Description
Alchemist is a real-time strategy game in which you take control over one of five different races and lead your people, tens of thousands years after the first overwar, a catastrophic event which lead to Earth's complete ecological shutdown.
Just as mankind was on the verge of becoming extinct, a natural resource called Mana was found to be regenerating on Earth, which lead to the restarting of the ecological systems. During these times, new lifeforms began to evolve and mankind spent time to explore their forgotten past. These explorers became known as Alchemists who gained power much different from each other, the different sects were called Realms. This eventually lead to another overwar. With only five surviving Realms, you must decide who shall be the last reigning Realm on the planet Earth.
