Alcahest (Fan Translation)

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. A notable point is that the game using password rather than saves. The protagonist, Alen, have to fight to get the four elemental guardians in order to put an end to the reign of terror of Alcahest, the supreme demon.

With that he will have the help of allies in this exciting mission: 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.

An obscure but very original game. Sorry for a few mistakes in translation between one stage and another (in black screen with sword). This game was released only in Japan.
