Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator

Atelier Resleriana is a solid game through and through and proves itself to be more than one of the cynical cash grabs that we’ve seen time and time again. It has the heart and charm of the series and serves as a love letter to longtime fans. The biggest problem with Atelier Resleriana being a gacha game, however, is that it will ultimately go end of service one day and become permanently inaccessible. Such is the nature of live service games, yet it feels counter to Gust’s recent efforts to remake and localize previous games. However, there is hope that all the effort in creating new 3D models for such a wide array of characters is an indication that fully-fledged remakes may be around the corner. While Atelier Resleriana isn’t exactly what I wanted out of the next mainline Atelier title, it serves as a celebration of all things Atelier and the best crossover game in the series by a country mile.
