Very charming wee duology of games with a great soundtrack, and the bumping is literal ludokino
Adol tears through shit in this game with such a wild ferocity that it's genuinely concerning. If you know what you're doing the entire game becomes a blindingly fast rush of violence, all carried out by a stoic ginger with a lust for blood.

Bump
It was fun.
In YS 1, exploration's fun while the bosses are either very easy or just unfair (you know the one).
In YS 2, the bosses are fun, but exploration took a nosedive in a certain dungeon (you know the one).
But in both games, the bump system is really satisfying to pull off correctly since you end up a killing machine in the end.

Dark Fact.
I good
II bad
II bad
very solid, ys 2 can get repetitive
Ys2 is probably my favorite game from the 80s. Embrace the bump
This was a very, for lack of a better word, magical adventure. It's a very unique feeling; running around and exploring Esteria, engaging in various heroics and vanquishing evil, and discovering the secrets and mysteries of Ys' history; all the while furiously bumping into enemies while absolutely jamming music plays in the background.
Dark Fact is not magical at all though. What the fuck is his problem?

Ys 2 is pretty good but Ys 1 got me thinking the bad thoughts
To the people that made the walkthroughs, I hope life is treating you like royalty
Impressive how well the second game does at wrapping up the incredibly, almost non existent story of the original and fleshing it out. I actually cared for a few of the characters, despite dialogue being very minimalistic.
Only gripe with the games is the lack of a minimap, which makes exploring the dungeons incredibly frustrating without a guide, as they're super easy to get lost in, especially the lava level.
Also recommend watching the OVAs, they're nice companion pieces that also flesh out the story a lot.

Pretty good games, they definitely show their age but if you can handle bump combat it's a fun time
THIS IS PURE VIDEO GAMING! THIS IS THE VIDEO GAMING OF OUR ANCESTORS! YOU KNOW THAT CAVEMAN PART OF YOUR BRAIN THAT KICKS IN AND GIVES YOU MONKEY DOPAMINE! THAT IS THIS GAME BUT FOR VIDEO GAMES! GET IMMERSED IN THIS GRAND-STANDING FAIRY TALE WORLD WHERE YOU SHOW EVERYONE WHO'S BOSS BY RUNNING THEM OVER IN A STREET CAR NAMED ADOL CHRISTAN!
Bump combat, slappin' soundtrack
It's fine. Has a good soundtrack.
chronicles+ somehow makes ys 1's final boss hilariously bad when it looks fine in the original. otherwise it's a good remake, music slaps. impressive games for their time but they definitely aged. good fucking luck if you're going into ys 2 without a guide
Para ser un JRPG de 1987, sus mecánicas aguantan mucho mejor de lo esperado. Eso sí, para pasárselo tranquilito en fácil y con guía porque tryhardear con esto es querer hacerse daño.
Y MENUDO MUSICOTE, VIRGEN SANTÍSIMA.

I've only played 1, and dropped 2 half way through. 1 is so good though. I love the bosses, the max level being at 10, and the weapons. I recommend anyone to try 1 at least, and maybe 2 but 2 has awful level design.
