I've been playing this game a lot recently. It's a remake of Ys III: Wanderers from Ys, and it's a really good one. The music is awesome, and it plays really well. It's a really cool Action RPG that has a decent little story, and lots of cool abilities you get as you go along. It's on sale in the Steam sale right now for $4.49 http://store.steampowered.com/app/207320/Ys_The_Oath_in_Felghana/.
I remember Ys III being extremely difficult when I was a kid. This game keeps with that tradition, but it's a little more manageable. In Ys III, you'd have to sit at the beginning of a level and kill the same monsters over and over again to level up. Then you'd run outside of the dungeon to get your health back, and go back in and do it all over again until you were strong enough to go further into the dungeon. In this version of the game, you'll feel like the beginning of a level is really difficult, but doable if you're careful. By the end of a level, you'll just be tearing through all of the enemies because you've powered up enough to handle the level. The bosses are really hard, but once you figure out their pattern, it's just a matter of executing well enough to beat them down.
I just figured out recently you pronounce Ys as "ees" and not the individual letters Y and S. I think I prefer the individual letters honestly.
