“Back in 1997 a Japanese developer named Gust managed to make their mark on the RPG genre long before the Western world even knew their names. The team released the very first game in the long running Atelier series, a franchise that has now spanned across six series, seen multiple spin-offs, and reached fans the world over in its twenty six year history. Now, after concluding their most successful series yet Gust and Koei Tecmo have returned to their roots by bringing the very first Atelier game to the West for the first time ever with Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg. Serving as the starting point for an RPG with a different style than most, is this return to basics still worth diving into?”
