download Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis

Not unlike Rockstar’s Bully title Mana Khemia focuses a lot on class and even offers players the options to choose what classes they will take. The game centers around the academy, which also acts as your hub where you will spend a majority of your time taking classes and missions. Much like other RPGs the best part about each one is their wealth of knowledge you will learn throughout the course of the game. These include a flirty cat girl named Nikki, a supposed felon named Jess and the usual cast of characters that range from strange to just plain bizarre. As you begin to develop relationships with your fellow classmates they become party members. You assume the role of young Vayne Aurelius, a rookie alchemist who, wait for it-has amnesia! Not unlike the popular Harry Potter stories Vayne is summoned to a school for magically gifted children where he begins to hone his skills amongst other gifted alchemists. The story in Mana Khemia is common ground.

Either way you look at it Alchemists of Al-Revis is yet another solid title from the kings of niche Japanese goodness. If you have played any of the Iris games you shouldn’t have any trouble jumping right into Gust’s latest title, but be warned many of the deep attributes found in those games has been watered down, making Mana Khemia more accessible but also not quite as engaging. Gust, best known for their work on the fan-favorite Atelier Iris has returned to the PS2 with another fantasy driven RPG that, much like the aforementioned titles, has a strong focus on alchemy. The world of Mana Khemia will be familiar to anyone who has played the developer’s previous efforts.
