At the Al Revis Academy for Alchemy, a young student named Vayne Aurelius begins his journey. As he completes tasks and quests set by his professor, the story unfolds based on the player's choices. Failing to complete these tasks results in staying behind and changing the storyline, adding a layer of depth to the narrative.
Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis builds upon RPG elements with new features such as a 'crafting' system. Instead of level-ups through combat, players can choose how their character develops by modifying attributes. Crafting items and weapons using scattered objects in the world also becomes an option.
A notable change is the absence of random engagements. In this game, players have control over who or what to fight, allowing for a more strategic approach. The ability to see opponents' symbols on the board enhances decision-making.
The Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis PSP version adds multiplayer battles, additional synthesized items, and an option to reduce loading times.

Story
Story
Who are you? My name? ...It's Sulpher. Sulpher... Are you all alone, too? ...Yes, just like you. I see... Can I stay with you? ...Sure. That's not a bad idea. Thank you. Um, I'm... Vayne. That's what he called you. Vayne...is my name...
Deep in a quiet forest stood a house where a boy and a black cat, known as a Mana, lived. The boy had no relatives. The cat was his only friend, and the closest thing to family he had. The two had lived quietly together.
But their quiet life ended with a sudden visit from an outsider. "Oh, I finally found you. Can we talk for a minute?" The man who came said he was a teacher at Al-Revis Academy, a school that taught alchemy. That was the beginning of his new life at Al-Revis. ...And his introduction to Alchemy.
