Ys: The Ark of Napishtim
Mar. 29th, 2013 09:18 pmThe famous red-haired swordsman Adol is caught in a storm at sea and washed up on a mysterious beach…again. Only this time the storm in question is the Great Vortex, which seals in an island chain full of secrets. Can he bring peace to the troubled human and Rehda tribes, gather the magical emelas swords, and unlock The Ark of Napishtim?
( Middle of the road, standard for the series. )
Overall: I’ve apparently made it a mission to play all of the Ys games, since I have the requisite hardware at this point. If you’re unsure about the series, I’d recommend either trying The Oath in Felghana or starting with the remakes of Books I and II, then working your way forward if they appeal to you. This one is still fun, but I have some issues with it.
