While the main draw ofYs Memoire: The Oath In Felghanais itsboss rush ethos, the game is still home to some enjoyable dungeons. There are five dungeons in the game proper, and a few exploration-focused areas that lead into them are heavy on the gameplay enough to be called dungeons themselves. Of course, the main reason to make it through Ys Memoire’s dungeons is to get to the boss fights at the end....
