About This Game

Originally released as a PSP exclusive, Ys SEVEN was the first fully 3D Ys title, the first Ys title to include a party-based battle system allowing players to swap control of characters in real-time, and the most story-heavy Ys game of its time.

This original PC port presents the game in full upscaled HD with a wide variety of resolution options, smooth 60 fps gameplay, full Steamworks integration featuring a variety of new achievements, and even a revised localization to ensure players receive the most immersive gaming experience possible.

Join redheaded adventurer Adol Christin and his loyal companion, Dogi, as they make good use of their pirate connections from adventures past to weigh anchor in the bustling port city of Altago – a former world trading capital that was cut off from foreign visitation for far too long by an all-too-recently ended war with the Romun empire.

The people of Altago are still distrustful of foreigners, and the land is crawling with monstrous creatures who are invulnerable to standard steel, rendering Adol’s tried and true arsenal of weapons from games past ineffective. Forced to rearm and retrain from scratch – and to prove his worth to this new country’s somewhat xenophobic populace – Adol takes up a king’s quest to explore a nearby set of ruins, only to find himself embroiled in a high-stakes game of appeasing ancient dragons and saving the world… yet again.

Along the way, he’ll meet a variety of companions old and new who will join him in his quest via the newly introduced party system, wherein up to three characters may be controlled at any one time. Only by mastering the use of pierce, slash, and thrust attacks, as well as dozens of unique skills, quick dodging, “flash guarding,” and more can Adol and his team uncover the mystery of the Five Great Dragons, the five ancient tribes of Altago, and the recent string of earthquakes that threaten to tear apart this ancient and storied land.

Come take part in the first Ys adventure of the modern era! The frenetic challenges and massive bosses that made this historic series famous are back, and they’re bigger than ever.

Make SEVEN your lucky number!

  • One of the most complex and involving storylines of the entire series, spanning well over 20 hours’ worth of gameplay

The start of modern Ys games. If you like them then this is the simple beginning.

Outdated and full of bugs, and even the game’s quirky charm doesn’t make up for it. Got sick of clipping through the map almost every time I tried a jump dash.

I found the need to talk to every NPC annoying

The last peak of Ys as a series. Only downside is that the game does not have a boss rush or similar mode packaged like most of the other modern-ish games.

Ys Seven is a game that I have a complex relationship with. Originally a PSP only games, I got it on day one, played the crap out of it, loved it... then put it away and never touched it again. Then comes the Steam release, got it and then just... stopped for years. Probably due to my having played it so much years earlier. After years I picked it back up and played through it again, completely, and my thoughts have changed a lot. I don't actually know if I like this game, and the direction it started to push Ys into. Dropping focus of Adol as the sole character to form a party, different weapons having damage types against specific enemy types, basically rock-paper-scissors, and the escalation of threats to be bigger every time. Granted, Ys 6 started it with the ark being a threat to basically the world, trying to drown it to destroy all cultures and societies not of its makers, but Ys Seven continued it with the end of all life on a single continent as a cycle. It subverts Adol's...
