KOEI TECMO GAMES presents the latest title in the Atelier series, Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator.
Developed by KOEI TECMO GAMES · Published by KOEI TECMO GAMES
In Lantarna, where alchemy has faded since the disappearance of a magical comet, Resna sets out for the capital and the World’s End in search of its source. She meets Valeria, an adventurer with lost memories, as the mysterious Polar Night Alchemists cast a shadow over their journeys.
Battles use a command-based timeline: players choose actions for their party and use effects on the Effects Panel to shape their strategy. Skills play out with dynamic visuals.
Alchemy lets players combine traits from characters and materials to create items and equipment. Those creations, along with Growboards that raise character parameters, help develop the party for further adventures.
In this sample, players appreciate the visuals and animation, along with the story and charismatic characters. Some also enjoy crafting and working out party strategies. Reviews are mixed on the alchemy system, with one player finding it too simple, and several express disappointment about the service ending or wish for an offline version; one review says a standalone game remains.
Long ago, the kingdom of Lantarna prospered from the blessings of a white comet that passed overhead. The art of harnessing the comet's blessings was called alchemy, and the practitioners of this art were known as alchemists.
However, when the comet disappeared and its blessings were no longer available, the use of alchemy gradually declined and was eventually forgotten.
Many years have passed, and in a corner of Lantarna two girls have a fateful meeting.
One is Resna, who has found hope in alchemy and is on her way to the Capital, aiming to travel to the World’s End where the source of the miracle is said to lie.
The other is Valeria, a girl who has lost her memories and now lives in the city while doing rough work as an adventurer for the Moonlight Society.
Behind them looms the shadow of the group known as the Polar Night Alchemists, a dark organization shrouded in mystery.
With different motives and ambitions intertwined, the two eventually come closer to the truth that lies dormant on the continent.
