About The Game

In a dark time, an epic adventure dawns...

Evil is slowly covering the world. Forces of darkness are pursuing the lost art of Alchemy, and as they draw even closer to their final purpose, mankind hangs in the balance. You and your companions are the last hope: armed with noble weapons, magical Psynergy, and a host of elemental creatures, you must find a way to stem the evil tide.

Game Features:

  • An enormous RPG shines on the Game Boy Advance! With incredible graphics, an engrossing story line, and a huge world to explore, you'll be playing long after the sun sets.
  • Unbelievable magic! Gather the four types of elemental creatures-fire, water, wind, and earth-and combine them in different ways for some of the most awe-inspiring magical spells ever seen.
  • Go head-to-head with a friend! Link up with a Game Boy Advance Game Link cable (sold separately) and square off your parties in a no-holds-barred battle!

Can you save mankind and restore peace to the land?
