Critic Reviews for Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga
It’s amazing that Nihon Falcom has released Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga for their fans. But longtime Trails and Ys fans will find a lot of their favorite characters missing. Hopefully Nihon Falcom will make a proper Ys Seven modern console port soon.
Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga is a fighter brought back from the era of the PlayStation Portable. A lot of the enhancements are great but it doesn't stop it from feeling like its still from a handheld from that era.
The only rival here is Estelle Bright herself. Past a few short moment enjoyments mostly reserved for fans of the series, Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga isn’t a game I would openly recommend going into blindly due to its almost phoned-in concept and experience. Just stick to another crossover fighter if you want a good brawl with your friends, or boot up Power Stone 2 if you still have it. If you really want Trails in the Sky or Ys, new games of both series are released annually.
Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga is a fun crossover game, but limited as a fighting game in 2025. Still, for fans of the franchises, the RPG systems the game brings are functional and the fan service is pretty nice.

Fun fighting game crossover between the Ys and Trails in the Sky series
A wild Nihon Falcom mash-up that brings the hype, the heart, and the classic soundtrack magic!
Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga is bursting with nostalgic fighting fun for any fan of Nihon Falcom's RPGs. Although it's rather basic, there's so much packed in that you're bound to love unlocking oodles of goodies as you take in all the lovely sights and sounds. ⚔️
Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga is a crossover game that combines the fast-paced action of Ys with the narrative of Trails in a fighting game with an RPG soul. The remaster modernizes graphics, sound, and multiplayer, while respecting the foundation of the PlayStation Portable original. A recommended title for fans of Nihon Falcom and those looking for strategic combat in action-packed arenas.
