What is Ys?
The Ys games are a series of Action-RPG's created by Japanese developer Nihon Falcom dating back to 1987 with the release of Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished for the PC-8801. The series traditionally follows the exploits of protagonist Adol Christin and his numerous companions as he adventures through the various regions of the world.
Where does Ys Origin fit in?
Curiously, the first Ys game to find a home on Xbox platforms is actually a prequel explaining the backstory referenced in previous games and takes place around 700 years before the events of the first game. You will play as either Yunica Tovah or Hugo Fact in a journey to find the Ladies Reah and Feena, goddesses of the land of Ys, all in an attempt to return them to the Solomon Shrine before the land and it's people are destroyed by the demon army.
Gameplay:
As mentioned before, Ys Origin is a 2.5D Action-RPG that sees you choosing between 2 characters (there are unlockable characters as well), all with different move sets, and proceeding to wreak havoc on anything that gets in the way. All characters have a "Boost" meter than when filled enhances your character abilities or can be used for an all-powerful attack known as a "Burst".
