Ittle dew

Pro
Familiar Zelda feel
•••
With some puns and jokes aimed at the original game. Like "ew are you eating that heart?"
Top
Pro
Tons of puzzles
•••
Lots and lots of puzzles, and multiple ways to finish the game. Comprised of mainly block moving puzzles to progress room to room in the games dungeons. While there are a few other puzzles throughout the game, mainly block moving is what the player will be doing.
Top
Con
Puzzles can feel repetitive
•••
While there are a lot of puzzles to solve in the game, there are only three objects that are used to solve them and after a while it can feel repetitive due to how limited the puzzle solving can be.

Pro
Seamless switching of game mechanics
•••
The gameplay changes from action based combat resembling Secret of Mana or Zelda to turn based (when fighting bosses) that resembles Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger. This switchng back and forth fits with the theme of the game where it covers years of RPG releases of different genres.

Pro
Offers a good bit of nostalgia
•••
Starting the game one is playing something very reminiscent of a classic Gameboy game, many elements borrowed from famous franchises of the time. As the player advance the game changes it's graphics to match all of the popular consoles from the last 30 years and each change resembles many other...
Top
Con
Too generic
•••
While trying to pay tribute to the great classics in the RPG genre the game itself lacks any feeling of "soul" or personality making for a tale that is just too familiar and obvious.

Ys I & II Chronicles+
•••
Add Video or Image
Top
Pro
Original combat
•••
Ys I and II uses a combat system known as "bump combat" where the player just runs into their enemies in real time, bumping into enemies attacks with ones equipped weapon and has to be done repeatedly in order to defeat them.
Top
Pro
Updated features over the original
•••
With new features like keyboard controls, user adjustable resolution and screen frame to go around the 4:3 viewing area make for the optimal release of the tile.
Top
Con
Tons of grinding
•••
Like a lot of old school RPGs, Ys features a lot of grinding in order to defeat boss's. This can become tiresome after some time as it is just doing the same thing over and over again in order to progress.

Visually impressive environments
•••
The environments of the game use bright colors and are rendered in a pleasant looking birdseye view 3D. The forest sections of the game stand out with light shining through the trees as well as the water in the sailing sections stand out the most.

Con
Combat is too easy
•••
The enemies in the game, including bosses have obvious attacks that are easily anticipated making for what is pretty easy combat that does not offer much of a challenge.
