The seemingly hilarious verbal complaints of "No one has ever asked about alchemy for ten years, but the world knows the leg of the world" tells the situation of niche games since the first work of the "Alchemy Worker" series was released in 1997. However, with the blessing of Lesa's plump legs, "Lesa's Alchemist House" released in 2019 set a historical record of 150,000 copies in 2 days in Japan and successfully attracted the attention of many new players.

The latest work in the series "Lesa's Alchemist 3 - The End of Alchemist and the Secret Key" will be released on March 24. I would like to thank Glory Tecmo for his invitation, so that the author can experience the entire content of "Lesa 3" in advance. If you are interested in this game, you might as well take a look at this review.

>>>The first thing that caught my eye was still the iconic "meat legs".

As the final work of the "Lesa" series, "Lesa 3" sets the plot one year after the end of the second part. At that time, Lesa, who had already broken through the alchemy bottleneck, was running between helping villagers solve problems and practicing her own alchemy skills. She was not the girl who just wanted to escape before. Of course, it was not only Lesa's mind, but also the picture quality of the game.

This movie can clearly feel the improvement in light and shadow effects and picture details. Compared with "Lesa 2" which seems to have sunscreen applied to each character, the role of "Lesa 3" has a more natural look. At the same time, the game still uses the previous generation in terms of operation habits. If you are a player who has been exposed to previous works, you can get started seamlessly without any discomfort.

However, the drilling system that players talk about was ruthlessly "weakened" by the designer in "Lesa 3". In the past, it took a long time to climb, but now it only needs a sliding shovel to pass. It can be said that some people are happy and some are worried.

>>>Familiar combat system and optimized UI

Since it is a series of works, the teaching of novice in "Lesa 3" is very simple and rough, and it is a battle teaching as soon as it starts. This game follows the second generation's combat method and adopts a half-turn-based real-time combat method. Players need to wait until the WT (WaitTime) slot is full before attacking, escaping and other actions.

Different to other RPGs that require magic value to cast spells, in "Lesa 3", team members release spells will consume the value of the public AP pool. If AP value is increased, members will require general attacks or perfect defense against enemy attacks. During the battle, players continuously release skills can improve the team's tactical level (T.Lv), thereby increasing the number of consecutive attacks of ordinary attacks and strengthening some skills. Therefore, in the early stage of the game, players only need to master the normal attack and use their skills to knock the enemy into scum.

Wait until more members join the squad,After unlocking the alchemy props and key system, entering the battle stage will become another rhythm. At the beginning, players can choose to switch the front and back member controls to first deal a wave of damage, and then use the skills of corresponding attributes according to the requirements of the teammates to trigger a continuous attack. At the same time, using the CC value accumulated from the skills, you can also use alchemy props to restore the teammate's health or cause a lot of damage. The key system can give the character a powerful effect, not only can it accumulate AP values in a short period of time, but it can also refresh the action time, which is to refresh the ball soul "Lesa 3".

However, compared to the second generation that puts AP, CC, T.Lv and health values in the lower left corner, "Lesa 3" chooses to put it on the right. The previous four-grid skill selection method has also become a more designed diamond skill bar, making the overall interface more concise and intuitive. But the enemy's direction is still very chaotic, and sometimes the sudden feeling of humiliation of being stabbed by monsters is still not very pleasant.

>>>The alchemy system takes great care of new players

As the pillar of the series, the alchemy system was modified drastically in "Lesha 2", abandoning the alchemy level and turning it into a skill tree design, which made many players who first tried the "Alchemy Workshop" series easier to get started, and in "Lesha 3", the alchemy system will be strengthened on this basis, making the experience more mature.

Newly added new elements such as keys and call to connect also allow players to reconcile diverse props more easily. If you are first exposed to the "Alchemy Workshop" series of games, you only need to put the materials with your favorite effects into the blending bar to create corresponding alchemy props. The attribute of "Super Features" that can inherit stronger characteristics from the materials not only reduces the difficulty of blending specific props, but also attracts the attention of more new players. It can be said that it is the best of both worlds. Of course, players who find it troublesome. You can also choose to fill with one click to save yourself time

>>>The "end" that revolves around the whole story

"Lesa 3" is the final work of "Lesa's Alchemy Workshop", puts the stage at the original starting point of the game - Keuken Island. As new islands emerged at sea levels, there were continuous earthquakes on Keuken Island. At the same time, Lesa often heard sounds that others could not hear. To solve the problem of earthquakes and unknown sounds, Lesa and her partners embark on a new adventure.

Familiar scenes, familiar characters and familiar plump thighs, "Lesa 3" tries to pull players into that young memory through flashbacks of clips, character missions, plot dialogues and reshape classic scenes. In this constantly experiencing past, it carries the time called "Once Upon a Time" interwoven by the production team and the players. The maps and characters of the first and second generations have all returned, and through the careful design of the screenwriter, they will explain the various foreshadowings that have been laid one by one.answer. Although we cannot tell you the plot of the game in detail here, the last journey of growing up to adults will surely satisfy all players.

>>> There are also some complaints about the game

In the last journey, players need to take their final adventures in 4 wide and majestic maps. However, there is no need to worry that it is boring to rush. The game has thoughtfully prepared a large amount of alchemy materials for players, which can completely cure the habit of the hamster party that must take away all the items that can be picked up on the map. At the same time, the existence of a large number of map teleportation points allows players to freely explore the map and click wherever they want, but the premise is to unlock it first.

If you are a player who is in contact with "Leisha's Alchemist House" for the first time, you should pay attention to whether the team members' health is healthy while exploring the map. Since the character upgrade will not restore health, and there is no roadside campfire like "Alien Sword" on the map for players to rest (but the cooking system will be unlocked later), once the player is careless, it is very likely that the team will be destroyed in constant combat and return to the secret base. Of course, the cutscene of Lesa's defeat is quite good, and it is also an option if she is willing to lose some of the backpack material.

It is also worth complaining about the game's exit mechanism. In the past, RPGs would provide the option to leave the game in the main menu, while in "Lesa 3", players need to choose to exit the game in the diary system, or press the ESC on the keyboard to call out the exit interface. It may be a bit difficult to exit the game with a handle alone.

>>>Conclusion

In the past 4 years that players and Lesa have been silently walking, everyone has changed to varying degrees. Lesa's journey will come to an end this year, while players will continue on the journey with their once wonderful memories. If everyone in front of the screen is an old fan of the first and second generation of "Lesa", perhaps "Lesa 3" will become a work that you will never miss in 2023.
