Their work on the Legend of Heroes series and Ys series has cemented them, in my opinion, as one of the best when it comes to Japanese style roleplaying games.

MonsterVine: "Ys Origin is a good entry into the series with a stronger focus on dungeon crawling than most of the other games it is related to. "
