Atelier Rorana is not your typical console fare, but it is a game excursion well worth your time. Although seemingly simple on the outside, underneath the anime art style lies an engaging romp through a colorful exercise in time management.

So, another Atelier game has finally come out... It probably doesn't mean much to most people, let me inform you. The Atelier games follow alchemists, men and women who can manipulate elements and items to create a range of different foods, weapons, objects etc and this is no different.

I love this series and this game did not disappoint. If you love JRPG's you owe it to yourself to get this one!

The story revolves around the young alchemist Totooria Helmold, or Totori as people call her. She lives with her father & sister in the fishing village of Alanya. One day, she decides to become an adventurer so she can travel the world and look for her missing mother, an adventurer herself who...

2010's Atelier Rorona gets an overhaul with an all-new Plus version. Cheap cash-in or an opportunity to fix the issues of the original? Pete takes an in-depth look. Having been around since 1997, Atelier is one of the more long-running Japanese game series.

It's so addictive… It's so cute! Just the way I like my games :)

Atelier Rorona is by no means a perfect experience, but it's pretty darn close. The game continues the addictive alchemy-focused gameplay of Annie, while the charm and atmosphere really make the game come alive.

I admit, I'm a new fan to the Atelier series. I tried the Mana Khemia games, but couldn't really get into them. I'm aware they aren't the same as the traditional Atelier games, but I never played Iris , so this was my only knowledge of the series prior.

As a long-time veteran of the series, I had a good idea of what I was getting into when I started Atelier Rorona: Alchemist of Arland . True to the series' roots, Atelier Rorona places a heavy emphasis on item crafting. If you use it, there's a good chance you'll have to make it.

While this is certainly my first experience with the Atelier series and I have nothing to really compare it to, Atelier Rorona: Alchemist of Arland is one of the best turn-based RPGs that I have played in awhile.
