Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is a classic action-JRPG experience as fun as it is brutally challenging, even on lower difficulties.
CCG writes - "Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is, in many ways, a purified action RPG. As time has gone on, this entry in particular has been shown to be one of the best action RPGs of its kind, and a top-rated entry in the Ys series. It runs great on Nintendo Switch, though it is less expensive on PC; you can't go wrong with either version. It's not a particularly long adventure, as the average time to beat it is around twelve hours, though it could be more or less depending on skill level."
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Even if, as a remaster, Ys Memoire doesn't move the needle much, the base game is absolutely worth playing, both for admirers of action-RPGs and for newer Ys fans who want to experience Adol's earlier adventures. If you already have the Steam or PSP version, you'd probably need this version only for the convenience of playing on a modern console. If, however, you've never experienced the game, this is a perfect opportunity to play the best, most complete version of it."
NL: "The latest UK charts are in and, with only one new release to speak of, the list is much as you might expect. Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana was the only new entry to the chart this week, just sneaking into the top 40 to land in 38th in its debut week (with a 53%/47% console split for PS5 and Switch, respectively)."
It’s a remake of a PSP game and the physical copy doesn’t come out until Jan 21st. It’s not going to sell 10 million copies
The review on COGconnected praises Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana as a grueling classic. It highlights the game's slick combat, gorgeous music, and challenging gameplay. The story follows Adol Christin and his friend Dogi as they navigate the monster-infested land of Felghana to help their friend Elena and confront the ruling lord.
