"The story here takes a back seat to the brilliant and compulsive dungeon crawling gameplay, which should appeal even to those who don't tend to enjoy action RPGs. No puzzle, no battle and no single room ever outstays its welcome in Ys Origin, resulting in one of the briskest, easy-going games we've played in a long time. Sure, the visuals could be better, the overall length might be too short for hardcore RPG fans and there's a lot of grinding afoot, but this remains a solid choice if you're a fan of this sort of thing. An easy recommendation to pretty much anyone who has an interest in RPGs, Ys Origin is perfect even if you've never touched a game in the series before. Now, can we get Ys: The Oath in Felghana on Switch, too?"

About

Last Origin is a mobile RPG that layers turn-based combat over a post-apocalyptic story where humanity’s fate rests on your squad of heroes. You command a ragtag group of survivors against alien parasites called Iron Worms, balancing unit abilities and positioning to outmaneuver each wave. Resource management matters as much as strategy, every mission requires weighing risks and rewards to advance without overextending your team. The game’s strength lies in its tactical depth and steadily escalating difficulty. With 180+ skills to master and randomized maps that force adaptability, late-game battles test both planning and reflexes. Though released in 2019, its 4.1/5 average rating on app stores shows the challenge remains satisfying for genre fans. The stark, minimalist art style keeps focus on the gameplay, making it a no-frills but mechanically solid pick for strategy enthusiasts.
