Gust and Akatsuki Games have announced several developments celebrating the half-year anniversary of their ongoing free-to-play title, Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy & the Polar Night Liberator. Aside from a new in-game event, new key illustrations have been released, alongside new attire of Valeria and Lydie with their own dedicated trailers. It’s worth noting that this only applies to the Japanese version of the title, seeing as the Western release is recent.
Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy & the Polar Night Liberator occurs in the kingdom of Lantarna, which once prospered thanks to alchemy. However, the practice is now nonexistent, not even retained as a memory. The protagonist, Resna, sets off on a journey to restore alchemy throughout the land.
Players will be able to progress without consuming stamina, and the home screen will alter depending on how far you have reached. The series’ general gameplay loop is retained, with characters able to get stronger via quests and a growth board. There are also art cards of previous Atelier games and what-if scenarios with rewards of their own.
You’ll be scored in battle, with awards given depending on performance. Synthesis will have multiple characters unite their efforts across over 100 recipes obtained in various ways. Players will also be able to progress the story without consuming stamina. During combat, turns follow a simple timeline structure, though the Effect Panels provide ample choice for strategy.
