Gaming Evolution writes: "Mana Khemia: Student Alliance offers roughly 40-50 hours of gameplay, which hits the sweet spot for RPG nuts who love a long, in-depth gaming experience. For those who own Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis on the PlayStation 2, there really isn't much additional content to worthy a purchase of Student Alliance, however PSP owners new to the series or just longing for another RPG title will find enough content to pick up this title and give it a go. With Jump Start easing the fears of PSP owners and the issue of 'loading times', experiencing the multiplayer mode doesn't seem like a drag".
