Ys Origin is a fantastic game and definitely a good way to get into the series itself. In spite of the game being old, the combat is smooth and engaging, featuring element-based skills (wind, fire, thunder) that can be charged for maximum effect. Overall, the gameplay is fast, hard, and a thoroughly enjoyable experience,

Was fun. I recommend making a keybind for Turbo so you don't need to mash.

Well, could not play game properly bc after first cutscene where your character talking with tree then goes for Tower, game stuck. Character should've come to screen but just empty hall with no key action no movement. I had a great excitement for whole series and this was my first one so that kind of experience just wrecked my joy.
