“it works surprisingly well on touchscreens”
- Pocket Gamer
“The developers at DotEmu are masters of the classic game port, and it looks like they're pulling out all the stops for this release.[…] Here's hoping that DotEmu brings more entries in the series to Android in the future.”
- Android Police
“As you would expect from DotEmu, this port is basically perfect from a technical standpoint. […]The actual gameplay is generally intact, however, and that means Ys Chronicles 1 is a must-have for any mobile RPG fan. It's a sheer joy to play, full of a kind of upbeat excitement that doesn't come around all that often. ”

Ys is an action-packed, heroic fantasy JRPG game that immerses you in a beautiful Japanese artistic universe. Originally released on PC and PSP in the 2000s, this remake of the famous franchise’s first episode, titled " Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen", returns in a mobile version especially adapted for touch gameplay.
In Ys, you play as Adol Christin, an adventurous young swordsman. Early in the story, you find yourself on a mysterious beach in Esteria, a kingdom whose cities are besieged by hordes of demoniac creatures. Esteria’s people are depending on you to defeat the demons and free the kingdom. To accomplish your goal, you must find six sacred books containing the history of the ancient land of Ys; books which will also provide you with the knowledge to restore peace. Throughout the game, you’ll gain experience and strength by discovering enchanted weapons and artifacts. Become a mighty knight and destroy your enemies!
Ys possesses a rich and poetic atmosphere with beautiful artistic direction, an incredible soundtrack and a deep story. Ys also stands out thanks to its unique fight mode: you must pounce on enemies to attack them ("BUMP" system). Perfectly adapted to touch devices, this one-touch combat system makes the game even more exciting and enjoyable.
Discover or rediscover the godfather of Japanese action-RPG sagas with this mobile version you can play anywhere!

It's like the old Turbo Duo version that I'm used to except it has better game play and graphics. If you are reading this make sure you put an ear bud in or turn the volume up when you play because this game is a fu*king clasic with awesome music. It's missing the voice overs and some of the cartoons but adds a pretty awesome opening. I hope they continue the series so I can finally play part 4 & 5.

I love the game! It's the PSP version just with touch controls and achievements and that makes it the best version in my opinion. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't have cloud saves meaning if you delete your App or change your phone your gonna have to start over. But the story music and gameplay is great its a diamond in the rough. Pick up Ys 1 and 2 you won't regret your purchase... Game on! There's infinite possibilities! THOT

Overall, Ys 1 (Chronicles) is pretty good and I'm enjoying it. I feel the battle system is kinda weak (Granted, I did start with Ys 8) and most of the boss battles are... ridiculous, even on normal difficulty. The touch controls don't really help much with that. However, it's pretty good for what it is - a remake of a super old game that started a classic series. (One last thing, translation seems to be a bit off compared to other versions of Ys Chronicles. Worth noting.)
