Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists ~Ateliers of the New World~

Дикий таймер убивает всякое удовольствие от игры, слабое знание английского превратит прохождение в адские пытки. Есть большая доля вероятности, что игру вообще невозможно пройти не только со второй, но и со сто второй пытки. Также непонятно, нужно ли выполнять все условия из списка задач или же хватит и одной, чтобы продлить свой срок пребывания на посту мэра. А невозможность - по крайней мере я такой не нашел - переноса зданий из одного района в другой, не позволят создать специфицированные зоны, для перестройки потребуется время - при том что есть лимит на два строения за раз. Одно радует, серию Atelier не оставляют и надеюсь в следующей части не будет никаких препон на пути к высшему наслаждению с очередной лоли-алхичкой и компанией ее сотоварищей. Эта игра зайдет только при знаний английского и будет не плохой убивалкой времени и скуки.

It is ok but it just makes me miss all the games that isn't on pc. Edit: There are some problems with the first disaster happening way before you can get shining crystals and sometimes the same for the countries request requesting items you can't possibly create or enemies you have not encountered. I have restarted a couple of times and i think the game might be confused by the extra items i get from one or more of the dlc. But yeah this game is way too slow for me to restart AGAIN. So i will just try taking the failure.

Nelke presents itself as a side game in the Atelier franchise, therefore I can jusdge it a little lighter on certain asects against other games in the franchise. Mainly the fanservice. This was obviously intended to be a funlittle fanservice game for fans of the franchise as a main goal. Every protagonist from before the release date returns, alongside a few other characters in a main role. Certain ones hae a bit more narritive focus, but every one gennerally has their moments. You'll probably only really enjoy it if you have played a lot, if not all of the pre Lulua games. If you've only played the Arland, Dusk and Mysterious games avalible on Steam, you'll have a fine time, but you'll certainly will miss out on a lot of context for interactions between characters of the first 10 games. I wish there were a few more returning side characters here though, the ones they pick aren't really my favorite However, this is definitly a side game. No real tension or stakes feel present, nor does the game feel necicairry to play. The main gameplay does not follow the structure of a regualar Atelier game, you're not exploring anything, not synthesising, nor do battles have any depth. This is a town builder, with Atelier characters. There is a time limit gimmick for some reason, it didn't really feel necissairry, but it's fine. I already knew this game was going to be a checkpoint among my journey trough the series, and I have been wondering for a while wheter or not playing all these games has been worth it. But coming along a game where I can enjoy nearyly any interaction between 2 random protagonists, and can recall the things they refrence, I am confident it was. The credits made me cry. All that said, it is still a very fanservice game, mostly being carried by the events, which o get tiring after a while since they're the main element of gameplay you'll be experiencing in the mid to late game. The game isn't perfect, maybe not even great, but even though the quallity itself isn't even close to the series best, I still love it. You seriously need to start playing Atelier games, I'm no longer asking. (although this might be the worst starting point in the series, play something like Sophie, and see if the games are for you) 7.5/10
