Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
It's a real shame that The Oath in Felghana just isn't the kind of game Falcom makes anymore, but the fact it's gotten a modern re-release at least gives me hope that Memoire releases of Ys I & II, The Ark of Napishtim, and SEVEN are right around the corner. Ys doesn't have the same magic it used to anymore, but as long as the older games remain accessible on modern consoles, we'll always be able to go back to the classics. Whether you're a JRPG fantatic looking for something new to play, an ...
Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana makes a handful of smart improvements to an already great action RPG, making it look and feel better than ever.
A classic Action RPG that looks and sounds better than ever, Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana may not be for everyone, but those looking for something simpler will undoubtedly love this one.
Despite being one of the longest-running JRPG series still active today, Falcom's Ys series started seeing some measure of success only recently, but this wasn't caused by an increase in the quality of newer entries in the series over the older ones, as Adol's adventures have always been extremely fun to play through and generally well-received by the dedicated fan base, with only a few exceptions. One of these exceptions is the third entry in the series, Wanderers from Ys, a game that wasn't as well received as the first two entries in the series due to the fact that it did away with the fast...
Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is a remaster of the third game in the iconic Ys series. These action-JRPGs have been wowing gamers with slick combat and gorgeous music since 1987. The good news is that this title is still a joy to play and a great entry point. The bad news is that it’s incredible difficult and, updated portraits aside, pretty ugly.
Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana may show its age with its mechanics, but still holds up surprisingly well. It lacks many of the standard features of modern Ys games, such as multiple playable characters, minigame battles and homebase building, but still provides the same story-driven adventure with fast-paced action combat. It's a relatively short adventure that can be completed in around ten or twelve hours, but none of that time is wasted with unnecessary filler. Between the charming visuals, enjoyable gameplay and amazingly-reworked soundtrack, Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is a great a...
Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is a throwback in the best way possible, highlighting the series' strengths and offering a fun time.
One of Falcom's best Ys games comes to modern consoles, but the end result should've been better.
Originally conceived as a reimagining of the 16-bit console classic Ys III: Wanderers From Ys, this fan-favorite entry returns, newly remastered as Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana. Nearly 15 years after its previous release, longtime fans can look forward to numerous improvements and upgrades, including an all-new voiceover for legendary protagonist, Adol Christin. With remastered high-definition visuals and music, the epic adventure has never looked or sounded better. Nintendo Switch version reviewed. Review copy provided by XSEED for testing purposes.
Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana might not light the world on fire in a modern landscape, but still stands as a formiddable remaster of a classic action-RPG that would have otherwise been lost to the sands of time. This entry cuts a lot of the complexities that have become synonymous with the genre and offers an easily understood romp that is a great palette cleanser after a glut of dense RPGs in the last year. While I found this to be a bit too simple in the long run, others may find this to be a compelling return to one of Ys' lesser recognised shores.
A remaster of a reimagining, Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana offers a classic Ys experience with enhanced visuals and more. As much as it is improved, however, it feels very basic by today's standards, and some may find issue with its prickly difficulty spikes.
Dig in to your favourite Ys game, lovingly cooked just like you remember it.
