Pleasant music accentuates Atelier Rorona's addictive alchemy system, but exploration and combat feel overlooked. A harsh time limit overshadows everything, preventing you from playing how you want because you're constantly stifled by the clock. Though Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland is a charming adventure, its stark simplicity and annoying deadlines narrow its appeal.
Lyam writes: - Atelier Arland Trilogy DX is another collection release, but this time, on PlayStation 4. The games with it are Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland, Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland, and Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland, which have all appeared on PlayStation 3, as well as the PlayStation Vita. It’s quite an ongoing franchise with Atelier Rorona is the 11th game in the series and there are more plenty more to come.
It's probably my favourite 3 (well didn't like meruru much) But the price is trash. Should have been normal retail price for all 3 imo.
I haven't played the Atelier series for quite a while now. Last game I finished was Iris 3, although I didn't really liked it. I love the first one, Eternal Mana. I think I finished Atelier Iris 1 at least three times. I bought Atelier Sophie and played less than 10 hours before I dropped it. Would love to see another game with the Iris level of story telling.
Things get exciting on this episode of This Week in Gaming! From John Carmack joining the team working on the Oculus Rift, to new gameplay footage of The Legend Of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Also, tons of weird Japanese games. I hope you brought napkins because things are about to get saucy!
Cripes, I keep seeing this guy posting his videos.
And they're awful. Please stop.
I don't mind that you're a prepubescent. I do mind the constant mumbling and inability to properly pronounce every other word.
There won’t be an Atelier Rorona Plus, but that doesn’t mean gamers won’t be seeing more of Rorona in the future.
Well that's a shame. Gotta grab Totori Plus soon, though, to get the bonus stuff.
Wait, I don't even really care about that stuff. Still want it, though.
