Long-running action RPG series gets a new trailer

My hunt for a JRPG that doesn’t bore me into uninstalling it within two hours continues. This time, I’m casting my eyes across Ys IX:MonstrumNox, an action-RPG in which you explore a prison city and hack up monsters with a sword. Something tells me that it won’t be the JRPG to hook me, but I’ll give it a try when it releases on PC on July 6th.

Ys 9 came out on PlayStation 4 earlier this year and folks seemed to like it just fine, praising its story, the Monstrum abilities, and its speedy pace. The running-up-walls thing is the big appeal to me. I like that the enormous city you’re locked within seems so open and vertical.
These are my impressions based on a trailer and some reading, though. Maybe you’ve played it and want to advocate for that grey world, or the nuances of its combat system. I’d genuinely be curious to hear it.
You canwishlist Ys 9: Monstrum Nox on Steam now.
