Vay

The games super fun the only problem is I don’t get the video to play but the game works and the developers are still fixing bugs after a long time so I’m glad they are still improving

I came across this game a few months ago, and just recently completed it. Great port of a classic game, with a wonderful storyline… and it looks amazing on Apple TV. Classic RPG at its finest!

Thank you for the update, it’s amazing!<br/><br/>For some reason I cannot fathom I was looking up old Working Designs games and noticed there was an iOS port of Vay. I owned, and I fact still own, the SegaCD version of this game. The control scheme is atrocious but I couldn't pass this game up for $0.99. Other than the fact that movement is highly annoying this is an amazing classic RPG.

Good classic game but the developer could have updated the character’s portrait. Looks like pictures my 8 year old drew... lol. Added a story update saver so players know we’re to go. I had to leave the game for a couple of weeks and when I restarted the game, totally wasn’t sure where I was in the storyline. Little things like that would have made this classic more enjoyable.

1) First of all, I am HAPPY to see this old Sega CD J-RPG classic back into the mainstream. And for under $6 bucks, it is worth it.<br/><br/> 2) It is clear that several major great upgrades have been made to this game. The ability to expedite exp and gold earning by 4x rate of original game are THE best upgrade made. This is critically important, as the GRIND for exp and gold in the Sega CD original was unbearable. If you are like me and most 1990s-early 2000 J-RPG style gamers, you enjoy story with a moderate number of random battles. Grinding out levels and gold gets old fast (and why so many cheat devices came out in that period, like Action Replay and Game Genie, to reduce the grind). In this regard will like this remake’s exp/gold boosts! 👍🏻 <br/><br/> You can also turn off random encounters to get somewhere fast (be careful NOT to do it that too often or low level will speed doom at mandatory boss battles!).<br/><br/> 3) Here is where I think this is remake has failed at its worst: they RUINED the original Sega CD high quality movie voices and cut many of the clips!!! 😖 WHY?!? <br/><br/> The original game voice work on Sega CD is extremely good HQ quality to this day. This remake’s voice acting is horrible and the sound is low. The opening sequence totally sucked. Also, why change the names of places and characters (while giving ability to rename??)? Bizarre. <br/><br/> I was also sad to see this remake did not add a “stat change” at shops, to easily see if an item sold would increase or decrease character stats. This is a small, yet awesome quality of life upgrade. <br/><br/> 4) Finally, despite the many upgrades to graphics, the video graphic quality is subpar and that is worst letdown. One would expect the video/cutscene imagery quality to be sharpened… did not happen.<br/><br/> Am I still happy to have purchased this game? YES! Will I enjoy this little 1990s J-RPG gem? Oh yeah. 2.5 stars out of 5. <br/><br/>If cutscene videos are properly updated or use the Sega CD ones, then it will be a 4.5 out of 5 for me. Give this blast from the past a try, great for killing time waiting at dentist lobby or on a long flight! :)

This is a pleasure to play on mobile—I thought I’d stick with the traditional on-screen digital analog stick, but the point-and-click navigation is really smooth and has been an easy way to play the game either one-handed or when I’m out and about and can’t use my bluetooth controller. I love playing old-school JRPG’s, and I’ve been enjoying the monster designs and the combat system in Vay. The company behind the game keeps adding quality of life updates too, so that’s always a plus. The original cut-scenes in the game are old but gold, as they say, and I recommend this game for anyone that loves adventure stories.

At the time of release, controller support was not supported in iOS. That said, if the developers of this port can keep up with the iOS changes that have run many games into the I OS graveyard than they could take the extra time to add controller support to this title which would make it a much more enjoyable experience. <br/><br/>In terms of the game itself, there are much better iOS RPG games to play on the platform at this point and unless you are aiming at nostalgia or curious about the Sega CD, this is a title better off dismissed for more relevant gaming experiences.

I’m not sure if all the cut scenes will skip, but I don’t even feel like playing it to find out. The anime aspect of this game is something I loved and you rarely see anymore. For me, it’s unplayable until that is fixed.
