Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Bought DLC before the DX version came out and now it's all gone. When I click on the DLC it just takes me to the main steam page4 found this helpful
Its a cute game, but the graphics feel dated.
A good introduction to the Atelier series. If you're new to the series in general, the synthesis mechanic and the timeline combat system may feel clunky and will require a bit of time to get used to them, especially considering that the the tutorials aren't really helpful. You figure it out as you go. Generally I hate crafting mechanics in games, but Atelier Ryza is the exception, and for good reason. The strong point of the first instalment of the series it's the youthful and carefree athmosphere, fitting for what begins as a summertime adventure of a group of teens. It's not groundbreaking but sometimes a good game is good enough.
ついに錬金術師になった また会おう Just finished this right before the steam summer sale and I'm really hoping the next two games are on sale. Gotta say, playing through this game in JP was a really fun experience. In regards to the actual game, the story and characters are charming and the mix between turn-based and real time combat was more enjoyable than I thought it would be. My favorite part was definitely the alchemy though. Finding new materials, creating new gear, and powering up was really satisfying. Pretty solid recommendation from me.
Please please please offer a dx upgrade for current owners.
starts off a bit janky, but becomes really addictive. Probably the first game I've felt like 100%'ing in a while.
