If Arc of Alchemist was a paint colour, it would be magnolia. Simple, clean, effective, it does the job, but it’s not very special or memorable. The game and everything it does is just average at best. It feels like an HD remaster of a Playstation 2 or mobile game, rather than a built from the ground up, current-gen masterpiece. However, it works, it is simple, clean and effective, and with its chibi art style and simplistic game design, it’s maybe something a younger JRPG player or a newcomer to the genre would enjoy.
