The Alchemist Code

The Alchemist Code is a tactical role-playing game that follows seven characters and themed around the seven deadly sins. It takes place on the continent of Babel, where the imposing Tower of Babel stands over seven nations.

The game involves turn-based combat on a grid-based battlefield where units take turns based on speed stats. It also has features such as attacks from the side or rear dealing increased damage, terrain height impacts attack power, defense, and critical hit chances, and friendly fire is also possible. The game can be played in a singleplayer or multiplayer including a player vs player (PVP) system.

However, in the Continental Year 911, the nation of Lustrice defied this pact, amassing an alchemy-powered army in a bid for dominance. In retaliation, the other six nations, led by Envylia, united to crush Lustrice and banish alchemy once more. Yet, two decades later, alchemy stirs once again, threatening to plunge the land into turmoil.
