The latest installment in Falcom and XSEED's Ys series of action-RPGs is a fast-paced, easy to grasp blast, despite its relatively short length and generic story.
Plot
Ys: The Oath in Felghana once again follows the adventures of friends Adol and Dogi who find themselves making an unannounced visit to Dogi's hometown of Redmont in the land of Felghana. Since his departure eight years earlier, Dogi finds himself returning home to find that things have changed dramatically, and not for the better.Hordes of violent monsters roam the outskirts of town, there are unsettling rumors of a long-dormant volcano suddenly becoming active again, and the newly-appointed lord of the land has been taxing the citizens heavily, while also depriving them of their right to mine for precious ores – a staple resource of the economy for generations. As Adol and Dogi begin to search for the sources of Felghana’s recent struggles, they find that each clue leads them further towards the shocking conclusion that these events are all somehow linked. The closer they get to the truth, the higher the stakes are, as the consequences of their actions affect not just Felghana, but possibly the entire world.
Gameplay
The gameplay itself is typical action/RPG fare that, while lacking in frills, is very solid. Hero Adol can use a bevy of standing, running, and jumping sword swings (and later on, elemental magic) to attack foes with blindingly fast combos. He can also make use of a "boost" meter that fills gradually over time to gain a few seconds of augmented strength and defense for particularly tricky areas. Defeated enemies drop all manner of beneficial power-ups, ranging from money to stat boosts, making the act of boosting and speedy slice-and-dicing through a horde of foes to collect their loot immensely satisfying.The bosses, in particular, are spectacular. You'll be battling giant demons, screeching harpies, and fearsome dragons with every skill you have at your disposal. These boss encounters require you to learn patterns, dodge skillfully, and figure out how to effectively damage them.
