NIS Ys X: Nordics Deluxe Edition

Adol Christin sets sail again, and the physical collection grows. The Ys X: Nordics Deluxe Edition on Nintendo Switch bundles Falcom's action RPG with a digital soundtrack and a mini artbook, a clean package for a series that's been quietly delivering some of the best combat in the genre for over three decades. Nordics takes Adol into Viking-inspired territory with a dual-protagonist system, naval exploration, and the lightning-fast combat that makes Ys feel completely different from every other action RPG on the market.

When Adol swings, you feel it. That responsiveness is what keeps Ys fans loyal through every entry. The mini artbook gives you a physical look at the character and environment designs that bring the Nordic setting to life, and the digital soundtrack preserves Falcom Sound Team jdk's work, a soundtrack department that consistently produces some of the best music in gaming.

On Switch, physical Ys releases are the cornerstone of any serious JRPG collection. The franchise may not have the mainstream recognition of its competitors, but that's exactly what makes each physical entry a collector's piece. The deep cut that identifies real action RPG fans.
