Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim

Pro-tip: Go to the game's installation directory and look for the folder: Ys VI Material Collection. There you can find tons of free art work from the game.

An ancient evil computer awakens, and it's up to Adol to hit it until it dies with his trusty swords of plot magic. You join Adol on another exciting adventure as he washes ashore the Canaan Islands within a fictional equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle after his survives yet another shipwreck, as expected of Ys openings. Ys VI the Ark of Napishtim is the first Ys game of this engine; Oath in Felghana and Origin are the sequels that came after it, despite Felghana taking place chronologically before VI and Origin taking place hundreds of years before Ys I&II. Because this is the first game of this engine, you might feel that the gameplay is less refined than its two sequels of the same battle system. Even if Ys VI is the first game of this engine, the combat is still satisfying with its three elemental swords having different attack style and may even require finesse to master. Wind swor

Solid action! I actually have the original Japanese version in it's big box, so I can do this review justice. This is a great action RPG. Awesome music, fast paced, and good hack and slash excitement. The game is a great grinding RPG with a pretty simple story, and really incredible boss fights. There wasn't a time I really felt bored playing this, right up to the end of the game. It's from 2003, but aged very well, and worth the time! I guess if any negatives, I can say, it can be challenging unless you grind. You wil die enough if you rush to far ahead, so you might feel at a slight stand stil, but it's fun nonetheless. No voice acting to talk about. Art work is very nice, an the animated cinematics look good for the time. For those who don't know much about this series, or the Dev. Nihon Falcom has been doing RPG's for a long time, and many only came out in Japan. They are pros at

Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim is certainly not one of the best entries to the series, it is still an excellent game on its own. Moreover, it was the precursor to the widely popular engine of Ys: The Oath in Felghana and Ys Origin. As such, it is no slouch in the gameplay department (It is not as polished as its sequels, but impressive in its own right) and has one of the best soundtracks of the series. The bosses are fun and challenging, which is to be expected from this series, also the difficulty curve is fairly good. As it is at least a decade old game, the graphics aren't impressive, but that is not its selling point! For seasoned veterans of the franchise, the game is littered with lore, trivia and references that many would identify which helps to flesh the background of the Ys world. I highly recommend it to anyone new and old to the series, especially any fan of the action RPG g

Wow, as a newcomer to the series, I'm really impressed with the game! I don't know why I haven't give the series a shot ages ago. I'll try to keep my review short and spoiler-free as possible. Note that this is my first entry to the series so I can't say or compared it to the previous Ys games in terms of gameplay and mechanics. Ys VI is an action RPG more like a Zelda-esque game rather than the classic turn-based JRPG. This also means that the gameplay feels faster and much simpler than the classic RPG. This can be either pro or cons depending on your preferences. Pros Interesting characters and engaging storyline Fun, fluid and satisfying combat mechanics, albeit a bit too simple. On-the-fly equipment swap so that you can keep the flow going (which is fortunate since you're gonna have to fight a lot) Satisfying boss battles, not to mention some of them are huge! Complete

Hello friends, If you been following my recent reviews, this is my current review for Ys 6: The Ark of Napishtim. This is the 6th game in the series. Note that this is not Cannon if your following my guides when playing this or the order of the games. I am only playing the games in order of numbers, so please be aware of this. First off, this game is similiar to Oath of Felghana game. It uses the same game engine as that game was designed in. The story for this game is quite short if your playing it on easy or normal. Also, be aware a very hard move called dash jump is in this game, luckily they took this very hard mechanic out of rest of the series games. Also, the music is quite good in this game, just like the other games in the series. Anyways, here is my pro/con list: PROS: - Great music and storyline, albeit a short one. - A couple side quests to do. - Hidden bosses and items.
