    This 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.… Expand

    Its better then the last 2 Atelier Games but still incredible predictable story wise. Graphics are also still very dated

    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!    … Expand

    With developer Gust's unexpended expansion to their most favoured sub-series, comes what can be considered the best in the Atelier set to date. Casting away previous conventions to introduce new, more enriching characters, and world-building structures, Atelier Lulua's challenge spikes and lack of English dub does little to take the shine off the gem beneath.

    Not only it's the best chapter for anyone to get into the Atelier series, it also features what is probably the best alchemy and combat systems. A major step forward in the series which is more than worthy of the players' time and dedication.

    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.
