Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis Review (Gamespot)

It seems old-fashioned at first, but Mana Khemia takes a surprisingly fresh look at old role-playing conventions.

The Good
* Zany cast of characters that grows on you
* Item synthesis is enjoyable and addictive
* Character progression is handled in a unique manner
* Combat-support actions are fun to activate.

The Bad
* Combat is easy and frequently unnecessary
* The early hours move at a slow pace
* It looks old.
