Play Ys 2 DS (J)(Independent) Online
You ram into enemies at just the right angle instead of button-mashing—sounds weird, but it clicks after a few fights. The DS version keeps that classic Ys feel with tough bosses and chunky pixel art.
Ys 2 DS is a 2008 Nintendo DS release from Falcom, originally a Japan-only title that brought a classic action RPG to the handheld. It arrived during a period when the DS library was rich with inventive titles, and this port offered a solid, no-frills way to experience an older game on the go. The presentation is straightforward, with visuals that recall the game's earlier platforms but adapted cleanly for the dual-screen hardware.
You control Adol Christin, exploring screen by screen through towns and dungeons while battling monsters in real time. The main goal involves delving into multi-level dungeons, gathering key items, and confronting large bosses to advance the story. Combat relies on precise positioning; you damage enemies by running into them at an offset, not by mashing buttons. The pacing is brisk, though some boss fights demand repeated attempts to learn patterns. It feels responsive and deliberate, especially once you internalize the bump system's timing.
