Game description: Mana Khemia is the 5th entry in the Alchemy RPG series that began with Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana. The game is quest based, classic style RPG where players adventure on to various missions to complete the game. However, unlike the ordinary classic style RPG, alchemy is the main focus of the game. Meaning players will discover and create items, weapons and even character stats through the use of alchemy.

Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis is the prequel to Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy

Test configurations on Windows:

Environment			Configurations			Comments	Tester
Region	OS	CPU/GPU	Revision	Graphics	Sound/Pad	Comments	Tester
NTSC-u	?	AMD Athlon II X2 245 OC @ 3.55 GHz NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT	0.9.7 3113 beta	GSdx r3063	SPU2-X r3117 1.4.0 LilyPad r2930 0.1.0	This is a 2D game, so it does not require a high end pc to run. If you can run the game at full speed with or without speed hacks, and your pc is slower than this, please change the pc specs in this section.	CKL
NTSC-u	Windows 10	Intel Core i5-4690K @ 4.40 GHz AMD Radeon HD 7870	1.4.0	GSdx 20160105 1.0.0	SPU2-X 2.0.0 LilyPad 0.11.0	Probably a very easy game for this hardware to run; graphics and sound run smoothly. Use settings below to clean up minor issues. One could run the full game with the Software renderer to avoid the movie/cutscene problems, but Hardware mode looks sharper.	tradesofjack
