Description
Red-haired adventurer extraordinaire Adol Christin has finally reunited with his best pal, Dogi, and is eager to begin a new adventure in Afroca. It seems fate has other plans, however, as a pirate captain named Ladoc catches up with him during a brief stopover in the port city of Ediz, and presents him with an offer he simply can’t refuse.

Ladoc, it happens, is the father of an old acquaintance from one of Adol’s previous adventures, and he wishes to solicit Adol’s expertise in exploring the mysterious western islands of Canaan. There, a phenomenon similar to the Stormwall from Adol’s first ever quest in Esteria is occurring, completely cutting off all trade and communication both in and out. The land is thus completely uncharted, and may hold treasures of heretofore unseen value.

Never ones to back away from a good mystery, Adol and Dogi both agree to join Ladoc and his daughter, Terra, on this expedition aboard their ship, the “Tres Mares.” It seems the Romuns have their sights set on Canaan as well, however, and they’re none too keen on a ragtag group of pirates and adventurers getting in their way. When the Tres Mares is inevitably attacked at sea, Adol is knocked overboard and left for dead.

He washes ashore in Canaan itself, alive but weakened, rescued and resuscitated by two young girls named Isha and Olha who sport long ears and bushy tails. They are of the native “Rehda” tribe, and it seems Adol is not the first human to arrive here—nor are humans particularly welcome...
  • As a special bonus, Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim includes an optional download of the Ys VI Material Collection, a digital art collection featuring original illustrations and concept sketches from the development of the game.
  • The fast, real-time combat Ys is known for gets a new twist: three swords that control differently and house unique magical abilities which factor into all battle combos.
  • Set to quintessentially Ys rock music composed by the legendary Falcom Sound Team jdk, giant monstrosities fill the screen and use clever tactics to try and end Adol’s quest!
  • Adjustable high-rez graphics, gamepad support, added warping among checkpoints, and a new “Catastrophe Mode” where healing items can’t be purchased or stored, combine for the best Ys VI yet.

My second Ys game

Fun action rpg

This is a nice action RPG which moves fairly fast. I like the graphics style of mixing 2D and 3D, and it manages to run quite well on my 10 year old non-gaming laptop, which is a great plus. The story is traditional JRPG fare. Good for keeping you going, not so much for thinking. As other reviews have mentioned, the game does require a bit of grind, but I found that every time I did level up myself and my weapons, it an improvement which was satisfyingly felt. There were a couple areas where I really struggled going into, having to find ways to fight some enemies to even damage them. But usually one levelup of tricky combat, and they turned from daunting threats to doable enemies. And by the time I'd finished off an area, the big threats were something to just dispatch easily. Quite satisfying even if it took some work to get there. My main gripe lies not with the grind (That is part and parcel of any jrpg, at least this has action too), but rather having to traipse back and forth trying to find out where I could progress the story and hint at which area I might be able to tackle next. In all, I quite enjoyed my time with the game. Recommended if the aesthetics appeal to you, you want some not too deep action and don't mind grinding a bit.

A very good Ys

While not the best entry in the series, this game is certainly worth your time and your money if either: 1. You liked any other Ys' games 2. You enjoy intense A-RPG 3. You feel like exploring all corners of an archipelago

2/5 and I'm being generous

This game is rough, it follows the same design pilosophy of Oath in Felghana, combat is active and levels are everything, but there are some design decisions that baffeld me. - Gold is useless, you can buy all the shop has to offer early on , the rest of the game you'll just accumulate gold for no reason, I ened the game with around 400k gold with nothing to spend it on - You'l need hundreds of thousands of emel to upgrade your gear, and you better upgrade or you'll bne severely undergeared, specially against the last boss, that grind is not fun at all - What is map? no minimap, the map you get is a joke, absolutely useless - Lack of direction had me running around trying to figure out what I had to do: at sopme point you need a special accesory to hurt certain enemies, usually in adevnture games you will get such vital item inside the same dungeon you encounter said enemies, but not here; the miniboss you have to kill is in a completely different area and if you are like me, you'll assume is still too strong for you since the first time I encountered it I died in one hit. - The dash move is necessary to get all the quest items, but the game poorly explains how it's done, so tahnk the gods for the internet - One too many bugs: I got stuck on a ledge while trying to do a downward attack, not once, but twice, and at some point one NPC got stuck in a staircase during a cinematic, fortunately, pressing alt+enter a couple of times made her move up the stairs. (again, thanks the gods for the internet) At least the music is nice Overall, a pretty lackluster entry, but atleast is not too long (around 11 hours including the grind), and now I can move on to Ys Seven. Will Adol ever learn not to fall overborad every sinngle ship he gets on? maybe that's why he can't commit to any realtionship. The mysrtery lives on.
