Ys: The Ark of Napishtim is a simple jRPG with a hack&slash combat system and a manga/anime environment. This is another part of the series with a rich history - its first part, Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished, was published in 1987. Ys: The Ark of Napishtim talks about the same hero as his predecessor, Adol Christin with red hair.

Lush environments, beautifully rendered characters and animated 3D backdrops combine to create the setting for Adols newest adventure. In the world of Canaan, our red-headed hero must fight deadly monsters and menacing bosses with a variety of sword combinations, special attacks and magical spells creating a uniquely deep and compelling gameplay experience.
