![]() Basically if you’re a fan of action RPG’s then you’ll enjoy the Ark of Napishtim. Like its predecessors, Ys 6 has some sweet boss fights.Īrk of Napishtim is fun if you liked the first Zelda, or the third Zelda, or Secret of Mana, or Beyond Oasis, or Land Stalker, but not Legend of Mana because that game sucked. ![]() Most never made it to American, so you can’t blame me for my apathy. The only other game I can think of that they did was the obscure Popful Mail for the Sega CD (thanks, Vic!), but according to this site they’ve made an assload of games. The company behind the Ys series, Falcom, has mostly made Ys games, in addition to remakes of Ys games, and also collections of Ys games. So I guess that was sort of the review, but here’s more! Jeeze, I wish I had a ratings system that didn’t make games I thoroughly enjoyed look crappy to those who didn’t read the whole review.” The review says something like, “Well, the game is horrendous in 4 out of the 6 categories I rate games on, but I still played all the way through it. It’s a perfect example of the attempt at objective ratings gone to shit. Maybe I’m getting melodramatic here, but if the game is fun then people should buy it. They complain about the graphics, the lack of depth in the gameplay, and some other stuff but then say the game is fun. I’ve read a lot of reviews for this game (holy shit, you mean there are reviews besides the ones on this site?!) and nearly all of them end up giving the game something like a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 but then end up spending the whole review justifying why they didn’t give it a 3. So where does that leave us? I’m not sure, so on to the review.Īctually, there’s still some more crap I want to say before the review proper. I managed to play Ys on the Master System when I was a wee lad and then Ys 3 on my Genesis when I was a little older and many are the hours I’ve spent on eBay, contemplating a purchase of a Turbo Duo just so I might play Ys Book 2. You see, I know enough to know there were two Ys 4s, and I know that this game I’m supposed to be reviewing here, The Ark of Napishtim, is really Ys VI. I lie somewhere between the average gamer, blissfully ignorant of the Ys (said to be pronounced “ease,” but I’ve been saying it “eyes” since I was 7 and I’ll be damned if I’m going to change my life for something as small as the truth) series of games and the ubercore, those who have played every Ys, including both versions of 4. The camera is a mixture of following the character and being at a fixed position in a room but to reduce the amount of blind spots, you can also control it to a certain amount.Character sprites displayed during key dialog are big and well done. Once the syringe is full you can use it to gain a temporary boost of your abilities.Īs a multiplayer-treat the game features Drop in/Drop Out-coop which allows you to play the game alone and if someone comes and visits he or she can just take over the second controller and play with you. Early in the game you also gain a syringe with which you take samples off the dead creature-bodies. You can also pick up chairs and tables to throw at your enemies. ![]() You can switch between both characters at any time and if you need another character in a given situation, you can go back to a gathering point and change your team.īut their wits alone can't save them from their doom so they also find several different weapons ranging from melee-weapons like a baseball bat to pistols and other weapons with a serious punch. Mei is instead a hacker and knows how to hack access panels. Kenny for example has more muscles than brain and is therefore able to move around crates. Each one has a speciality that comes in handy in order to open blocked doors or reaching new heights. Most of the time you take control over two of the six available characters. The only ones that really know what is going on are the ones that are experiencing it for the second time and hide terrible secrets inside themselves. Now the seeds begin to germinate and the bad trip turns into a horrible nightmare. When it was discovered, that the flowers contain a dangerous substance that induces strange but vivid dreams, it became the new hit drug on the campus. The seeds of the flower had already spread around and it grew and blossomed without much notice. When they killed Herbert Friedman, the conductor of the biological experiment with the black flowers, they assumed everything was okay, of course it was not. 3 /5It has been two years since the incident at Leafmore High you witnessed in ObsCure and the survivors of the nightmare moved on to a university of Fallcreek.
