Atelier Escha & Logy Plus: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky Review
Everyone knows a Plus version means a game is better, right? Right? Gust loves its Pluses and this time it’s decided that it’s Escha and Logy’s turn to be transformed… into pirates. Yar.

Lotte and Stera want you to know that jumping jacks, barrels, and broom sticks are a vital source of entertainment. Oh and, I guess water conservation is too, right guys? Guys…?
Ayesha has finally made her way to the small screen. But has Tecmo Koei done enough to make the Atelier series feel right at home on the PlayStation Vita? Check out our review.
When building upon a good idea, it’s always necessary to know one’s limits. How much is too much of a good thing, after all? Sure, the results could be awesome, but they could just as easily be gilding the lily.
When something is a Plus, it’s not a port, a remake, or a remaster. It’s an older game synthesized with materials like more playable characters, new assignments, and the always useful magic points. Gust’s goal was to craft something more fun than the original, but there’s always the risk of creating a Broken Item.
The Atelier series is as long and varied as any big name lineage of games can be. With so many titles over so many years, it’s always interesting to see how things have changed. Alchemy is an ever-changing discipline, and the mix of ingredients is never the same twice, after all.

The first few drafts of this review did not meet the alchemist’s exacting standards, and were sacrificed in the name of “quality control.” After much fiddling with the recipe proportions, she’s completely satisfied. Hopefully the delay won’t affect her payment.
For the first month’s installment in Gaijin’s “Year of Gust,” we turn to the origins of the company’s flagship series. The atelier’s open, and it’s time we got to know Marie a little better.
Atelier Meruru is back with class on the PlayStation Vita. But is this adventure worth the re-release on portables?
Sometimes taking a magnificent journey may lead us to the promised land. “A promise is a promise,” and Ayesha shows RPGamers the true value of keeping them.
Poor Sterkenberg. Even after three Atelier games, the poor man is completely out of place in the land of hyperactive pink-haired genki girls. Is Atelier Meruru the most excellent adventure of the Arland trilogy, or is it just Sterk’s bogus journey?
In my dreams, I see myself mixing some potions, in a workshop somewhere near the ocean. I’m all tan and smiling and twirling from the haze. It’s hot and the Chims keep on playing the pie game, and they’re singing the same darn refrain. And the smoke’s a bluish gray.
Left a good home in the forest
Working for the fairies every night and day
And I never lost one moment of sleeping
Worrying ’bout the way things might have been.
Big wheel keep on turning,
Alchemy fires burning,
And we’re rolling, rolling,
Rolling in a wagon.
Do you love inebriated women who can’t keep their hands off cute girls? If you love drunken shopkeepers who should be appearing in a “Girls Gone Wild” video, then Atelier Rorona is the game for you.
Seriously, I would have killed for a part-time job like this one in high school.
Are you ready to resort to alchemy? Agent Pepe is ready to make players work hard and sweat bullets. Just be careful: he’s a harsh master, and cannot handle those who love to nap and eat Puni pudding. Can Annie measure up?
Collect the eight gems and have your wish granted. While this sort of thing has become somewhat clich? in games and anime, this common starting point can be built on to create something very interesting and unique indeed.
Felt and Viese have enjoyed a peaceful life on the floating island of Eden. Unfortunately, this peace is ruined when some of the holygrounds of Eden suddenly begin to violently fade away.
After a bit of a delay, Atelier Iris ~Eternal Mana~ is finally out, but how did it fare? Is alchemy as much fun as they say? Go read the review instead of this blurb if you’re curious.
