Graphics: Old school 2d Graphics meets 3d in this unique mix between nostalgia and pure work of art, this game has what it takes to get people to sit and play this game day in and day out.

Music: The music is nicely composed and gives the game the atmosphere it needs it’s a *joy* listening to it and for those who have surround this games features “Dolby Digital Pro Logic II”.

Battle System: Part from the mix between 2d and 3d graphics used its pretty standard; you attack each other and like always those with high SPD or first attack skill usually starts the first attack. The neat thing in this game is that if you are empty of a Mana item you can always make one in battle, of course only the main hero can do it because he is an alchemist and you need to have Mana!.

Character Design: Nicely designed characters, kind of looks like it’s made by an Anime artist, it’s a work of art for sure.

Gameplay: You can extract elemental material from field objects wile roaming a town or nearest forest, each object gives you a mana represented by what their made of, like extracting from a rock would give you stone mana and a wood sign would give you wood mana and so forth.

The world map is free roaming to a extend, you got to progress in the main plot to be able to go to new places and off course there are side quests that can be done while following the main plot.

You learn mana synthesis skills as you progress in the game and by using those skills it requires an amount of mana to make different item, there’s about 300 times that can be made in this game using the power of mana.

Use your alchemy power to defeat enemies in battle or create items, bash those buggers with your mace or give a Bomb life and make it attack on its own, heal your party using a combo of Potion and Skill so it effects your entire party, its lots of fun and it is certainly an enjoying game!”.

And off course there is lots of other stuff that I’m not going to write about here because it might ruin the game for you.

Game Value: You get 2d graphics mixed with 3d, it’s a unique mix between nostalgia and pure work of art, the music is nicely composed and gives the game the atmosphere it needs, and the character design is skilfully done, not to forget a nicely written story line.

Final Words: A quality game, and a nice addition to your collection

Replay Value: Medium
