Experience the latest action RPG featuring Adol Christin, a legendary adventurer who left behind over a hundred adventure journals for posterity, now on Steam!
Who are the immortal beings known as Griegers appearing around Obelia Bay?
Take control of Adol and Karja to engage in fast-paced battles, utilizing steps and dashes to defeat your foes!
■Adol Christin
He's the main character of the story, a vibrant adventurer with fiery red hair and eyes full of curiosity. Adol left his first adventure land, Esteria, at age 17 and was believed to have set off for Celceta. However, according to one of the adventure logs found in his family home, it's revealed that he had visited Obelia Bay with the former thief Dogi before heading to Celceta. 
■Karja Balta
The sole daughter of Grimmson, the leader of the Baltan Navy. Karja leads the rough seafarers in piracy with confidence, earning her the moniker 'Pirate Princess' among the people of Karnack who have seen her in action. While she possesses elegant features, she is armed with a hatchet and a round shield, displaying a ruthless, Norman fighting style. 
The all-new “Cross Action” system allows players to fight in two modes depending on the situation: a speedy solo mode in which the player controls gameplay supported by a partner who attacks automatically; and a dual mode in which two players simultaneously control a series of actions to engage in a turn-based battle against a powerful enemy!
■Enhance Your Skills with Increased Proficiency and Unlock Advanced Skills!
Improve your skills by using them frequently, thereby increasing their proficiency and power. Certain skills, when leveled up in proficiency and meeting specific conditions, can unlock even more potent advanced skills.
■Combo Skills Get a Power Surge with Proficiency & Revenge Gauge!
By successfully guarding against enemy attacks, your Revenge Gauge fills up. Activating skills in this state boosts their power based on the gauge's multiplier. As skill proficiency enhances the base power of skills, unleashing a combo skill at maximum proficiency and a full Revenge Gauge can deal immensely more damage than regular solo mode skills.
■Teamwork is Crucial!
Explore dungeons and interact with Raven Marker Stones to temporarily release the mana bonds linking Adol and Karja. During this time, control Adol and Karja separately. You’ll need to strategically switch between them, coordinating their moves from different positions to overcome challenges effectively.
The game also features the “Mana Actions” system, a special ability that greatly expands the freedom of the player in fields and dungeons.
"Mana String": Use a string of Mana like a pendulum to reach faraway places
"Mana Ride": Allows you to glide on a grimble board
"Mana Burst": A Mana attribute attack released by a charge attack
■Spin the Threads of Fate! Nornir's Spindle: "Mana String"
Harness the power of Mana Strings to swing like a pendulum and reach far-off places with this dynamic mana action! Upgrade your Mana Actions to strengthen the strings, enabling you to manipulate objects and activate switches in dungeons.
■Ride with Style! The Grimble Board: "Mana Ride"
Soar and slide over the ground on the Grimble Board in this thrilling Mana Action! Glide over water, race down Mana Roads at high speed, or launch through the air from wind pockets for a fast-paced experience.
■Unleash the Power of Mana! "Mana Burst"
Release elemental Mana attacks with charged strikes! Adol uses fire and Karja ice to not only damage enemies but also to aid in exploration--burn away obstacles or create icy platforms.
■Enhance Your Perception! "Mana Sense"
Reveal hidden elements of the world with the ancient Druid Monocle. This Mana Action lets you detect enemies, uncover hidden gimmicks, and find buried treasures. As the Druid Monocle gets stronger, your Mana Sense sharpens, allowing you to slow down time and overcome challenges like impassable doors and treacherous walkways.
For the first time in the series, Ys X allows players to become a ship’s captain!
This adds an exciting new element of challenge to the adventure, such as exploring vast regions of the ocean using nautical charts as guides, and sometimes challenging enemy ships to naval battles!
Engage in fishing at designated spots on water surfaces within fields and dungeons, where you can spot the shadows of fish.
First, select your bait and fishing spot to begin. Once you get a bite, you'll need to quickly press buttons or manipulate the joystick according to the situation. This will increase the fishing gauge at the top of your screen. When it's completely filled, you've successfully reeled in your catch!
Supports 21:9 ultra-wide monitors and frame rates exceeding 60fps! Enjoy a wider field of view and smoother gameplay.
Preset settings tailored to your gaming environment are also available, ensuring a comfortable experience even on the Steam Deck.
With improved performance and support for Intel® XeSS, NVIDIA DLSS, and AMD FSR, you can experience the beautiful world of Ys X at higher resolutions and frame rates than ever before.
The story takes place in the northern sea Obelia Bay, a bay filled with countless islands of all sizes.

The config doesn't seem to work at all. Changing the controller assignment has no effect. Game runs at 30 fps in the first area with monsters on a 3080 graphics card. Setting to any preset, or lowering settings changes nothing. No keybind config in game? Console had this Gonna refund until this is fixed --- Translated from google: 首先，该配置似乎根本不起作用。 更改控制器分配没有任何效果。 游戏在第一个区域以 30 fps 的速度运行，怪物在 3080 显卡上运行。设置为任何预设或降低设置都不会改变。 游戏里没有按键设置吗？控制台有这个 将退款直到问题解决为止
Ys X: Nordics? A New Horizon for the Adventurer Adol Christin! (ฅ'ω'ฅ) [b]"Ys X: Nordics brings fresh mechanics and an exciting northern-sea setting to the legendary Ys series, offering fast-paced combat and vibrant exploration, but struggles with repetitive environments."[/b] Note : With the latest update, Ys X: Nordics has undergone substantial optimization, transforming the gameplay experience significantly. Thanks to the implementation of DirectX 12 and new upscaling technologies like DLSS and FSR, the game now runs smoother with higher frame rates and enhanced visual fidelity. Players previously troubled by performance issues will find that the game now handles beautifully, even on ultra-wide monitors. [h1][b][1] Intro : [/b][/h1] Ys X: Nordics is the latest action RPG in the Ys franchise, featuring the iconic red-haired adventurer, Adol Christin. This time, the game takes place in the mysterious Obelia Bay, a northern sea full of scattered islands. Adol embarks on a new journey, accompanied by Karja Balta, the Pirate Princess. The narrative focuses on their encounters with the Normans, fierce seafaring warriors, and the enigmatic Griegers, immortal beings threatening the region. The game introduces several new systems, including the Cross Action combat system and Mana Actions, giving players a fresh perspective on exploration and battle mechanics. [h1][b][2] Game Experience : [/b][/h1] The most significant feature in Ys X: Nordics is the Cross Action system, which allows players to switch between solo and duo battle modes. This adds both depth and flexibility to the combat, making encounters fast-paced and dynamic. Adol and Karja each bring unique abilities to the battlefield, and their synergy becomes key in taking down tougher enemies. The system is satisfying, especially with mechanics like the Revenge Gauge, which rewards defensive play with enhanced offensive power. However, for players new to the series, these mechanics can feel slightly overwhelming until they get the hang of it. Exploration in Ys X is enhanced by Mana Actions, which allow you to traverse and interact with the environment in creative ways. Mana Strings let you swing between platforms like a pendulum, while Mana Ride offers a thrilling glide over terrain and water. These mechanics make moving around the map more engaging, but the islands themselves can feel visually repetitive. Unlike previous entries, such as Ys VIII, which offered diverse and visually stunning landscapes, Ys X’s island environments often feel too similar to each other, slightly diminishing the sense of adventure. One of the game’s highlights is its optimization on PC, featuring support for ultra-wide monitors and frame rates exceeding 60fps, all powered by DirectX 12. The integration of DLSS, FSR, and XeSS ensures smooth gameplay and beautiful graphics, making Ys X look and run better than previous installments. Even though the game generally performs well, some players may experience minor stuttering in certain areas, though it’s far less of an issue than in past Ys games. [h2][b][3] Pros and Cons : [/b][/h2] [b](+) Pros [/b] [list] [*]Dynamic Combat: The Cross Action system and skill proficiency mechanics make battles feel fast-paced, strategic, and rewarding. [*]Mana Actions: Adds variety to exploration, with fun abilities like Mana String and Mana Ride for navigating the environment. [*]Survivor AI: The updated AI makes escorting survivors much less frustrating, adding tactical depth to gameplay. [*]PC Optimization: Stunning visuals and smooth performance with advanced technologies like DLSS and DirectX 12, especially on ultra-wide monitors. [*]Tight Character Focus: The relationship between Adol and Karja is well-explored, making their dynamic a highlight of the story. [/list] [b](-) Cons [/b] [list] [*]Repetitive Environments: The islands and dungeons lack visual diversity, making mid-to-late game exploration feel monotonous. [*]Overwhelming Mechanics: New players may find the complexity of the Cross Action system and Revenge Gauge overwhelming. [*]Occasional Technical Issues: Despite significant improvements, minor stuttering or slowdowns can still occur in specific areas. [/list] [h2][b][4] Final Thoughts : [/b][/h2] Ys X: Nordics continues the Ys tradition of exhilarating combat and storytelling, while successfully introducing new features like the Cross Action and Mana Actions systems. The dynamic battles and strong character focus are highlights, offering a refreshing experience for both series veterans and newcomers. Despite some drawbacks, such as repetitive environments and a steep learning curve for new mechanics, Ys X delivers an engaging adventure that fans of action RPGs won’t want to miss. While the game doesn’t quite reach the heights of Ys VIII, it still stands as a worthy addition to the beloved series. [h2][b][5] Side Note : Nyanco Channel? [/b][/h2] If you’re a long-time fan of Ys or looking to dive into the series for the first time, Ys X: Nordics is a solid entry point.

First steam review I love the franchise and have played all Ys games to date. I've already enjoyed Ys10 with Switch, however I couldn't wait for Steam release to come out and play this masterpiece with good graphics. However, I cannot recommend the purchase yet, not because the game is bad but because porting is horrible like many others have pointed - Frame drop happening during cut scenes, map change...etc - random termination - sometimes once every couple minutes, sometimes after hour or two, sometimes never. just random - Random freezing during loading All of these are technical issues happening due to poor QA. I'm very saddened that one of my favourites got ruined like this on a PC port.
既然新的诺曼荣光已经能体验完整内容吗，这个组合包的意义是什么？这不是诈骗吗？
遊戲肯定是推薦，但廠商這樣真的很噁心， 不推薦是給廠商的， 留個評價提醒自己以後看到伊蘇新作發售不要衝首發， 以後伊蘇不衝首發了，都等強化特價版， 伊蘇Ⅸ不是很安分嗎? X這代開強化版的頭以後就蹲強化版就好。 伊蘇VIII劇情相信大家知道有多好， IX雖然沒那麼優但也不錯(動作、戰鬥、異能流暢)， X這行銷把前面鋪的好感度都敗光了， 開發商也不看看大概負評都在講什麼? 大部分負評都是說加強版手法吃相難看， 真的很噁心， 上一個噴的是人中之龍0導演版， 再上上一款是P5R， 強化版的銷售手法吃相難看，把首發支持的當白痴， 內容也不到再買一款遊戲價格的價值(對有原版的人來說)， 當初上架優化一坨導致下架(下架時2024-03-22)好幾個月，還有臉搞這操作， 直到重新上架(2024-09-26)後快3個月(2024-12-20)就宣布要出加強版， 你不覺得間隔時間有點短? 看到消息後就沒開遊戲了。 到現在還是覺得廠商這樣很噁心所以還是上來補評價。 你要這樣STEAM版倒不如就到時候直接上加強版就好， 相信會有人看到願意再等一下玩加強版吧? 紀錄都要重來，不是所有人都想再重玩一遍， 像P5玩過了，P5R我就不會想再去買一次， 真的覺得以你原有遊戲內容的價格來扣掉新增內容後的價值有多到值一款新遊戲的價格嗎? 充其量只是新增要素跟一些內容還有補充劇情，主體劇情內容不是原版就有的? 看討論根本都不值得已買過原版的人再買一次(除非有愛)， 很多討論都是還好沒衝首發，等等黨勝利的留言不是嗎? 新作發售情報時下方也都是這種留言，根本沒人覺得很讚， 不可能會有:哇靠!這加強版誠意十足，物超所值，玩的好爽喔之類的。 (這應該是遊戲廠商自己的夢裡才會有這種話，至少我沒看過) 這樣先Steam上原版沒多久看到加強版又有多少已買過的人會買單加強版? 特別優惠包還要1241，真是去你的， 反正這款強化版我是不會買單的， 以後改蹲強化版特價，法可U。 但是如果伊蘇8 STEAM出中文的話我會再買一次。
你是人啊？去年12月买的，现在发现出个新dlc还要跟本体打包卖，以后一律等两三年的完全体再买了。
云豹我草饲你德玛
我草擬媽到底是誰教你們這要賺錢?捆绑包同個劇情當兩個遊戲在賣啊?
真的小丑，着实打的一手烂棋。谁教你这样赚钱？
There is a crash dump file bug, it is created upon closure in in the C drive-Users-[username]-AppData-Local-CrashDumps. The file size is about 300MB. The only way to prevent it is to exit the game by clicking the option from the Steam library. However, exiting the game via the Steam Library when the "WARNING" popup is displayed after starting the game will still create a crash-dump file. Exiting the game with the exit option in-game will also create a crash dump. Boot into the game completely first, then close the game from Steam itself to prevent the 300MB crash file. This really MUST be fixed!
