“it works surprisingly well on touchscreens”

“The developers at DotEmu are masters of the classic game port, and it looks like they're pulling out all the stops for this release.[…] Here's hoping that DotEmu brings more entries in the series to Android in the future.”
- Android Police
“As you would expect from DotEmu, this port is basically perfect from a technical standpoint. […]The actual gameplay is generally intact, however, and that means Ys Chronicles 1 is a must-have for any mobile RPG fan. It's a sheer joy to play, full of a kind of upbeat excitement that doesn't come around all that often. ”

Ys is an action-packed, heroic fantasy JRPG game that immerses you in a beautiful Japanese artistic universe. Originally released on PC and PSP in the 2000s, this remake of the famous franchise’s first episode, titled " Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen", returns in a mobile version especially adapted for touch gameplay.
In Ys, you play as Adol Christin, an adventurous young swordsman. Early in the story, you find yourself on a mysterious beach in Esteria, a kingdom whose cities are besieged by hordes of demoniac creatures. Esteria’s people are depending on you to defeat the demons and free the kingdom. To accomplish your goal, you must find six sacred books containing the history of the ancient land of Ys; books which will also provide you with the knowledge to restore peace. Throughout the game, you’ll gain experience and strength by discovering enchanted weapons and artifacts. Become a mighty knight and destroy your enemies!
Ys possesses a rich and poetic atmosphere with beautiful artistic direction, an incredible soundtrack and a deep story. Ys also stands out thanks to its unique fight mode: you must pounce on enemies to attack them ("BUMP" system). Perfectly adapted to touch devices, this one-touch combat system makes the game even more exciting and enjoyable.
Discover or rediscover the godfather of Japanese action-RPG sagas with this mobile version you can play anywhere!

Why can't I change the game's language? The Russian translation sucks big time. The English translation hasn't been proofread will enough too. You may see some weird lines when talking to NPCs

Great so far. Only thing holding it back is the translation, which isn't terrible. Just a few typos.

Excellent port. It would be perfect if the messed up translation were fixed. Great game nonetheless.

Nostalgia when you are in your late 40s means games from the 80s. My favorite part about this game is they updated the graphics and game play, but kept the feel of the original

Game was good, didn't feel hooked but enjoyed most. Some bosses seemed way too hard and made me want to quit and what's with not being able to use your potion in them? A little vague on what to do sometimes. Worth the money but wouldn't play again. Thanks for the game though!

Played the PSP version of this game to see how it stacks up to this one, and I have to say the Android version has the most horrible dialogue for some reason. It's downright engrish compared to the PSP version. Why would you not just reuse the dialogue? What happened here?

The game says it supports achievements but they are not unlocking. Also some very glaring grammatical issues. Needs work for sure.

I have enjoyed the YS games and this one has been no exception. Controls are great for a mobile game. My only complaint so far is that I read controllers are supported but my moga doesn't even register with the game which kinda stinks for some of the harder bosses.

I really want to like it, but for some reason the game thinks my gamepad is pressing up, so while all the other buttons work, the game is unplayable. Is there any way to calibrate the joysticks?
