Mana Khemia: Student Alliance is an upcoming role playing game from Gust and NIS America. Players will use alchemy to create items, weapons and upgrade their characters. There will be over 150 ways to customize your character’s growth and you’ll be using alchemy to do so as opposed to the traditional leveling up system of most RPGs. Players will also be able to craft items and weapons with alchemy from over 400 items found in the game.

Mana Khemia takes place at an alchemy academy and the twist with the game is that you have to finish your assignments to get free time. The faster you pass your assignments, the more free time you will earn. Your classmates in the game will need help with their assignments so players will need to help them out as well. The story will change depending on whom you help out in the game.

Mana Khemia will feature two-player co-op and players will have to work together tag-team style in battles. There’s over 100 hours worth of gameplay and this whole package will cost you $29.99 when it’s released January 20 for the PSP. Check out the trailer and gallery above and let us know what you think of game. And yes, this is the most generic post I've ever written.
