The perfect Elden Ring counter
This time, Sophie has fallen into a dream in which none of her friends remember her, though the dreamworld setting doesn’t seem to change the core of what you’re doing. You still gather ingredients, craft things via the “Synthesis” system, and battle stuff. The turn-based battles have become increasingly refined in recent iterations of Atelier and now trigger seamlessly within the game world.
Does any of this matter? Not really. These are games in which you craft stuff, whack stuff, explore an anime village which has become prettier overtime, and often hang out with a likeable group of characters. Ed was fondof the last game, charitably describing it as “unapologetically anime.”
Honestly, these are games I’ve dabbled in, because I like the idea of a colourful, chill alchemy ‘em up, but it feels like I’d need another life to invest in ‘em fully. If you’ve got that spare life to hand, you cangrab it from Steam nowfor £50/€60/$60.
