    Atelier Lulua ~The Scion of Arland~ keeps the same basic combat system that old-school JRPG fans may enjoy, but adds a welcoming twist to how you progress through the campaign. It is one of the best titles from the series available on Switch, and works well as a stand-alone title.

    The newest episode of the RPG saga delivers solid entertainment with its dynamic turn based battles and the alchemy experiments the franchise is known for.

Unfortunately however i am quiteThis game so far is quite wonderful, the art, music, alchemy systems and combat give quite the experience. Unfortunately however i am quite disappointed at the lack of an English track for the voices. as someone who always plays the English tack in every version of this generally great series of games i am quite sad especially when older characters in it make an appearance with essentially a different voice than when first experienced. I don't know it kind of kills the vibe a tad for me. In any case the JP voices are not bad and i will most likely finish the game i have to dock a point or two off, and in the future i will only purchase an entry that has the English track as sad as it makes me.

    Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland est le digne héritier d’une longue lignée de JRPG développé par Gust depuis plus de 20 ans.

    Quatrième jeu de la série Arland, Atelier Lulua vous permettra de retourner en terrain connu, plusieurs années plus tard, et de retrouver certains personnages parmis les préférés des fans de la saga.

    Que ce soit dans l’alchimie et la synthèse, mais aussi dans son système de combat au tour par tour, Atelier Lulua fait dans le classicisme, mais avec talent. Les développeurs se reposent un petit peu sur leurs acquis mais en fin de compte c’est sans doute ce qui plaît à la communauté.

    Un jeu solide, généreux, mignon, qui fait honneur à la saga. Le portage Switch est parfaitement réalisé, notamment en mode console portable.

    Une valeur sûre du JRPG sur Switch!
