Alcahest is an action role-playing game with a top-down perspective that plays similar to The Legend of Zelda. It is divided into 8 stages that are progressed by finding items that aid the protagonist Alen on his quest, and end with a boss battle. After specific boss fights, the player will gain the abilities of one of the four elemental Guardians. Alen will also find five allies that will join him at predetermined points of some levels. They are the young wizard Garstein, the princess Elikshil, the knight Sirius, the android Magna and the shape-shifter dragon goddess Nevis. Though they cannot be controlled directly, allies will attack and use special moves when the corresponding button is pressed.
Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA
Alcahest is an arcade-style game played from a top-down perspective similar to titles like Gauntlet (1985), The Legend of Zelda, Dungeon Explorer, and Soul Blazer. The book A Guide to Japanese Role-Playing Games describes it as an action game in role-playing (RPG) clothing. The plot takes place in a world where an emperor leads his army towards conquest of the kingdom of Panakeia in the midst of the revival of the demon god Alcahest, who was previously defeated a thousand years ago by a swordsman aided with the power of guardians. Babilom, an envoy from hell, seeks to prevent the swordsman's reincarnation before reaching his full potential. The player acts as the swordsman Alen across eight stages filled with a variety of blocks that propel him forward or send him leaping to another area, exploring and searching for items and power-ups, while fighting enemies and bosses. During the journey to stop Alcahest, the player encounters allies who join Alen's party one at a time. They are the wizard Garstein, the princess Elikshil, the knight Sirius, the cyborg Magna, and the shape-shifting dragon goddess Nevis. Allies attack and use special powers, but they cannot be controlled directly and special points (SP) are required for their special move. The player attacks enemies using a blade given to Alen by the guardians. Alen can also perform dash attacks while running and block enemy projectiles by standing still with his shield. After fights against specific bosses, the player gains the abilities of one of the four guardians based on the classical elements. Alen can charge his blade for a special attack, which differs depending on the elemental ability selected. Magic points (MP) are used to summon guardians in battle and the player can switch between each one. Alen gains experience points (EXP) by defeating enemies and the player earns an additional continue after obtaining pre-determined scores to keep playing. The game is over once Alen's vitality is depleted, but the player can resume their progress via passwords given at the start of each stage.
