Funny. Sunsoft retools this to look like a clone of Ys, and meanwhile around this time, Falcom are making Ys V look like a clone of Mana. It's a circle of ripoffs!

I just looked and, sadly, it doesn't seem like there's an English version. Unless you can read Japanese, looks like the only option for playing Xak 2 is a fan translation of the MSX version.

I played through xak 3 on the pc engine with an eglish patch. It's a VERY different game. The footage in this video doesn't do it justice. It's a good looking game. It also has some adult content. I recommend it.

I recently replayed Ys II, both those first two games have a lot of the same things you described in Xak, so I could imagine myself enjoying it in the same way. Almost like the game is "what if Lagoon ascended to being decent". I'm assuming since Xak part 2 didn't come out on SNES it sounds like siding with the monster criminal is the good end despite neither giving you any closure. I will say that bosses that one shot you even after you grinded to the point of making all the other monsters trivial is a warcrime in the Ys-like subgenre.

You can go through the poisonous swamp and to the second town early and if you enchant the second sword you can attack the enemies near this town for faster exp This game is alright, a bit too similar to Ys but without the distinction of the bump combat though

As much of a blatant Ys clone as Xak is the developers added some small quality of life changes. You can jump to get out of being cornered and for some basic platforming and you can carry multiple healing items. If you enjoyed Ys book 1 and 2 Xak is enjoyable enough.

@0:22 - it clearly says in Katakana that Japanese people should say this foreign word as “Sa~ku” above the English “Xak” … So, ‘Sa~ku”. See also - a katakana chart ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana ). Now you know how to pronounce it (or, at least, how the Japanese creator intended it to be pronounced).
