Watch: Gust’s next project Mana-Khemia

By Spencer . June 6, 2007 . 10:46am

On June 21 Gust is going to release another sprite based Playstation 2 RPG, Mana-Khemia: Gakuen no Renkinjutsu Shitachi. Don’t be surprised if it reminds you of Atelier Iris series, before Gust billed Mana-Khemia with a name it was called project A9 as if it was part of the Atelier series. The battle system in Mana-Khemia looks like it is an adjustment of Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm’s where burst mode returns with flashy special attacks. While Mana-Khemia doesn’t attempt to deviate from the Atelier formula much (cute sprite characters, item synthesis, throwback to 16 bit era of RPGs) the series has enough fans to keep Gust afloat.

 

What about a North American release? NIS America, who has been releasing Gust’s titles has not announced they have picked up Mana-Khemia yet.

    This game is going to be sooooo generic… They didn’t even bother to put any new SFX sounds (all I hear is sounds from Atelier Iris) or update the battle system…

    Yup, gimme all the generic you can cook up, Gust!! That’s why I love these guys. I want to play the kind of games I love and this is it right there. Why does generic have to be a bad thing? My coffee tastes the same after all these years… still a classic.

    That’s because it Is an Atelier game, they’ve just changed the title.
    I really hope they plan to release this one state side, can’t wait. ^_^
