Ys III: Wanderers from Ys

Adol Christin's longtime friend Dogi wants to return to his hometown of Redmont after hearing about strange disturbances happening there. Adol, who is always looking for adventure, joins him and soon finds out the cause of the new evil. Ys III: Wanderers from Ys breaks with the combat system of the first two games, in which you encounter enemies, and allows Adol to control his sword in different directions. In addition to the change in the combat system, the game's perspective also changes from the top-down view of the previous games to a side-scrolling view. Adol can now jump as well. New to the series is the use of magic rings, which give Adol various abilities such as healing and shields. The game also uses various key items found along the way to solve smaller puzzles and advance the story.
