Ys X: Nordics Arrives on Multiple Platforms, and the Steam Version features Co-op

Steam players can team up to help Adol on his latest action RPG adventure.

Falcom's Ys series is a venerable line of action RPGs. Starting in the days of the NES and Turbografx, Ys continues today with the tenth mainline game, Ys X: Nordics. The new game sees Adol, the series protagonist, teaming up with a lady pirate named Karja to battle an evil army of immortal monsters. Ys X is out now on PlayStation, Switch, and Steam. Most excitingly for us, the Steam version supports 2-player local co-op!

Features:

  • Two Heroes, One Story: Bound by unexpected circumstances, the young adventurer Adol and the Norman pirate Karja must work together to determine the fate of Obelia Gulf and its people.
  • Cross Action System: Swap between controlling Adol and Karja independently or together. Combine their unique strengths to overcome enemies, and build up the Revenge Gauge to unleash devastating attacks.
  • The Power of Mana: Harness the unique abilities of Mana to overcome challenges. Grapple and slide through dungeons, demolish obstacles, create new platforms, and uncover hidden treasures and critical points.
  • Sailor's Delight: The sailing ship known as the Sandras takes your exploration to new levels. Ocean travel, naval battles, and discovering uncharted islands are all made possible with this seaworthy vessel.

Ys X Nordics

The new game is said to be more difficult than previous Ys titles, but it certainly looks beautiful and exciting. On Steam, co-op mode needs to be enabled in options. Once the main player has completed the tutorial, a partner player can join in on a second controller. We'll have more coverage soon-ish!

Ys X: Nordics costs $59.99 on PlayStation, Switch, and Steam. Note that only the Steam version supports local co-op. Try the free demo to see what it's like!
