Games like Ys Origin

Looking for that same retro and story-driven spark as Ys Origin? Start with these games when you are ready.

Ys I & II Chronicles+
Two classic action RPGs from 1987 and 1988, remade with modern polish: Adol Christin sails through a storm barrier to the island of Esteria, where monsters swarm and a 700-year-old mystery waits. Fast, lethal old-school combat, a legendary soundtrack and a demon mask that lets you chat with your enemies.

ASTLIBRA Revision
A 2D action RPG fourteen years in the making. Slash through monsters, melt screen-filling bosses with Possession Skills, and follow a story that keeps twisting long after you think it's over. A talking bird, a time-bending plot and a lot of grinding, in the best sense.
