Ys X: Nordics

Ys X: Nordics marks a thrilling new chapter in the beloved Ys series. This action role-playing game, developed by Nihon Falcom, takes players on an exciting adventure with series protagonist Adol Christin. Set in the picturesque Obelia Bay, the game introduces a fresh narrative between the events of Ys II and Ys: Memories of Celceta.

The game breaks from tradition by focusing on just two playable characters: Adol and the seafaring warrior Karja Balta. Players will find themselves caught in a conflict between Karja’s people, the Normans, and mysterious unkillable monsters known as Griegr. This streamlined approach allows for deeper character development and a more intimate storytelling experience.

Ys X: Nordics introduces the innovative cross-action combat system, allowing players to switch between two distinct fighting modes. This new mechanic promises to deliver intense, fast-paced battles that surpass the action density of previous Ys titles. The game also features naval battles and sailing elements, a first for the series, adding an exciting maritime dimension to the adventure.

With its release on multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Windows, Ys X: Nordics is poised to captivate both longtime fans and newcomers alike. The game’s blend of exhilarating combat, engaging storytelling, and stunning visuals makes it a must-play for action RPG enthusiasts.
