Kamidori Alchemy Meister

50+ hour strategy RPG featuring a complex alchemy system reminiscent of the Atelier series, base/shop building, and likable characters. I'd rate this higher if it weren't for the fanservice and the completely unnecessary hentai scenes later in the game.

A surprisingly good game. I came upon it through SsethTzeentach's review who said he came in for the hentai, but stayed for the gameplay - and the gameplay is indeed great. It's a fairly complex (for a jrpg) game with multiple classes of characters, several different development routes for each + huge opportunities for varied gameplay, also due to its alchemy system. I abandoned it after 20+ hours - right after the first hentai scene - as it takes too much time. /2022
