    Not a real rpg. That's my first thought.

    the mechanics and game in general are... weird. Explains nothing and brings nothing new. An uninteresting game in a trilogy I'd prefer to think never existed.

    All 3 games are from worse to bad. This being bad. Not acceptable to have to pay top price for a low end BAD game that can brick your console.

    AVOID. 0/10 score.

    Still pretty niche as far as JRPGs go, but well presented and packed with multiple paths and replayability. [May 2015, p80]

    Fans of the series, as well as newcomers looking for a different style of JRPG owe it to themselves to try Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea.

    Some minor flaws aside, Atelier Shallie doesn't break the mold and is an excellent ending to the Dusk trilogy. While the presentation lacks a little polish, it has the most refined and enjoyable version of the core franchise mechanics to date.
