I have been playing alchemiastory for about a year and a half. I at the time would've rated the game 4 stars because of how repetitive it can get, but now I'll rate it 5 stars because this is my favourite mobile game ever. The graphics are awesome and the character customisation is AMAZING. This is a legit game like with real people and a real way of functioning that isn't pay to win. Made friends on there too!!
While yes, the events can be a bit repetitive, the game overall is really great. It allows plenty of customization, and there's plenty of classes to choose from. I do hope they add more tier 3 classes, such as one for a pyromancer / wizard class. The only real problem is that the shops are ran by players. It's great in concept, but with fewer players, the prices are extremely high, and it's hard to find what you want. Please add an npc shop. (A search option for items would be great too)
Really great game. Challenging for both free players and paid but very doable. Paid or not, grinding is required for everyone in the long run so even after a year of playing, I still have so much to do (^_^ ;). As a tip for new players, maximize your first month by focusing on the main quests and level all t1 and t2 jobs. It'll make your long term gameplay a lot easier. It's also a really friendly platform so if you need help on anything- just ask anyone and they'd gladly lend a hand. 10/10 👌
In this review I want to compliment the choice for partner. I always dreamed to play a mmorpg game that include our customized second character (partner) instead of using several account to connect them. Really love that partner up is included! In my opinion, the game would be better to start off with movable character instead of immediately teleporting to the quest area. The game had some word mistakes, the quest is too easy? (I do not need to do a lot), how to level up?, a litte confusing.
It's alright for the type of game it is. My main complaint is the tutorial. It is WAY too long. You can't even accses the settings until the tutorial allows you free movement, which is about ten or so minuets into the game's start. Kinda a bad game design... I suggest making an option to skip tutorial or shorten it. Final complaint is the writing. It could be the bad translations, but the story and dialog is... bland as hell. Otherwise, the game is just... okay. 3 stars, no higher, no lower.
Pros: Great game, good story, plenty of cosmetic customization, and most items are f2p-accessible. Cons: Progress requires an insane amount of grinding, and the pay shop currency is unnecessarily split into two tiers, which, if combined, would remove the slight paywall aspects of the game, while still leaving only paying players to enjoy the freedom to get all of the things they want (within gacha system limits). It would also remove the need for free/pay offer duplication. 4 stars, taken as-is.
Game was fine way back, but has now evolved into a tedious and garbage time sink unless you empty your wallet. Pros: Very good character creator and customization options. Interesting story and constant events. Cons: Has become unbelievably pay-to-win. Things that seem free need crazy investment or premium to be useful. There's two "premium" currencies, just to add in more P2W garbage. Zero quality of life changes have been added since launch. Still one of the better mobile MMOs tbh.
Coming back again and restart from the start. This MMORPG is one of few I can really enjoy. While my social anxiety makes me unable to even let myself play in multiplayer mode, i still enjoyed the solo mode! It is easy to earn things and the quests were easy, and it is pretty friendly. Kinda hoped they make guild with many members instead of only bond with max of ten people (or twenty, i forgot). Kinda hoped there another MMORPG used this kind of mechanic where we have partner too ◉‿◉
Everything in this game is superb but the English translation is the worst. I just started playing the game. And there is tons of extra voices which are not translated. I'm telling this from my experience of watching and playing Japanese anime, games, RPGs, visual novels, etc.
It's made with a lot of Heart and it shows. Reminds me of Sky; pretty wholesome game. Portrait/Landscape option plus Offline mode too, it just keeps on giving. I wish it was action instead of turn based though. And the Tutorial is too long, I'm like let me explore already 😝
Really good game. Customizable character, good gacha rates, and nice graphics + open world. Gameplay is fairly boring, but it's nothing much. The only thing I'd complain about is that there's not really much to do in-game, at least as a starter. The menus/mechanics can get pretty confusing too.
The graphics and gameplay are spot on its good the quality is good and so is the character customization i would recommend this game to other fellow gamers! Sadly this game isn't for me don't get me wrong the game has no problem but im not really into these types of battles im more of a pvp player rather than a strategist.
So played this game for more than a year, really enjoyed it. I uninstalled and installed the game several times before whenever I want to play again and always get connected to my account but now my account just vanished. Gone. Nada. Tried contacting support but its been 2 months and no reply aside from the automated response. Great Just great.
It took only two days to make me bored very boring especially the combat. The combat is trash
there are alot of story scenes that starts getting annoying, you can't even move around, go to settings, etc. and it just redirects you to the story scene, there are also less battle scenes so it's quite disappointing.
I have invested over a thousand hours on this game. In contrast to many other mobile games, Ads are nonexistant and payment between free and paid items are ballenced. The graphics in this game have been very well done by the developers and perhaps the best done by Asobimo in gerneral, and maybe the best I've seen on a mobile game outside of Genshin or other high quality games. The turn-based Combat may take some good time to better understand, but overall, it's a good choice to the MMORPG world.
Love this game so much, amazing character customization, stories, all that jazz, but please simplify the tutorial and/or shorten it. It is wayyy too long. Less cutscenes and more gameplay + fighting !
This game is great. There's lots to do. I love the character customization. It does get a little difficult to level up, but it's okay. Keep up the good work! One thing you might work on is maybe just being able to give your partner a class instead of the charm setup. It makes it kinda difficult to level one class for yourself AND a completely different one for your partner. I would much prefer a regular class change system for your partner like the one for yourself.
Its a good game. But there are many bugs that get "fixed". For example, one of my avatar gear broke the total power and now it's less than half of what it's supposed to be. I emailed them about it and they had an update saying that the bug was fixed when it wasn't. (Edit: the bug still isn't fixed. I'm currently using Galaxy Witch Armor and I'm pretty sure with a maxed out rank 2 job, I should be more than 100,000 total power but instead it shows that I'm barely past 50,000.)
I don't know why this doesn't have a higher rating. It's a great game and very engaging. A little lag on loading screens but the character customization and companion system make this a uniquely fun experience. Fun quests and story, and gear shows up on your heroes. Maybe polish the English a bit but it's really great fun to play.
Ive played this game for 3 years and even when I fall off theres always a reason to come back. The grind is draining and soul breaking however, and like most games of these types to break up that monotonous grind is to become a whale (PTW) You can get the same results with FTP but it will just take a ccx looooong while
Gem purchase is confusing. When you go to even just purchase a regular gem package, you won't get them as a "paid gem" only a certain amount will be considered "paid". It almost seems like it's a scam. They should honestly do a better job explaining purchasing these things so people don't feel cheated every time they spend their hard earned money on this game.
The game is really fun, lot's of stuff going on so you don't get bored, but... Idk if it's just me but I can't get past level 50. Even if I win many battles, my exp is at 0 and nothing is raising it. I read other reviews and they say they had to grind a lot, so maybe I have to do that, but it's concerning how I'm seeing zero progress while my YOME is already at Lv 51 ಥ_ಥ
the beginners buff is good, but the EXP drop when the buff disappeared is way too much don't you think? Over all it's great game, graphics, storyline and everything but that's my Opinion, Hoping you could increase the EXP given by the monsters, cause the monsters having 20k+HP and we can only obtain 3k+EXP? that's so little don't you think? okay that all thanks for reading my side, love lots
I've been playing this game for not even a week but everything is AMAZING!! The graphics, gameplay, battle mechanics, and the characters too. Honestly every feature of the game is excellent, from the graphics to the mechanics. It can get a bit slow sometimes, but I think that's because of my device.
It's a really good game a lot of stuff to do to have fun, a bit complicated to understand at first but really enjoyable . Unfortunately to much problems with the server you will really get disconnected often no joke, the disgn of the menu in game is to much complicated when you start maybe something more simple could have been better and more fonctionnal.
