    Another PS3-to-Vita port of an already noticeable JRPG adventure from GUST. New improvements and innovations are well received.

    Classic Atelier gameplay from the PlayStation 3 version with extra missions, extra bosses and more than 50 hours of pure strategic fun.

    For anyone who wants bang for their buck and a JRPG with unique systems, the Atelier series, with E&L+ being the best, is well worth the price tag.

    Its structured nature and digestible missions make it perfect for playing for short periods on the go, but its deep alchemy mechanics will keep players engrossed for hours when playing at home.

    Escha & Logy actually works as a first point of call for the series. There’s very little assumed knowledge brought over from the first game in the Dusk series (Ayesha), and the systems and mechanics are more user-friendly and accessible.

    It all comes down to this: If you have a Vita, you should be playing the Atelier games, and Escha and Logy is the best of the best.

    Whether you'll think it's worthwhile gameplay, of course, will depend on how much you can tolerate it the first time through to begin with, but if you've stuck with the Atelier series so far, Atelier Escha & Logy Plus will feel like a comfortably familiar.

    JRPG fans can play again this Atelier with all the DLCs and extras that appeared in the PS3 version. An extensive game that you can enjoy twice.

    A decent entry in the venerable Atelier series.

    While Ayesha was a good primer and Shallie was a bit of a disappointment, Atelier Escha & Logy Plus hits that sweet middle spot of giving players everything they could want and surround them with very likeable characters.

    Atelier Escha & Logy is a great blend of alchemy, combat and exploration. The story isn’t very complex but the characters are sweet and charming and you will end up wanting to see all character endings. There’s tons of things to do, items to create and places to explore.

    Atelier Escha and Logy Plus: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky is a solid port of a good game.

    Even with those technical flaws, Atelier Escha & Logy Plus is still an RPG well worth experiencing for those who have not had the chance to check out the original. It’s debatable which of the two versions should be considered the “definitive experience”, so I would simply say that you can’t really go wrong with either.

    For anyone reading who has read the Push-Square review please ignore it. The reviewer does not know what she was talking about. Anyways, firstFor anyone reading who has read the Push-Square review please ignore it. The reviewer does not know what she was talking about. Anyways, first of all get this game. And trust me on this for someone who doesn't play a lot of JRPG, this game drew me in at my surprise! The gameplay, the characters, the story, the music, the graphics and the plot are such a masterpiece! And don't get me started on the combat. The combat is top notch and the animations are beautifully done. This was my first Atelier game and I don't regret picking it up. For newcomers and veterans alike buy this because you will not be disappointed. This game has made me download all the other Atelier games because I just realized I was missing a lot on this amazing game franchise! And oh Escha and Logy have a relationship in this one and it is so cute XD… Full Review »

    The highest rated Atelier game in Japan & they actually deserves it, it's really nice to see that this game are received well overseas too.The highest rated Atelier game in Japan & they actually deserves it, it's really nice to see that this game are received well overseas too.

    The game has a lot of great soundtracks whether it's vocal or instrument and also have one of the best gameplay in the series. If you like some challenge then this game also have a great postgame content with challenging bosses unlike those PS2 Atelier games that are for babies.

    If you like romance story then the interaction between Escha & Logy will surely melts your heart.    … Full Review »

The reason I chose to play this first is because this is the only atelier game than has two protagonist a female and a male. This has a very tedious process of grinding I mean really. But I guess that's what you would expect on a JRPG regardless I was able to platinum the game. Because I always look forward to getting the strongest Item or equips but after seeing the guy making a 1 million plus damage made me think I was not playing the same game with that guy.

    I chose Logy's story first of course and it was somewhat good nothing bad nothing great the only part of the story that I like are shipping the two protagonist. it was the only reason on playing the new game plus so I can get the other ending.

    After seeing the other atelier games that came after this I wouldn't hope for another game with a female and male protagonist. But I am currently trying Rorona right now because other than shiopping the two protagonist I did like the part when I got the strongest equips and items. Thank you GameFaq because of you I enjoyed the game. thank you also to the people who contributed on the guides.

    All in all I I liked the game it's just tedious but very satisfying after that.    … Full Review »
