    Alchemists fun

    Like any alchemist game from this franchise, this one is just as good. I enjoy the simple town building mechanics. Although I wish the hunting for monsters was a bit more robust in the typical rpg format (open areas, roaming freely, searching for items and mobs.) this story is still very engaging and the characters are all very interesting. I recommend if you are a fan of this series.

    A cute simulation game takes turn base. The game has 100 turns and each turn takes about 30 minutes to make your strategic planning. The building system and battles are both fairly easy. You get to meet all the cute alchemists from the sequel. Since it a fan-based game, you cannot really expect more on this side dish. Unless you are a huge fan to the alchemists series, this game might me a little bit too easy or pale. Still a good game though.

    A game for fans of the Atelier series

    Its basically an Atelier game, but replace the day to day slice of life and crafting gameplay with city management sim gameplay. Its hard to explain how, but despite that drastic change It still retains everything about what makes an atelier game and will feel very familiar to you if you have played the series. It is best if you have played most of the other atelier games first though, as there are guest characters from just about every game in the series.

    More ATELIER game.

    This one has more of a focus on managing the TOWN. This is not like the other ones that have a focus on the ALCHEMY and active combat. This is a strategy game where you need to manage time limits and more much closely as you grow a town.

    Not your typical Atelier game

    This game was more about town building than the previous titles. I am not sure why the radical change but it wasn't as fun as the previous titles. It feels like a port of a phone game. It may be worth it if you can get it on deep discount.

    No one should expect to play this game and have a typical Atelier experience. This is more like an all star fan service for fans of previous Atelier games. With expectations tempered, this game can be recommended.

    Not anything like the rest of the Atelier series, still a great addition for the switch. But wasn't what I was expecting. Art was very beautiful.

    If you have played the Atelier series you must play this. It’s an anniversary celebration that brings back all the favorite characters. It’s fun for newcomers but I would encourage you to play the Atelier series first to get into the world.

    This series has been relatively unknown to me for quite some time. A recommendation by a friend and I find a series that’s enjoyable with great artistic graphics with an engaging story. This series is worth looking at.

    I had pretty low expectations for this game but ended up being completely absorbed for a good 85 hours of playtime. I'm not sure I would pay full price for this but at 30$ the price was just right.
