    Even despite its flaws (substandard bosses, grind, backtracking) it’s still Ys – the top shelf of action RPG’s. [07/2015, p.74]

    Among contemporary Ys releases and remakes—Seven, The Oath in Felghana, and Memories of Celceta—The Ark of Napishtim is more reliant on support provided by its adopted hardware. Unfortunately its tangled journey to the personal computer cost as many features as it gained, leaving The Ark of Napishtim as little more than a curious architect of the Ys games that followed.

    Ys fans have probably already investigated this rendition, but newcomers to the series might find it an appealing entry point since its controls are more like those of other action RPGs.

    Ys VI: Ark of Napisthim was a great game, in 2003 when it released in japan. Now, especially since Origin and Oath in Felghana, it feels limited and obsolete. Adol has had so many better adventures in a later stage.

    A typical YS game. Pretty simplistic in some terms, but with good fun dynamic gameplay. Pretty graphics and traditionally great soundtrack. IfA typical YS game.

    作为第一款接触的Ys系列游戏,VI出色的打击感和配乐带给了我畅快的古典RPG体验,但是它的客观缺陷也是难以忽视的:游戏流程过短,人设单薄,过于干脆的结局也让人无力吐槽。不过对于尚未接触Ys系列的玩家还是值得一试的。作为第一款接触的Ys系列游戏,VI出色的打击感和配乐带给了我畅快的古典RPG体验,但是它的客观缺陷也是难以忽视的:游戏流程过短,人设单薄,过于干脆的结局也让人无力吐槽。不过对于尚未接触Ys系列的玩家还是值得一试的。
