Dear All,
It has been a long time since I last my post. Now it's 2021. Hopefully this year, things will become much better. As usual, I would like to review one of the best otome games that I play. It is Royal Alchemist. Basically this is not only your usual otome games because it also involve stat raising to achieve the best ending. Otherwise, you will be dead a lot. Luckily, the more you dead, the stronger you are or your stats exactly.
This game tell a story about royal intrique. There's assassination, conspiracy, and intrique in the palace. You are member of High Council (Mage and Alchemist independent organization) and also the scion of well known Rosenkrauz clan. You were tasked with assignment to tutor the 3 royal princes in Eskia. In this game, you can play as man or woman. I really love the choice since I prefer my MC as male. In a sense, this is also a BL game. Fortunately, it's not big deal in the story for male to male dating. So it feels less awkward.
The story itself is very good. I really like it, especially the mystery. The choice in the story influence the moods. So, it's a good thing. There are 3 dating characters that we can choose with 8 endings. There are romantic endings and friendship endings. It's a plus for people who doesn't like romance. The characters are likable. I really like MC personality especially in the ending. Unfortunately some supporting characters lack personality. The music itself is quite average and there's also no voice acting (understandable to save the budget). Still there's some songs I really like and I commend developer to choose those amazing songs. The visuals are amazing. Really love it. The stat raising part is interesting. It is not too difficult to make people frustrated (maybe because I choose the easy mode). But quite challenging for perfectionist players. Since I really love this game, I play it all day and sacrifice my weekend. And the end result....it's worth it.
Overally, I really like this game. I hope the developers will make another great game like this one. I recommend this game for otome lovers and visual novel lovers.
