There's some "Boss" battles but they have no real relevance outside of like 3 boss battles Dimensional paths are alright but exploring them really has no relevance other than item colleciton QoL is especially egregious. You would think this is the first Atelier game and not the 20th or something like that. Even the attention to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This gives me hope that someday they might also port the Atelier Resleriana mobile game to console. Since the PS5 game with the same name is different from the previous title. 🐈⬛ But right now, I'm really excited that Blue Reflection Ray and Sun are finally available to play. 💜

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll play more eventually, but what this game wanted to be, a game for the older fans of the Atelier Series (notably pre Ryza), it fails at. I really wanted to give the series one more shot, but I'm struggling to motivate myself booting up the game. First things first: It's looking awful. In particular animations in cutscenes and the likes are absolutely terrible. I don't know what happened. You can check a random Atelier Lulua cutscene and see character move in fairly natural ways and the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely stellar. This game feels like a love letter to Atelier fans. It is a return to the Atelier series' traditional form while having a chock-full of QoL features. I haven't finished the game yet, but I can already tell I'm going to love Rias and the rest of the cast. If Sophie 2 didn't exist, this game would've definitely taken the top spot for the best JRPGs I've ever played. The RPG mechanics in this game span from synthesis to town management and bond quests. There's a lot to do in…

unlabelledView post →It all comes down to Storytelling Firstly, mechanics are fine, the battles can get a little samey and the crafting a little finnicky, but on the whole they hold up well enough. Aesthetically solid in terms of fidelity and art direction, music is unremarkable but inoffensive, the bulk of combat zones being procedurally generated rather than handcrafted leaves them feeling shallow and samey, with the small handful of handcrafted maps feeling precious by comparison. Developing the town is…

It is cool to see characters of past Atelier games. Only the characters in the main cast got a bit more story though. Wished there were more characters to play with. Characterwise Totori lost a bit of her bite, which I liked. Graphics (8/10) Draw Distance is not so far even on higher settings. Colors are vibrant. I like the battle…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A much needed return to form for the older fan. Rias is a great addition to the Atelier cast, and it is good to see a lot a familiar faces. Synthesis is a fairly simple blend of Ayesha and the Mysterious games. Hoping we get a proper Resna game in this style

unlabelledView post →If you're a fan of Atelier games, you'll like this one. If you're not, this one won't do anything to garner your interest in the series. That being said it IS a step in the right direction from what Atelier Yumia was. Atelier games have always been about two things. Cute Girls Doing Cute Things, and a deep, indepth alchemy system that starts simple and gradually gets more complex as you unlock more functionality, get access to more items/recipes and progress further into the game. This has a…

unlabelledView post →tl;dr it's a fantastic game and everything I wanted from a Resleriana spin-off, especially after the disappointment that was Yumia. Atelier Resleriana: etc.. is a spinoff from the Resleriana Gacha. If you did not play that, my biggest gripe was that it was a gacha because everything about it was fantastic. The highest quality, most soulful gacha game I had ever played. The fact it could one day EOS (and it did) made me mad, knowing that this soulful experience made with love would one day die.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The most slept on Atelier game...? Where is the hype? I chose this over Yumia, and I was not disappointed. Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian is exactly where I'd hoped the series would go after Ryza. This game oozes coziness. It has a soft, charming art style, gameplay that is familiar yet still engaging, and, yes, the throwbacks to older characters in the series are a definite fanservice plus. I have /approximate/ knowledge of most prior Atelier games and only really played…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm a bit mixed with this one. Ultimately, I really enjoyed my time with this game. There are a few things that hold it back from being amazing, though. I reeeeeally think that taking place in the same universe as the Atelier Resleriana gacha holds it a back quite a bit. I say this because half of the main characters do not have meaningful story arcs or very interesting character moments because they are characters brought over from their own universe, where those have already happened…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →最後まで飽きずに没頭できる、シンプルで奥深い錬金システム 本作をプレイし終えて最初に浮かんだ言葉は、「とにかく面白かった」でした。錬金システムはソシャゲをベースとしていながら、そこにコンシューマ作品としての緻密さと丁寧さが加えられ、アトリエらしい深い錬金システムが見事に実現されています。 素材ごとに付与された「カラー」を組み合わせて特性を発現させるという基礎システムは健在で、その上でコンシューマ版ならではの要素として、素材カテゴリやカラーを切り替えならアイテムレベルを上げたり、狙った特性を付与していく流れが非常に魅力的です。調合するアイテムごとに適した特性を付与する過程に思わず没頭してしまい、「あと一手で理想のアイテムが完成する...!」という瞬間の緊張感と完成した時の快感が堪りません。ベースシステムの手軽さを保ちながらも、そこに職人の手仕事のような”作り込む快感”を両立させた設計には感嘆しました。 ガイストコアを活用したアイテムリビルドの拡張性…

I think if you like fun combat systems with strong customization you'll like this game a lot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8csf...
unlabelledView post →While of course I'm not a fan of its typical gacha game trappings, I really enjoyed how the Atelier Resleriana mobile game handled its timeline turn-based battle system. Crossing my fingers that the new console game set in Atelier Resleriana's world has an even better version of it.
unlabelledView post →If you love Atelier games you will like this. Its origin on Switch is clearly apparent, it's pretty average looking. The people in the towns just stand around, no animation so it feels like a ghost town. The characters are twee and a bit naff, proc gen dungeons make me a bit sad to be honest. The dialog is pretty much replaceable by predictable 'uplifting positive' ChatGPT dialog. None of the characters really have any edge to their character except maybe El. One thing that didn't feel…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Barely a recommend. A solid 6/10. Perhaps on a sale. Overall, I barely like it more than Yumia, since it actually feels like an Atelier game. But I can also tell that Yumia got all the budget and attention. This game feels like an afterthought. The story is decent, but very much a standard Atelier story. Searching through ruins of ancient civilization, uncovering the past, etc. Few new characters with 90% of characters being from past games. I think quite literally, every past alchemist is in…

unlabelledView post →A really cool combat and crafting system is buried under some of the worst, most generic voice acting and writing. If you're under 15, or are fine skipping all dialogue, pick it up. Otherwise, wait until it's 80% off.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's worth the purchase, full stop. Loved it from start to finish, and now I'm doing NG+ on Legendary. Notes for Atelier series fans looking for a more specific review: It was really fun, but the amount of optional conversations with all the characters from past games really wore me out by the end. They're pretty much all the same in structure. "Oh, we have something in common, so we're talking about it." By the end of the game you're like "I already know you two have something in common. I…

unlabelledView post →You know what's the most disappointing thing about modern Atelier? It is not that the series started heading into the wrong direction by focusing on more serious stories, simplifying alchemy so it doesn't feel like a puzzle and adding open world. It is that we got a top 3 Atelier game and it will probably be the last good Atelier based on its sales and Steam activity. Resleriana has the best RPG combat I have ever played. While the game is easy on Very Hard as usual, the mechanics keep it fun…

unlabelledView post →While I didn't like where the series was going with Ryza, Yumia, or even the first Resleriana, I still had some hope for this game simply because Sophie 2 was still among the best in the series. The fact the story was a sequel to a gacha game that isn't even available globally anymore wasn't much of a factor, as Atelier stories tend to be disappointing at best; even the general cheapness and lack of attention to detail could ultimately be forgiven, as these games ride or die on their robust…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the second Atelier game I've played after Yumia and I enjoyed it a lot! Gameplay is smooth, it just feels right whether in combat, exploration, or alchemy. The graphics, especially character models and animations, are great. Rias and Slade were excellent as dual protagonists, and the story unfolds well focusing on their relationship, with a nice twist or two and a satisfying payoff in the end. If you're wondering if Rias and Slade's relationship is romantic, it is, and that's a good…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finished this game a few hours ago, and I have to say, it was a great game. I was a little worried with it being the sequel to the gacha game, especially after what a slog Yumia became towards the end, but I had a lot of fun. The alchemy's not as complex as some of the titles, but it's still pretty good. I liked the characters, but most of them were characters from other Atelier games (which shouldn't be a surprise if you're at all familiar with the gacha game). The story was also pretty…

unlabelledView post →I don't like this game that much but it is like a 6 or 7/10 game after two 4/10s in a row for the series so it's going in the right direction I guess. Since I've been told I'm an "Influencerer" I feel it's my moral duty to ensure this game maintains a higher review score than Ryza 3 or Yumia in hopes that Gust can figure out how to stop death spiraling their main franchise. Anyways the shop system in this game would be a lot better with a time management system attached but I guess when they…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why are the games called Atelier Resleriana? There are two reasons: - In-game reason: it's an in-universe term which means "an illuminated place of gathering" that Resna chose for her Atelier in the mobile game - meta reason: it's a portmanteau of the portagonists' names, Res(na)(Va)leria(Alvi)na
unlabelledView post →Atelier Resleriana is getting positive reviews from RPG players, especially for its combat back to turn-based. I was kinda mixed on Atelier Yumia's combat (and the game overall) so I'm interested to play a more classic Atelier like this.
