Ys I & II Chronicles plus is a remake of the first Ys games from '87 and '88, offering some old school fun for fans of the Ys series who want to see how the story started or to relive the old times.

For those familiar with the other games of the Ys series, like Ys Origins on Steam, this game is more like older 2D Zelda games. It features a "Bump combat system" which makes combat simplier (You only need to hit enemies from corner without pressing a button, this doesn't apply for bosses however) and a magic system on Ys 2, but this doesn't make things less fun: You'll be fighting tough, fast paced enemies and bosses like usual, rocking to a great soundtrack!

While simplier than the newer games, these games offer a good look to how the series started with beautiful 2D graphics, 3 soundtracks to choose from for those who want those old chip-tune sounds or modern studio performance music and a well done english translation.

If you love old style 2D action games or want to see how the Ys series started, I highly recommend this game: It'll give you your money worth of old school goodness!
