    All I'm going to say, and quite frankly this is too much for something like this, is come the **** on Compile Heart and Idea Factory. You're better than this. If you can't make an ARPG yourself, then work with someone else like you did with Cyberdimension, because this attempt is abysmal.

    Gameplay is nothing special but fun and I really like the characters a lot. The story is more about the characters and the world than a real story with twists and so on and I also really like that.

    There's not much I can say about Arc of Alchemist given its short runtime; there's just not a lot for me to work with. It's a very mediocre game with few redeeming qualities. Compile Heart is toying with my feelings once again.

    It’s a huge misfire from a developer that, at the very least, tends to be pretty competent, and it means you shouldn’t feel any hesitation about skipping this one and going back and playing one of Compile Hearts many better RPGs.

    At the end of the day, Arc of Alchemist delivers a decent gaming experience. The characters' personalities are fun, and their antics are worthy spectacles. The building mechanics are a fun respite from the otherwise ho-hum aspects of the game. Those who are interested in the genre may find this to be worth their time, but the music, art, and significant chunks of the gameplay are too blasé to talk up.
