Ys is one of the oldest action Japanese-RPG series’ around, as it started way back in 1987.
Ys IX: Monstrum Nox chronicles that adventure. This curse grants him the new special powers of a Monstrum, while also binding him to Balduq – and he can’t leave until the curse is broken. During his escape, he runs into a mysterious woman named Aprilis who shoots him with a seemingly magical bullet that, rather than injure him, instead curses him. For whatever reason, the city guards arrest Adol almost immediately after he enters, and it’s not long before he’s interrogated and eventually breaks out of prison. Like in most of Adol’s adventures, he and his pal Dogi are traveling, looking for the next bit of excitement when they visit Balduq, a city in the former Gllian kingdom, which is now part of the Romun empire. While I still hold VIII in higher regard, Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is a fantastic adventure that I enjoyed very much. So as you can imagine, I have been really looking forward to Ys IX, both because I just want to play more Ys, but also because I know that it can be really hard to follow up on such an incredible game as Ys VIII. This peaked with Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, which is a masterpiece in many ways, and one of my favorite games ever. It quickly became one of my favorites though I couldn’t actually tell you why, it just felt right. Thank you NIS America for sending us this game to review!Įver since I first played Ys: Memories of Celceta, something about the series just clicked with me.
