it's really good & i recommend for anyone who want to play atelier series. ayesha don't know anything about alchemist and her progress learning alchemist is really well writed. all character in this game is really cute and have weird characteristic, i really enjoyed every event character in this game because. music in this game is really good, especially when ayesha in flower garden.
It is unfortunate to see something as unique as Ayesha went somewhat off the radar by JRPG fans. It's certainly one of my top 3 Atelier games of all time and it's one of the best JRPGs I've ever played too. Everything about this game seems to have been made with passion from the team; from its music, stories and characters all the way up to gameplay. Most other Atelier games have very shallow plots and storylines but they actually managed to come up with something compelling in Ayesha. The plot is melancholic and deep but at the same time, the whimsical characters lighten the mood a little bit, and all this makes up for a perfect blend of engaging and impactful storytelling. All the characters are pretty well-written too and you don't usually get to see this in most modern Atelier games because only in Ayesha where every character gets the spotlight, unlike in other Atelier games where the main focus is put on the protagonist of each game. Ayesha's synthesis can either be quite simple or complex, depending on how much you're willing to explore the synthesis system. Of course, you'll be rewarded with better items if you go the extra mile with the synthesis mechanic. I think that this is a good thing because it lowers the barrier of entry for people who are not familiar with Atelier synthesis but it also gives the option for more advanced players to craft the most broken items they can think of. Resource and time management are also something that make this game unique. I haven't played Arland myself but I can tell that Ayesha definitely benefits from the time limit because you're forced to use materials and money sparingly and you'll have to decide in what order to complete the checklists in your notebook. These constraints somewhat tie in very well with the story, too. You'll get what I mean when you play it. Despite the presence of time limit, I think you shouldn't be too concerned with it if you've never played an Atelier game and even more so if you've played them before because the amount of time provided to you is very generous and the game is not really that hard to begin with, so as long as you do all the objectives in the notebook you should be able to reach the main objective before the time limit. Even if you couldn't, the game doesn't really have a bad ending, so you can rest assured knowing that you won't be locked to a bad ending for your bad decisions. For me, I think that Atelier Ayesha is the single most flawless Atelier experience to date. It might not be my favourite Atelier game but everything works so well in this game. The synthesis, story, characters, settings and combat are so meticulously crafted and consistent throughout the game that it's hard to point out the flaws. I think everyone and their dog should try and play this game. Don't let the presence of time limit discourage you from trying it because it is IMO among the best starting points in the franchise.
Such an amazing game and atelier game! Ayesha is a really good protagonist, the story is interesting and I really appreciate that the game doesn't follow a linear path, instead you need to solve the mystery by your own with some help of Keithgriff. The alchemy is really good! I didn't understand it at first, but you get some skills as you level up that make it really fun, the way properties and traits are separated compared to the mysterious trilogy also made my experience better.
this game would be better if marion and linca scissored on screen
旧作玩的不多和跨代差距较大(比如旧作打了a5a6和a10) 不好评价炼金系统 但战斗不错,有点意思 比不可思议系列的战斗好玩不少(先排除吸收了续作优点的苏菲2) 但时间限制和难度跟随存档这些所谓的“时代的痕迹”啥的 还是比较容易阻碍怀旧的 哪怕旧作其实放现在依然很好玩 但作为dx版…… 2020年莱莎1都发售了dx版的改动这么小是真不配叫dx版 再加上pc版内部分辨率上限锁死1080p 不打mod4K都没得开 只能说颇有2020年时期gust的pc版游戏的风范了 所以我还是觉得 新人别听姨姥的一上来就去玩旧作 老老实实从便利性和调合难度低的莱莎23入坑算了 爱夏和黄昏系列、罗罗娜和亚兰德系列等至少等入坑后打完不可思议系列再来吧 这不是小登该来的地方 当然如果忍得了“时代的痕迹”那也可以 核心乐趣爱夏这作依然保留的很好 但说真的,好评基本还是针对2012年的原有内容 只是移植新平台+FHD化和用收录全dlc的plus版来移植的dx版实在是给不了好评
Extremely underrated series, and this game in particular proved to me that it deserves more attention. The series has amazing gameplay in that items are heavily focused on and used frequently, and provides a great challenge with games that have timers, but this game in particular has a very heartfelt story, great characters, amazing worldbuilding and atmosphere, and a lot of stuff to do. Its a very cute game, but also just a really good one.
Modern Gust couldn't recreate this masterpiece ♥♥♥♥ ranun
very fun. I love old school limited calendar style atelier used to do and not open world type/ infinite days
Pretty fun game. It's not too difficult, and the crafting feels nice. There's a lot of crafting, so you if don't like games where you craft a bunch, then this game probably isn't for you. The characters are all pretty good (especially Willbell), and the story is alright. The deadline is a bit strict if you play like me, where you try to get everything but the main objective done before doing the main objective, but if you play in pretty much any other way you shouldn't have a problem with it.
[h1][b]🎮 Reseña de Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk DX[/b][/h1] [h2]Resumen del Juego[/h2] Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk DX es un [b]JRPG[/b] de fantasía con protagonista femenina donde el verdadero “poder legendario” no es una espada ancestral… es tu capacidad de [b]recolectar cosas del piso[/b] y convertirlas en algo útil sin preguntarte por qué llevas 38 hierbas, 12 minerales y un trauma emocional en la mochila. La propuesta mezcla [b]exploración[/b], [b]combate por turnos[/b] y [b]fabricación/alquimia[/b] como núcleo. Si vienes buscando un festival de explosiones y testosterona, aquí te van a dar [i]ternura, mitos y leyendas[/i] y una vibra de “todo es bonito, pero el mundo se está apagando”. Y sí, suena dramático… hasta que estás farmeando ingredientes como si fuera trabajo de oficina. Primera impresión: es colorido, adorable y emocional, con una historia que intenta pegarte donde duele, mientras tú estás pensando “ok, pero ¿qué receta desbloquea esto?”. Un rol japonés que te abraza con una mano y con la otra te pide que craftees 15 cosas antes de avanzar. [h2]Alquimia Celestial vs. Recolecta-Obligatoria[/h2] Lo Bueno: ✅ 🧪 [b]Fabricación/alquimia[/b] adictiva: el típico “una receta más y me duermo”… mentira, no te duermes. ✅ 🎭 [b]Buena trama[/b] con tono [b]emocional[/b]: más corazón del que esperas en un juego tan “adorable”. ✅ ⚔️ [b]Combate por turnos[/b] que acompaña sin estorbar: ideal si te gusta pensar y no solo apretar botones. ✅ 🎶 [b]Gran banda sonora[/b]: de esas que te hacen sentir productivo aunque estés recolectando como mapache. ✅ 🌍 [b]Exploración[/b] en un mundo de fantasía “Dusk”: la ambientación tiene personalidad y melancolía. Lo No Tan Bueno: ❌ 🎮 [b]Compatibilidad parcial con mando[/b] 😬: en PC esto siempre suena a “vas a pelearte con el menú”. ❌ 🧍♂️ [b]Solo un jugador[/b]: perfecto si odias a la gente… pero no esperes salvar el mundo con compas. ❌ 🏆 [b]41 logros[/b] que pueden volverse checklist: si eres completista, tu paz mental no viene incluida. ❌ 👥 [b]Comunidad mini[/b] (7 jugadores actuales): si buscas un “boom” social, aquí hay más silencio que en biblioteca.

Es adorable, sí, pero también tiene una melancolía interesante y una narrativa que se toma en serio. Y cuando la música entra, hasta tus mandados alquímicos se sienten épicos. Ahora, seamos controversiales: si odias el crafteo, aquí no te van a “convertir”, te van a [b]absorber[/b]. Y en PC, esa compatibilidad parcial con mando es el recordatorio de que a veces el verdadero jefe final es el menú. Con 7 jugadores actuales, esto no es tendencia: es [i]culto[/i]. Pero con 487 recomendaciones totales, queda claro que quienes lo juegan suelen salir contentos… o al menos resignados y tarareando el soundtrack. [h3]Recomendación de Compra (Recomendado)[/h3] Puntuación Total: 7.4/10 Número de jugadores activos al momento de hacer esta review: 7 Descuento máximo registrado: -60% Veredicto: [i]Recomendado para fans del JRPG, la alquimia y la exploración tranquila; no recomendado si te da alergia recolectar.[/i] Si te atrae un rol japonés con protagonista femenina, ambientación de fantasía y un sistema de fabricación que domina el ritmo del juego, vale la pena. Si necesitas acción constante y cero gestión, mejor busca algo que no te pida “solo una receta más” hasta las 3 a.m.
