Ys III - Wanderers from Ys Game

"Ys III: Wanderers from Ys" on the Super Nintendo is a bold departure from the top-down action RPG roots of its predecessors, throwing you into a side-scrolling adventure that feels more like a dynamic hack-and-slash brawler. You step into the boots of Adol Christin, the red-haired swordsman, as he returns to his homeland only to uncover a sinister plot brewing in the shadows. The game’s fast-paced combat, lush pixel art, and a killer soundtrack (classic Ys charm!) make it a standout, even if it ruffled a few feathers for ditching the overhead view.

Fans of the series will love seeing Adol’s story continue, while newcomers can dive into a satisfying blend of exploration, swordplay, and boss battles that’ll test your reflexes. It’s a shorter, punchier Ys experience—perfect for those who crave action with a side of nostalgia. Just don’t be surprised if you find yourself humming the tunes long after you’ve sheathed your sword!"
