Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys

English Translation

Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys is an action role playing game for the Turbografx-CD.

Contrary to "Ys IV: Mask of the Sun" on the Super Famicom, "The Dawn of Ys" is Hudson Soft's PC Engine CD-ROM² interpretation of a fourth Ys game. Despite sharing basic story elements with Tonkin House's "Mask of the Sun", "Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys" is an entirely different game and is more similar with "Ys Book I & II" for the TurboGrafx-CD, in terms of gameplay and style.
