Set in the Prison City of Balduq, the Monstrums' adventure begins anew. Balduq is located in the Gllia-Erdlingen region, northeast of Esterior. This massive metropolis, known as the "Prison City," serves as the stage for a new adventure as the "Monstrums," individuals with supernatural abilities, embark on a quest to uncover the mysteries hidden within its formidable prison.
This installment retains the signature characteristics of the "Ys" series, such as diverse skill attacks, high-speed action with free dashing and jumping, and intense, nail-biting battles against colossal bosses. Furthermore, "Ys IX" introduces new elements tailored to its setting, including "Monstrum Gifts"—special abilities that allow for free exploration of the field—and the ability to manage a guild within the Prison City!
