Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys

Ys IV: Mask of the Sun is an action role-playing game where players control the red-haired adventurer Adol Christin. Returning to the top-down bump combat style of the first two games, Adol runs into enemies to deal damage while exploring the land of Celceta. He collects elemental swords that grant magic spells for powerful attacks. The story follows Adol as he answers a plea for help from Celceta after Ys II, encountering characters like Karna, Lilia, and facing threats involving ancient powers and the Romun Empire. It stands out for its vibrant pixel art, memorable soundtrack, and return to classic Ys mechanics with added spell variety.
