Ys Online:The Ark of Napishtim in IOS

Dive into a Fantasy JRPG Saga

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

82/100

Bringing a classic Ys experience to mobile as an MMO is a bold move, but The Ark of Napishtim succeeds by keeping the soul of the series intact. The real-time combat is fast and fluid, capturing that signature 'Ys feel' where movement and positioning are just as important as your skill rotation. The boss battles are the clear highlights, requiring genuine strategy and dodging rather than just standing in place and tapping buttons.

The world is beautiful, and the remixed soundtrack will be a treat for longtime fans. While it does incorporate many modern mobile MMO tropes—like auto-pathing and daily tasks—the core gameplay is strong enough to stand on its own. The social features are well-integrated, making it easy to team up for dungeons. It’s a great bridge between old-school action RPGs and modern mobile social gaming, even if the gacha elements for gear can be a bit of a grind.

The Far West is where the sea meets its end.

Many say it is the location of nature's wrath, "The Great Vortex of Canaan," which engulfs all ships that dare to attempt a traverse.

Why does it exist?
