Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk DX

Great Game.

A14, Atelier Ayesha. Highlight for me is finding out, more than 15 hours into normal mode playthrough, that one of the last Steam achievements is "Rescue Nio (hard mode)". Leaving that to future me (probably). Synthesis of this game is a bit more difficult than Atelier Rorona or Atelier Ryza in the fact that you can't freely choose to put transferrable property in. It was only at Synthesis level 45 that you get the ability to remove unwanted properties. Only then should customization & ultimate gear be crafted.

Prós: - Elenco cativante. - Sistema de alquimia divertido e recompensador. - História que equilibra momentos leves e bem-humorados com passagens melancólicas. - Um jogo extremamente relaxante. Contras: - O pós-jogo é confuso. - O sistema de desbloqueio das histórias dos personagens também é pouco claro. - O sistema de alquimia pode ser pouco intuitivo para iniciantes. No geral, uma experiência muito agradável para quem procura um JRPG mais tranquilo, focado em exploração, personagens e alquimia.

Not a bad jrpg! Has a time limit but there is enough time for everything

Not necessarily for everyone, but I liked it.

Thoroughly enjoyable game. This is my second Atelier game. I first played Sophie (first time years ago), but it didn't click, but I thought I'd give it a second shot and this was great. I had a great time with it. There's some obtuse elements, but I did work them out. Gathering and crafting is both enjoyable. This one has an actual serious story driving the plot forward you're not just mucking about for the sake of it. My one complaint about this is the game has two bosses. The final boss ironically is less of a big deal, but the first boss is both an extreme difficulty spike & basically RNG: the bossfight. It took me a lot of attempts - as well as having to go out and specifically grind out like 10 extra levels to - to be able to manage it. And that sucked. Otherwise great game.
