"I love how the PC is allowing people to embrace its gaming history by constantly getting older titles updated to work on newer hardware and operating systems. Places like Steam open up a new world for recent PC gamers to dabble in these relics. Lately, it has also given gamers the opportunity to play previously Japanese only videogames in full English. Ys Origin (released in 2006 in Japan) is one of those titles that never saw the light of day outside of Japan. That is until Xseed got the rights to release the PC version on Steam, and now here we are with this respectable English translation of an action RPG series that sure has its fair share of fans. If you’re one of these fans, you’ll be happy to finally get to play and fully understand Ys Origin in all its splendour, and without any hiccups. Yippee!"
Ys Origin flashes back centuries to celebrate an RPG legend.
I've been playing through it for the first time on the Switch. It's pretty good. It's scratched my action RPG itch a bit and it's a unique game for the series. I would love to see a 3rd person remake one day.
COG writes: As Ys IX: Monstrum Nox for the PS4 has now arrived we thought it's the perfect time to rank the 8 Ys games of the series from the worst to the best.
Ys: Memories of Calceta was the best Vita game I have ever played. It was perfect on that system.
MonsterVine: "Ys Origin is a good entry into the series with a stronger focus on dungeon crawling than most of the other games it is related to. "
Never herd of this. After watching some gameplay videos I might pick this up.
If you like your action old school, fast and challenging then you'll most likely enjoy it.
