Ys terribleGenre: adventure - overhead
Publisher: Data East
Year: 1989
System: PCE
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
Typical Ys gameplay, which I hate. Walk into bad guys just off-center to give damage otherwise take damage and die an almost instantaneous death. The controls are responsive, I'll give it that much, but there's virtually nothing to do in this thing.
Level Design Score: 1
Level Design Notes:
Oh dear. I couldn't figure out how to get past the first room. I exited the town, went across a bridge, entered a forest...and was forever stuck. I'm out.
Theme Score: 2
Theme Notes:
NPC: Hello. There are monsters outside the village. Here's a sword. Bye!
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Tiny sprites. 8-bit look. Weird dithering on the screen edges as the screen scrolls. Not the worst thing ever, but also not worth discussing further.
Audio Score: 1
Audio Notes:
Ugly music. Especially when compared to Ys 1, its clear inspiration.
Overall Score: 23
Review ID: 8080
