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. See More

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. See More

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 popular classic. The game definitely brings back many good gaming memories. See More

Original combat

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. See More
