A gift to those who spent their school years up late at night with "Illusion of Gaia" and "Secret of Mana."
While it may not do anything new or anything spectacularly well, there's no denying that it's a hell of a lot of fun.

We praise the designers' decision to make Adol a speedy little devil, so darting around towns and inevitably retreading terrain isn't such a tedious chore.
A worthwhile, if a bit short, trip down memory lane.
Ys noticeably lacks ambition, but it totally nails the classic feel it's going for. [March 2005, p.126]
It's a solid if uninspiring little game with a definite nostalgic appeal for fans of old action-RPGs such as "Crystalis" or "SoulBlazer." Or "Ys", for that matter.
This is clichéd, tedious, frustrating nonsense, as archaic in its gameplay as it is banal in its story. [Sept 2005, p.120]
Summary In the latest game in the series that originated in 1987, players assume the role of Adol Christian and embark on a rich adventure set on a deserted island.
