Ys Chronicles I is an action-packed, heroic fantasy JRPG game that immerses you in a beautiful Japanese artistic universe. Originally released on PC and PSP in the 2000s, this remake of the famous franchise’s first episode, titled " Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen", returns in a mobile version especially adapted for touch gameplay.

In Ys, you play as Adol Christin, an adventurous young swordsman. Early in the story, you find yourself on a mysterious beach in Esteria, a kingdom whose cities are besieged by hordes of demoniac creatures. Esteria’s people are depending on you to defeat the demons and free the kingdom. To accomplish your goal, you must find six sacred books containing the history of the ancient land of Ys; books which will also provide you with the knowledge to restore peace. Throughout the game, you’ll gain experience and strength by discovering enchanted weapons and artifacts. Become a mighty knight and destroy your enemies!

Ys Chronicles I possesses a rich and poetic atmosphere with beautiful artistic direction, an incredible soundtrack and a deep story. Ys also stands out thanks to its unique fight mode: you must pounce on enemies to attack them ("BUMP" system). Perfectly adapted to touch devices, this one-touch combat system makes the game even more exciting and enjoyable.

Game functions, but the quality of the translation is highly questionable. I've been playing Ys games for decades and I don't think I've seen a translation this rough since the Super Nintendo era. the art and audio is also heavily compressed compared to the versions of Ys 1 & 2 this was built upon on other devices.

Simple but really really fun. The combat at first seems frustrating and basic but when it clicks it really clicks. very fun game for what is essentially bumping into people the videogame. I played with chronicles soundtrack and it was absolutely peak. amazing guitarwork and some really funky tracks mixed in there too. only real complaint is the final dungeon and it's design flaws and padding but otherwise this game is amazing and well worth the time.

Very enjoyable for what it was. I did go find a walkthrough halfway through, too much needless backtracking and poor explanations of where to go. Love the action RPG elements especially
