Once Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy was revealed for North America, I was excited, as I really enjoyed the first game and hoped that this sequel would be as charming and interesting as the first. While the game was just that at first, it really showed its true colors the further it went along."
Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky will include a code to download Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy as a first print bonus.
More than certain that Sony will use their cloud service for BC, so would very much like to see games like this on it as well as the current PSN.
Gust will re-release Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy as a downloadable PS2 Classic in Japan.
VGC writes: "Gust is not your average JRPG developer. While most JRPG's attempt to make epic stories that have you saving the world and learning important life lessons along the way Gust is much happier making cute silly little stories with just a touch of raunchy humor. The first Gust game I reviewed was Ar Tonelico 2, which was a great game except for an unfortunate localization job and extremely dated visuals that brought the title down to being average overall. Has Mana Khemia 2 faired any better?"
