Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise 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.
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.

The Steam version benefits from widescreen support, visual refinements, and an updated soundtrack, all of which bring new life to the original assets.
