This is the cutest atelier game I’ve ever played. It’s full of charm. Everything is absolutely beautiful, the music, the characters, the locations. It’s everything I was hoping for. I highly recommend if your looking for a fun, cute, and cozy game :)I've played Atelier series since the atelier of Rorona. I played The Trilogy of Alrand, The Trilogy of Dusk, and The Trilogy of Mystery. I was extremely disappointed in the Trilogy of Mystery, so when I ordered Atelier Lulua, I was actually worried about how the game will be. Is gonna be good? or terribly bad.And my opinion for Lulua is.... not bad.Okay... Let me start with a disappointing point in the game.The events of the Lulua were not interesting. Totally BORING. (Right now I am playing the last chapter, and I've almost finished all characters' events.)If you already played the Trilogy of Alrand, then you are gonna feel the same thing as me. I'm definitely sure.There was no probability of the main story, all boring typical new characters, and similar and repeated events (you can feel even deja vu while you are playing the game!).However, the combat and the alchemic system were really enjoyable.If those two were also bad as the story, I for sure stopped playing the Lulua.The combat system is similar to the Trilogy of the Dusk series in my opinion. The trilogy of Dusk series is the most favorite atelier serious for me. So, I enjoyed the battle all the time while I was playing the game. If you utilize the items and the characters very well, you can defeat a lot of the enemies in the game just one turn.Next, the alchemic system... Umm... it was difficult, but not boring. However, if you don't like to spend too much time into the synthesis, then I guess you can feel somehow bothersome about the game. (when you reach the last chapter, you have to do a lot of synthesis for your weapons, armors, and the items to defeat the last boss.)Anyway, the Atelier of Lulua is Not a bad game. (I cannot say it's a good game.)I am enjoying the Atelier of Lulua, but not all the things.This was a fun game to play, and I really recommend it to people who like interesting stories and don’t mind having to do some grinding to get through the game. Compared to some games I’ve played, the grinding wasn’t that bad. Near the end grinding of the game was a breeze, so I didn’t mind spending half an hour or so to be able to move on with the story. The characters are funny, the combat is engaging, and I loved the crafting system (alchemy). Overall it was a great game.Let Amazon donate to your favorite charity!

Awesome!I really liked how this game turned out to be. This is the first Atelier game I decided to try out, in fact I never even heard of the game series till I stumbled upon it over Amazon.If you like a story driven game, solving riddles, turn based combat, and cute anime girls that make your heart melt then look no further, this is the game for you.I have put 30 hours of game time on it so far, and find myself wanting to play more. It's always a heart warming feeling when you go out and try a new game you never heard of or played before and having it turn out to be a great experience.As far as the product goes, the case and game came in perfectly. Not a single scratch. Looks the same as the photos shown.Very happy with this purchase, and definetly looking foward to getting more into Atelier games.If you played the first three (Rorona, Totori, Meruru) you know what to expect, this plays like a more modern game with no time limit, better graphics, and a solid combat system with up to 5 characters in a fight at once (three front-line attackers and two support characters). You have a good variety of characters to choose from including three alchemists (so you can use a full alchemist party if desired) but skill-based characters can be equally useful given the right equipment. Crafting is also improved, there is a lot of useful features like search and filter to help narrow down ingredients. The world is pretty big and there are three seperate towns, lots of unlockable areas, and the combat in some areas being difficult if you don't take the time to level up. The story is decent, the best part is getting to see how most of the characters in the original games are doing now that they are (generally) successful and prominent adults.Ah yes, the Arland saga. It brings back memories. In this game, you return to the place where the previous three games took place, but years later and with a new main character. Old, familiar faces do make their appearances, so that is a nice surprise to look forward to (if you played the previous games). The whole format of the game play is pretty much the same as the other three games. Some things have been revamped and the overall graphics are better, but the general feel of the game is the same as the other three. So if you liked the older three games in the saga and/or you like alchemy-based role playing games, I highly recommend this game. You will not be disappointed and get your money's worth. A very nice, lighthearted story filled with many interesting characters, some humor, intrigue, lots of quests, and of course, alchemy!I love the atelier series in general, but being on the Nintendo switch I had high hopes for this one. It definately didn't disappoint! The graphics are really well done and the expressions the characters can make are more varied then the other games in the series.Even though it does not have English voice actors, the Japanese voice actors are amazing in expressing their lines! Not to mention the music is lovely to listen to! I LOVE this game so much! If I ever lost it I would definately buy it again!!! XDGame came in brand new condition, lots of fun things to do. Would definitely recommend itEs casi tan perfecto como atelier shallie o atelier firisEs un juego exelente y muy entretenido100% recomendableAmé el juego
