The Ys series is one of the longest running series in gaming, but hasn’t received a lot of mainstream love, with much of its storied history coasting under the radar while big-name RPG franchises such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest steal all of the thunder. However, regardless of how widespread (or not) the game’s reception has been, the series is still very much alive and kicking, with the latest entry, Ys SEVEN, now available for the PSP.
Ys SEVEN is an old-school action-RPG that features some familiar trappings from the salad days of the Japanese RPG genre, including a light story, huge bosses, and relatively simplistic gameplay that doesn’t stir the pot much. The game has a few downfalls that won’t let it sit well with fans of more modern JRPG fare, including cheap boss fights and a healthy amount of backtracking, but overall, it is a solid entry to the Ys franchise.
