What players say

It's quite a short game. It took me about 7 hours to finish it. I wouldn't recommend buying it for the full price, however it's a very cute and lovely game. Grab it on sale.

It was fun, I beat it in one sitting. The crafting was neat and hopefully the games further on in this series go further in depth (this is the first one, and I started with the remake). The combat system was abysmal, and is part of what stopped me from replaying it to see other endings. I have no intention of participating in the game's combat ever again.

While pretty basic, its still a very fun and engaging atelier game, once you get past the first year. I was suprised that the first game in the whole series would already have so many staples of the franchise and im excited and hopeful, that Gust remakes other older titles. Considering its a Koei Tecmo published game, 50€ isnt suprising, but do it like me and get it on a sale.
