Ys is an action RPG series that began in 1987, but this version on Sega Genesis, 'Wanderers from Ys', represents a port of an earlier entry in the series. The game follows Adol Christin as he explores the land of Ys, battling monsters and overcoming challenges. The gameplay involves side-scrolling action combined with RPG elements like character progression and item collection.  This specific version is known for its distinctive Japanese style, with its story and presentation reflecting its origin.  The gameplay focuses on fast-paced sword combat, a classic feature for the series, and this version maintains that core mechanic. This particular iteration was developed by Nihon Falcom and published in Japan.
