Ys II continues the legendary action-RPG saga of red-haired hero Adol Christin immediately after the events of the first game. Originally released in 1988, this sequel builds upon the fast-paced “bump” combat system while introducing magic abilities that expand both combat and exploration. Set in the floating land of Ys, Adol must uncover the truth behind ancient gods, powerful demons, and the fate of a lost civilization. The story is richer and more character-driven, with emotional moments and deeper lore.
Players explore diverse environments including shrines, lava-filled caverns, and sky-bound temples. Magic spells such as fireballs add ranged combat options, making battles more strategic than its predecessor. The game features an iconic soundtrack by Nihon Falcom, enhancing its epic fantasy atmosphere. With improved visuals, larger maps, and more complex puzzles, Ys II refines the formula that made the original a classic. It remains one of the most influential early action RPGs in gaming history.
