Raymond Herrera of Examiner.com reviews the recent Ys game released from XSEED Games, Ys: The Oath in Felghana for the Sony PSP.
"The red-headed series hero Adol Christin returns in this port of the third title in the Ys franchise, Ys: The Oath in Felghana, for the Sony PSP from XSEED Games.
All-in-all Ys: The Oath in Felghana isn’t as long of a game as Ys: Seven but was still a lot of fun to play. It does offer some challenge in the boss battles but the regular enemies go down fairly easy. Not being able to use healing items does make it a little harder but if you play it smart things still go smoothly. While combat and exploration is pretty basic the game does offer six different difficulty levels to choose from to make things more interesting.
For Ys fans and also RPG fans who want a handheld game with action RPG gameplay this is definitely a game worth picking up."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The PSP was blessed with multiple entries and this support continued onto the Vita, with remakes, ports, and a brand new title releasing over the course of the handheld’s life. It made the franchise a perfect choice for this series of articles, because although the series' future definitely isn’t on Sony’s handhelds at this point, it still had some brilliant representation over the past 12 years.
So in this article I’ll be looking back at a history of the franchise on Sony’s handhelds, from its origins on the PSP right through the latest release on Vita, with an emphasis on the quality of the ports to the handhelds as well as any sales figures that are available, alongside a conclusion of how well the franchise has done on the platforms."
Oath at Fhelgana, Seven, Memories of Celceta and Lacrimosa of Dana are amazing games. I adore the Ys series, and Adol is one of my favorite JRPG characters ever.
From Vampires to Mavericks to Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde. Sony's PSP had a vast library of titles targeted towards retro gamers. Here, I take a look at ten fantastic remakes of classic games. Keep in mind that in order to be applicable for this list, the original games must have been released during the 16-bit era or earlier. Anyway, let's start this look back at some of the best retro remakes ever produced for portable play.
I own and have played almost every game on this list. All outstanding choices!
TC:" The entries of the Ys series Ys I & II Chronicles, Ys: The Oath In Felghana and Ys Origins are now available for reduced prices on GOG."
