    Ys IX is the latest entry in the long running Ys series, and this one is great fun too. Most of the game takes place in a city and its surrounding area, so it is significantly less colorful than its predecessor, though the gameplay is just as good, with new twists, like the Monstrum powers.

    Great game, great action RPG. Doesn't run as well on Switch as some other platforms, but I found it to run well enough. The city is a lot of fun to explore.

    Awesome for the switch. Performance can get rough but it doesn’t detract too much.

    Enjoyable Ys game but very different from it's predecessor. This is more of a dungeon crawling setting that open tropical island.
