Ys III: Wanderers from Ys is a 1992 action role-playing game for the SNES, originally developed by Nihon Falcom. Departing from the top-down perspective of previous entries, it shifts the series into a side-scrolling action-platformer where you directly control the swordsman Adol Christin, slashing through enemies and exploring the land of Felghana.
How to Play
The objective is to guide Adol through various dungeons and towns, defeating bosses and uncovering the mystery behind the evil threatening his companion Dogi's hometown. Use the D-pad to move, the B button to jump, and the Y button to attack. The A button activates equipped magic rings, while the X button opens your inventory to manage weapons, armor, and items. In the browser, the D-pad maps to the arrow keys, B to Z, Y to A, A to X, X to S, and Start to Enter.
Tips
- Upgrade frequently: Always keep your equipment updated. Buying the latest sword and armor in town is crucial, as enemy stats scale steeply.
- Level up: If a boss feels impossible to beat, taking a few minutes to gain one or two levels can make a massive difference in your damage output and survivability.
- Downward thrust: Take advantage of Adol's downward thrust (pressing down while attacking in mid-air) for safer, consistent hits on grounded enemies.
