Ys 1&2 is a retro arpg with a unique fighting system(the bump system) you just run into enemies trying to be slightly off their center in order to damage them while if you run into them straight on you exchange blows resulting in you taking dmg also. Save yourself the trouble and use a guide on this one the game was made in a different gaming era and ys1 is rather short(it took me around 6 hours to finish) if you know what to do. I completely disagree with those that say that the game is painfully difficult(I played on normal), most bosses are easy and the few that are not just requires you to get their rhythm down, no boss took me more than 5 tries. The music is phenomenal, the tunes match the action on the screen to a T and the boss fight music pumps you up. To conclude ys1&2 is a really charming and enjoyable retro game, going into it expecting modern game design is nonsensical since they were made in 1987 and 1988 but they hold up remarkably well.
