Ys II Chronicles Plus

March 18, 2023 - Reading time: ~1 minute - Category: game library project

Ys II is the natural evolution of Ys I. It retains the first game's bump combat, graphical style, and awesome soundtrack. If you liked that one, you'll like this one.

Ys II implements a magic ability, bigger levels, a bigger inventory. It's a bigger game than Ys 1, taking a few more hours to finish. The story is still lean, as in all 2D Ys games. Boss fights are still awesome. I do have to say I enjoyed the first game slightly more. There's a charm about 1's simplicity that 2 loses a bit with all the added content and features,

It's still a great game, and any Ys fan shouldn't ignore it because of the bump combat.

Verdict: Finished

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, history, and anything else I find interesting. 

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
