Ys X Nordics review Switch

System: Switch
Release date: October 24, 2024
Developer: Falcom
Publisher: NIS America


Adol Christin has certainly led an interesting life. Across the series’ thirty-six year lifespan he’s crossed numerous continents, explored the ruins of civilizations past, and saved the world from dire threat on more than one occasion. But, fearless adventurer that he may be, Adol has never had much luck with ships. It seems that every time Adol sets foot on a ship it ends up sinking due to one circumstance or another, so putting him at the helm of one probably sounds like a bad idea. However, Ys X: Nordics does just that, and manages to mostly stay the course to deliver yet another solid entry in the series.

October 14: Today, QUByte Interactive announced a partnership with Spaceboy to publish the upcoming project Hannah. We don’t have a release window yet, but a release on Switch is confirmed.

The game is set in a surreal retro world with memories and nightmares in which players can climb ropes, swing, slide, solve puzzles, assemble gadgets and vehicles, and even use enemies to go unnoticed.

Your reward is one of the game’s many accessories, which in this case is a Might Bell that can detect nearby Might Crystals that you haven’t collected just yet. Here’s how to start The Great Fairy’s Request and obtain the Might Bell accessory.
