Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana Overview
Ys: The Oath in Felghana is an action RPG originally developed and published by Falcom. It was first released for Windows in Japan in 2005 and later for the PSP in 2010. The game is a remake of Ys III: Wanderers from Ys, which debuted in 1989. In 2023, Japan received a remastered version of Ys: The Oath in Felghana, and now it’s making its way to the West with a release date set for January 7, 2025, on PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.
This remastered edition includes several upgrades and quality-of-life improvements, such as refined character portraits, newly recorded voice lines for protagonist Adol Christin, and a remastered soundtrack.
The story follows Adol and his blue-haired companion, Dogi, as they arrive unannounced in Dogi’s homeland of Felghana after an eight-year absence. They find the region in turmoil: violent monsters roam the outskirts, a dormant volcano has erupted, and a tyrannical new lord has begun extorting the suffering citizens. Together, Adol and Dogi must unravel the mysteries behind these events, uncover ancient legacies, and confront political conspiracies to bring peace back to Felghana.
Ys: The Oath in Felghana, like other games in the Ys series, offers fast-paced hack-and-slash gameplay with elements of platforming and light puzzle-solving. However, unlike some other entries in the series, this game focuses solely on Adol as the playable character.

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana Gameplay
Ys: The Oath in Felghana continues the Ys series' tradition of fast-paced hack-and-slash gameplay, complemented by platforming and light puzzle-solving. Presented in an isometric view, the game utilizes the Napishtim engine, which focuses on a single playable character—Adol Christin. Adol wields a combination of sword combat and elemental magic (Fire, Wind, and Earth), which are crucial for both battles and puzzle-solving.
Magic abilities can be used for ranged attacks or to exploit enemy weaknesses, adding versatility to combat. Boss battles are particularly challenging, requiring players to carefully read attack patterns and react strategically to succeed.
The combat system is straightforward, lacking dodge or parry mechanics, emphasizing precision and timing. The game world is interconnected, featuring dungeons, towns, and fields to explore, maintaining the engaging action-adventure style fans of the series have come to expect.
