“When it comes to the Atelier franchise, fans never quite know what to expect after one of their trilogy reaches a conclusion. With the Ryza series concluding a couple of years ago, it saw the release of a gacha game called Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy & the Liberator of Polar Night that told its own original storyline following a pair of main characters named Resna and Valeria and their allies coupled with as many familiar alchemists and warriors from past games as pullable characters.
Unfortunately, such is the way with most gacha games, Atelier Resleriana’s global servers never quite hit the highs of the original Japanese release, seeing its eventual closure earlier this year, ending the original storyline for English audiences even as the Japanese story continued with a brand new arc. That being said, this wasn’t the end for all things Atelier Resleriana as Koei Tecmo and Gust have crafted a simpler but enjoyable game pulling from the gacha title’s lore and concept of character cameos, though not quite leaning on it as heavily as Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists, and releasing Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian.”
