Despite this, the game is always fun because the alchemy system is very well implemented, the characters are very nice and the combat system is good.

The third year cranks up the difficulty once more, and you need to make full use out of your tools.

The art style for the game was pleasant enough to excuse any age, but I can imagine this opinion changing when playing later entries.
