience.
Gameplay remains a highlight of the Chronicles+ edition. The combat system is fast-paced and intuitive, allowing players to engage enemies in a unique "bump" mechanic that feels fluid and satisfying. The levels are designed with exploration in mind, encouraging players to uncover secrets and treasures, which adds an enjoyable layer of depth to the adventure.
Visually, the enhanced graphics breathe new life into the classic titles. The character sprites and backgrounds are beautifully rendered, with vibrant colors that capture the essence of the Ys series. The updated art style, combined with a remastered soundtrack, elevates the overall presentation and makes for an immersive experience.
One of the notable improvements in Chronicles+ is the inclusion of various difficulty settings, catering to both new players and those seeking a challenge. Additionally, the inclusion of a rewind feature allows for easy navigation through tricky sections, making the game more forgiving for those unfamiliar with its mechanics.
However, while the enhancements are commendable, some aspects of the gameplay may feel dated to modern players. The simplistic nature of the quests and the linear progression might not satisfy those looking for more complex RPG mechanics. Additionally, while the combat is enjoyable, it can sometimes feel repetitive over extended play sessions.
In summary, Ys I & II Chronicles+ is a charming collection that successfully brings classic adventures to a new audience. With its engaging story, fast-paced combat, and modern enhancements, it provides a nostalgic experience for fans while remaining accessible to newcomers. While it may not completely satisfy those seeking deep RPG mechanics, it is a delightful journey that captures the spirit of the Ys series and is well worth exploring for anyone looking to dive into a classic adventure.
A great first entry to Ys. A very interesting and good story considering it was written in 1987, and as one of the first landmark JRPGs, it has amazing presentation. Of course, this is a remake so that is to be expected. You don't really need a lot of words to explain this game. A 9/10 game packaged with its' sequel that goes on sale quite often for less than 5 dollars. What more could you ask for?
It's fun.

Fantastic remake of an old game, very enjoyable with top tier music from 3 different periods in time
123
Good games. About 10-15 hours for both. Old school. First time playing. You may need a guide thats alright. Game has its flaws but for a game from ancient times it actually holds up really well. First game is set up for second game.
Wow. Awesome!! I have 5 hrs in Ys I and 7.5 hrs in Ys II and man there really is something really SPECIAL about these games.
But beware... they are OLD, HARD, ARCHAIC, and LABYRINTHINE; even more so for Ys II.
I don't care who knows it - I played this on EASY with maps and a guide walk-through (mostly relying on the maps and using the guide more at the end of the second game). I have no idea how anyone could beat these games without those things. Thank god the internet exists so I could enjoy these games and not spend dozens of hours backtracking. Like dang these are brutal games. Even following the online maps was like playing "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" - where you are just cross checking everything and making sure you know where you are and certain items are.
Anyways - still a total recommend from me dawg; just go in with the right head space and ammunition (the internet) and enjoy the story and items and characters and world!
THE MUSIC ROCKS!!!
PS bump systems is cool!
bumper car
No game has made me laugh and cry as much as Ys 2 did.
My second Ys game that I've beaten, it has amazing music, art and story like the other games, loved it!
