Description
Long, long ago, there was an ancient kingdom called Ys which prospered under the auspices of two heavenly Goddesses. Over time, the kingdom came to be known as Esteria, and its divine history was largely forgotten by all but the descendants of those who once preached the Goddesses’ will. The only reminder of this lost lore was a cursed spire at the foot of a giant crater, which locals came to regard as “The Devil’s Tower.”

Eventually, the men and women who called Esteria their home began mining a uniquely radiant silver from the nearby mountains, and development boomed. Towns were built, and the land became rich with life.

Then, all at once, monsters began to appear. Only a few at first – but soon enough, the land was swarming with them, and the Esterians had no choice but to hide in fear, remaining ever vigilant just to stay alive.

Our story begins with a young man who’d heard rumors of these misfortunes, and strove to verify them with his own eyes; a brave swordsman with an adventurous spirit bolstered by his own youthful naiveté.

His name was Adol Christin.

With no regard for his own safety, Adol set sail toward Esteria through a heretofore impassable barrier of neverending storms. There, he was destined to become ensconced within a 700 year-old mystery that would ultimately take him to a long-lost land nestled amongst the clouds...

Ys I & II Chronicles+ is the most modernized and up-to-date remake of Falcom’s classic franchise-spawning action RPGs from 1987 and 1988. Come see how the story began, and witness the birth of a legend!
  • Classic buttonless “bump” combat receives a full analog-enabled upgrade for gamepad users, and is augmented in Ys II by a robust magic system.
  • Soundtrack selectable from among the original 80s FM-synth, an early 2000s MIDI-style remix or a modern studio performance by Falcom’s in-house rock band.
  • Character art selectable from 90s-style portraits or more modern anime designs.
  • Four selectable difficulty levels and optional boss rush mode grant players a true old-school challenge.

One of the Greatest Collections Ever!

Once you get used to the bump and grind you will love these two epic games. I own the TG-16 CD version and this is an alternate updated version of these games for PC that has nicer graphics and music options. Nothing beats that original TG-16 experience for me, but this is a great update for sure.

Fantastic remake of the 2 classic JRPGs

It's a fantastic remake that's worth every penny. The music is absolutely fantastic in this version. The only sad thing is that there are no Mac OS-X binaries.

This game! play it

This game is relentless! even on normal difficulty. I think that there's a special place for people that actually possess the mental fortitude to complete this game on any difficulty. I've only finishes Book 1 and I'm looking forward to booting up Book 2 because it was a rush!. by no means is it unbeatable. it just requires a considerable about of luck. DON'T BE DISCOURAGED. PLAY. THIS. GAME.

Good for what it is

I wanted to get into the Ys series for a while, and I was always a bit put off after watching gameplay videos. Turns out, the bump-to-attack mechanic was quite fun. It's not deep, there are no different builds or tactics to it, but for an old game this works fine. Bosses are the real highlights, and as I understand, they will remain so in all Ys games. What I was also worried about was writing, and it is also important to understand that this game represents its time. You just didn't get much better writing in an action RPG. If something like this gets released today in a fully priced JRPG game, it won't be accepted well. It is not bad, but it is not great at all. But I am hoping that getting to know the characters and events in Ys I and II will help me appreciate later games more, and after spending a couple of hours with Ys Origin, I am glad that I completed these two games. Like some other reviewers mentioned, there will be moments where you might not know waht to do. Don't waste too much of your time on figuring out what to do, use the guide. Overall, these two games are well worthy of your time. They are good old games.

A nice little two-pack.

Ys was something of an entry-level action RPG back in the day. This set is a remaster of a remake of the original two titles in the series. The gameplay itself is largely intact. Light inventory management, and real-time combat where you kind of bump into your enemies. The audiovisual presentation is very nice. Its come a long way since I played the first Ys on the Master System.
