Is it still worth playing?
Set about 700 years before the first Ys story, inside Darm Tower, this action role playing game from 2006 has three playable characters. Yunica swings an axe and uses no magic, Hugo fires projectiles and controls two orbs but cannot strafe, and The Claw is unlocked after finishing the game once. Each one climbs the same levels with different story scenes. There are no shops or towns: enemies drop SP, which is spent at goddess statues, and the tower is not fully linear. A run takes roughly six to eight hours, short enough to fit all three characters in now.
