Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian is a title that has generated considerable confusion. It promises us a return to ‘classic Atelier’ after Atelier Yumia changed up the formula quite a bit, and it follows Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy & The Polar Night Liberator, which was a gacha game that was only available […]
In Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian, you’ll find lots of points of light with a blue, red, green, and gold glow. These are places where you can perform Wire Actions as Rias. They’re not quite a zipline, but these will let you swing across a gap or pull yourself up to […]
Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land takes the long-running Atelier series in a new direction.

Having thoroughly enjoyed the previous titles, along with several other Atelier games from developer GUST, I couldn’t give this one a miss. Ryza’s Final Summer Adventure The third title in the Atelier Ryza trilogy opens with […]
Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist & The Mysterious Dream feels like it slipped under the radar in comparison to the Atelier Ryza titles. One of our team once mentioned it as a candidate for GOTY and scored it very well in his review of this JRPG, so between that and my own love of the Atelier series, I knew I had to […]
