Alcahest

Alcahest is a top-down action RPG structured around eight stages. You guide Alen through each area by locating items that unlock progression, with boss fights capping every stage. Defeating certain bosses grants you control over one of four elemental Guardians. Five allies—wizard Garstein, princess Elikshil, knight Sirius, android Magna, and dragon goddess Nevis—join at fixed points during levels. You can't move them directly, but pressing a button triggers their attacks and special abilities. The game focuses on item-driven exploration and timing ally actions during combat. If you like structured progression with companions who act semi-autonomously rather than following orders, this delivers that setup across its eight-stage campaign.
