Handheld Players writes: "Ys Origin may not be the best looking PS Vita game or even the best looking Ys game but it is so much fun to play. Despite not having played a previous Ys game, the story is easy to follow and indeed makes the idea of playing the other Ys games more appealing. It can feel repetitive playing all three scenarios back-to-back so taking a break between them is advised. Interesting characters, easy to pick up gameplay and fast and fun action make Ys Origin an easy game to recommend."
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.

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. "
