Released for the PS2 earlier this year, and currently scheduled for release on the PSP this fall, Ys: The Ark of Napishtim is an action role-playing game in which you'll assume the role of a redheaded hero named Adol Christin. Armed with three magical swords, Adol must explore hidden islands in the great vortex of Canaan as he attempts to uncover the secrets of the area's mysterious whirlpools.
Ys: The Ark of Napishtim combines real-time, fast-paced action with strategic boss battles. The PSP version of the game will also boast a number of minigames not found in the PS2 original. Other features on the PSP will include a jukebox mode that lets you listen to the game's entire soundtrack, as well as unlockable character profiles.
