A must buy RPG

You need this game

Okay game

The good: kinda like a Zelda game, nice storyline, and fun to play. The bad: the direction button is awful( won’t let you go to where you want to go freely, had to keep forcing it, feels like a broken joy stick from them arcade days). Dungeon shouldn’t have a level restriction, don’t like to grind to reach the level before I can go in a dungeon, bored me out. 3 stars for effort. Hopefully these issues are address on part 2.

A fun struggle

Game is enjoyable and fun until you get to the boss in the abandoned mines. Then you have to end it there. Poor controls and a terrible mechanic make it impossible to win. I’ve spent an hour trying to kill this thing. Max level, all silver equipment, oh and the one time I might actually want to use a healing potion, I can’t. Cool game, too bad this boss is terrible and the controls are basically beyond useless.

Pretty darn difficult even with a Controller

Ys VIII is my favorite switch game, even over Zelda BoW. I’d Figure I should try chronicles 1 & 2. It’s like a fast pace Link to the Past. Action RPG. The bump mechanic is so fun and story pretty interesting. Love how you heal standing in tall grass. Beautiful 16 bit graphics. Then I got to the first shrine boss. Using the touch screen is near impossible to beat the boss. So I invested in an 8bitdo controller and clip, yeah it’s still hella difficult. Watched a few YouTube videos to see it was N

Icloud

El juego esta bien.. pero le falta la opción de poder guardar tus partidas en icloud... algo muy importante hoy en dia...

I'm enjoying it.

This game is pretty awesome. The story is great, the graphics are very good, the gameplay is easy and other than the five dollars I spent initially to get the game, I have not been propositioned for more money so far.

Great Game!

This game is awesome. The combat and controls take a little getting used to, but you pick it up over time. Japanese RPGs are really the way to go!

Force quit

The game quits every time I pass a door in the evil's corridor. Anyone experiencing the same?

Great classic. Crashes on LV 11

The game is great and is an amazing classic. Controls are smooth and super fun to play. *Note to dev: The game crashes on Devils Hallway everytime. Please fix so we can keep playing it :) Thanks!

like this game

Fun little adventure. Wish there was map to find your location, but the frequent signs help and I guess part of the fun is to figure things out for yourself.

I love this game but needs some minor improvements.

Can you please add a map for both ys chronicles 1&2 and an auto save button? This would make it easier to play this game.Please consider this and make new version with these features.

Needs one thing...

-1 star for lack of turbografx/pc engine soundtrack. Need that classic darm tower!!!

Great game

I've never Played YS on any other system, but I've heard about it before and I've always wanted to try it. It's a lot of fun so far. No disappointed.

Fantastic classic RPG

The first time I played this was back on the turbografx. I loved it back then and its every bit as enjoyable on iOS. I miss the voiceover work, but it still works. If you've never played an YS game, this is a great place to start. Go grab it.

Amazing port

Plays great. Glad it supports controllers.

Great RPG

I highly recommend this game and especially part 2 to all Zelda fans.

Nothing but love

Playing with Gamevice makes it so much sweeter. Heavenly even.

Bugs

I have encountered the, "door fails to open after killing boss mumber 1" bug, so incapable of moving forward. Great game, seeming to be a terrible port. *EDIT* To fix this bug you have to save your game, then force close the app and restart.

Great Port!

Controls feel great. I like that they upped the run speed in this one. Story great also! This and Lunar Silver Star Story are some of my favorites :)

Solid port

Solid port of the remastered Ys. Music is beautiful as always in and Ys game. No voices though which felt like a step backward after having them in the Turbografx-CD version.

Great game, terrible translation

There are innumerable versions of the excellent Ys 1. This one is based on the PC/PSP release, but for some reason has a new translation. Unfortunately, it’s awful. I recommend getting this on PC (GOG and Steam have it). Just about any not-ancient machine should be able to run it.

Not worth the buy too much bugs

Is really a good game but when you are stuck cause there's a defect on the game is not worth buying it if you can't play it there's goes 5 dollars wasted they need to fix all the bugs before the put it in the market

Not for me.

Didn't like the combat system. Fighting should evolve more then running into the enemy at the right angle.
