I really wanted to like this game, but I couldn't. It is just inferior to The Oath in Felghana in every way. The plot is almost nonexistent, the characters are flat, and the two main Rehda girls on the cover art (Olha and Isha) have essentially no personality. Also, the antagonist, if you can even call him that, is only seen at the very end of the game. The gameplay is serviceable, but I still don’t like that spells are locked to specific weapons. I also really hate the dash jump and I'm glad they didn't include it in following games. The dungeon and enemy design is just mid. The bosses are straight up bad and easy, they don't have big or interesting movesets so they don't really require skill to beat, just levels. As a whole, it isn't bad, I'm just disappointed. The trailer mentioned that this title inspired The Oath in Felghana and Origin, and that is evident. However, it is just very barebones and the soundtrack is definitely the best part. I would advise everyone to play this game before playing The Oath in Felghana or Origin. 5/10

I like the game, very fun. But i couldnt finish it due to the lack of guardrails in the game combine with my stupidity that got me softlocked. I mostly blame myself, not the game. Soooo... WARNING TO THOSE WHO COME AFTER: When the game warn you that there is no going back, they mean it! Make a backup save before diving in.

Played 12 hours up to level 48, got to the final bosses, I cant damage the final boss because I am underleveled, I can't leave the area because it is a point of no return, I didn't save on another slot to prevent something like this happening, gave up, 10/10 I would play it again

Another classic Ys game. This one is very similar to Ys III - Oath in Felghana. The graphics are a bit updated and the game is a little more complex, but they're very similar. I still prefer Ys III however, because it has an amazing soundtrack. This game has good music, but it doesn't compare to some of the previous Ys games in my opinion. The only have two negatives I'd give this game. First issue I have is that if you are a completionist like I am, you'll have to use some online guides. Achieving 100% on finding every inventory item is very unlikely unless you do some homework. The second issue I had was that I arrived at the final boss without leveling up as high as I could first. Once I got to the finale, I couldn't go back to level up before taking on the final battle. That was brutal. I died SOOOO many times trying to kill the last guy. So, keep that in mind before you step into the final zone. Other than those two gripes, and being a little disappointed the soundtrack wasn't as good as previous Ys entries... this is a cool game. I know it's a favorite among many Ys fans.

I like this game, but it has some PROBLEMS. 1. The dash jump is finnicky, and if you want some good items and some optional bosses, it is NOT optional to learn. 2. If you want to get towards the highest level, the grind is excruciating. There's an item to increase your XP, but it doesn't help much. 3. The optional boss is the only reason you would want to be towards the highest level. Even then, the boss is miserable to fight. I actually recommend skipping it. You don't get anything for it other than an achievement. Yes, I am highly recommending a casual playthrough of this game only. You will like it a lot more. It's a very cozy game. The enemies and bosses are push overs. The game is compact, so you can beat it in 10 hours tops if you aren't doing what I ended up doing. The story is inconsequential and uncomplicated. Adol controls well outside of the platforming and that said dash jump. I recommend it. I'm moving on to Oath. PS: I am editing to add that Adol can't sail for ♥♥♥♥! Seriously, don't give a boat to this guy. Also, Adol had the perfect opportunity to get with the chick on the cover of this game, the "priestess". He fumbled so hard, I was livid. LMAO
