Gameplay

The RPG-style statistical elements and the overhead view of most of the previous games are retained in Ys V. As in Ys III, there is no auto-attack; the player must press a button to swing Adol's sword. Adol is also given the ability to jump and defend with his shield. A new magic system is introduced in Ys V as well, which requires the player to charge up spells by holding a button before they can be cast. Adol must level up physical skills and magical skills separately.
Release
Ys V was originally released on December 29, 1995 in Japan for the Super Famicom. The following year, Falcom released a second version of the game with a higher difficulty level, known as Ys V Expert. A remake was developed by Arc System Works and published by Taito for the PlayStation 2 on March 30, 2006.
Reception
Japanese publication Famitsu gave the original SFC version of the game a score of 26 out of 40. Famitsu also scored the PS2 release of Ys V a 28 out of 40. Super GamePower gave it a 4/5.
