Ys Origin

700 years before the events of Ys I & II, the land of Ys was on the brink of destruction. Demons came in droves, forcing the twin goddesses who ruled the land to whisk their subjects from the surface to the safe embrace of the clouds. The demons were persistent, however, and erected a formidable tower to pursue them. The battle that raged on the ground had begun to rise upward into a second round. One day, in the midst of this tumult, the goddesses stole away into the night and disappeared from Ys altogether. And there is only one place where they could have gone: the Devil's Tower. A search party of knights and wizards was hastily assembled and sent to the surface in hopes of recovering the runaway deities. Among the members were apprentice knight Yunica Tovah and concerned wizard Hugo Fact. This is their story. At least, this is how each of them remembers it. Ys Origin builds on the gameplay elements introduced in Ys: The Ark of Napishtim and developed further in Ys: The Oath in Felghana, perfecting the formula by adding different gameplay styles and new features never seen before in the Ys universe. Ys Origin is best described as an arcade-style platform RPG with Metroidvania elements and a complex, multi-faceted story, and is the perfect blend of action, exploration and story. Full-screen bosses with complex AI, unique platforming elements, innovative puzzles and a deeply entangled mystery await you within the varied confines of this classic Ys dungeon. Come see how long you can last in Devil's Tower....
