Chivalry update doesn't let me play new maps and modes against bots. I wanted 1v1 against bots to practice without 30 second respawns, dammit. How can I get good?

Even if you loved Ys Origins and Oath with the same grotesque, anal lust I did, you need to know what you're getting into when you buy Ys 1 and 2. It's a remake of the old Ys games that are almost older than me. Apart from graphics, many of the sensibilities are the same. Note combat is "bump" based. You walk into enemies to hurt them, preferably at an angle where they can't hurt you by walking into you.

It's... old school. Plus, expect vague hints, getting lost, and at least one or two diabolical puzzles that are obvious with hindsight but require you to think about the mechanics.
