Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
41 of 147 sampled reviews raised it
So right around when they released Ys I & II Complete, which you can buy today on Steam (as Ys I & II Chronicles+), they put out Zwei: The Arges Adventure to mark a return to unique, story-driven, hardcore but accessible ARPG goodness.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 147 sampled reviews raised it
While the environments and dungeon visuals show their age—repetition and simple geometry are common—the expressive art direction helps maintain the game’s charm.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 147 sampled reviews raised it
Highly addictive and unique music from Falcom's Sound Team jdk, available in its 2001 form and a 2008 rearranged soundtrack made for the game's PSP port; expect strong Falcom melodies but in diverse acoustic genres and styles, radically different from the company's rock and orchestral sound
