Against all odds, Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga is a high-effort remaster of crossover fighter from a bygone era
It’s amazing to see this game released globally, especially considering how far the Trails series has come with localizations – and Ys is right behind it, with a remake of *Ys V* likely on the way. This game feels like a product of a very different time in gaming. Fighting games were just starting to become the popular esports they are today, and with so many affordable handheld consoles, developers were taking more risks and creating experimental fighting games. *Ys vs. Trails* is a perfect example of that – it’s essentially a fighting game built using the engine from *Ys Seven*.
