Atelier Resleriana Reviews

This was just awful. I can’t believe anyone could like this type of game. The jiggle factor is turned up to 9000 (seriously, if any of these characters every tried to run, they would probably explode, die, or both). Every cutscene is clearly designed by and for people that have never had intimate relations in their life. The gameplay is stale and basic with little interesting choices to be made. The voices hurt my ears, but that’s fairly typical for games originating from certain areas (turned off in two seconds) with no options for other vocal languages. The story is so uninteresting.

Well, it lasted five minutes or so. On the plus side, it cost me nothing, and has saved me potential a lot on trying out other Atelier games (I will not do so again). Was eyeing those Monster Rancher games from Koei on iOS (I loved the entire series), but after this I will pass on those as well.

The only language the characters are speaking is Japanese when at the beginning of the beginning of the game they let you pick the language you can choose from it can be very annoying.

Open-ish world, co-op play (the privacy settings needed work though), an alchemy system that didn’t depend on characters you had to gamble for. Story that catered to an audience beyond folks that want to watch gelatin boobas bounce while the mounts go ooooon annnd ooooon about things that are not even remotely interesting. And did I mention actually PLAYING the game and not just watching gelatin boobas bounce while the mounts go ooooon aaaannnnd ooooon about things that are not even remotely interesting?

Oh, and this game feels like lesbian bait. I mean I’m all for representation and equality, but uh, where’s the representation and equality for literally everyone else?

Game looks good. Thing is stamina cost the pity or lack of pitty. Rates are invisible. No way to actually earn currency in game. Game is way to character driven so if there’s no pitty and rates are trash chances excuse me no chance in pulling characters. This game just like others is an cash grab for real. Don’t know why companies put pitty behind cash currency.

I wanted to love this game, I really did. But my constant shift from bored due to how much the characters talk in a manner that isn’t engaging. Or genuinely annoyed over the fact that my characters need to have an absurdly high base stat total to feel like I'm making a dent in the lower leveled events in the EARLY GAME. Most Gacha games make you feel like you can achieve what you need to F2P which inspired players to pay more. When I get brick walled by an enemy with a 3k power rating at 5.3k, it’s not due to genuine difficulty that I can optimize a team around. It simply feels as if it’s because I didn’t pull the limited character and chose not to reroll, I have to trudge to the slowest early game grind i’ve seen in any game i’ve played, and frankly. I genuinely had to delete the game off my phone as I predicted that that loop wouldn’t get tiring, it would get infuriating. It really blows to have pre-registered only to have no interest not even 3 months into the games lifespan, but I’ll stick to Ryza on console thank you.

This game has some of the worse “recommended power” numbers I’ve ever seen. “Recommended: 4600” was only beaten with a power of 5000. “Recommended: 5700” can’t even be beaten with a 5700 power level. Why even recommend a power level when you have to be over 400 the listed power to beat it?

Omg how in the world do I complete this level??? The enemy takes 0 damage and nullifies stun? I tried using your contact form and the information you require to ask a question is RIDICULOUS. Why do you REQUIRE model name AND number? Just to asked a question? It’s obvious you make it difficult to to submit any inquiries through your site just to avoid responding.

Rates are not as advertised (fraud; Nexon)
SSR memoria absolutely have a much higher chance of being pulled and taking all of your SSR weight on pulls. You will be stuck pulling only memoria after you have gotten a few SSR characters, I guarantee it.

Don’t get this if you’re only F2P, as whales are the only ones benefitting from the design of this game atm.

The game loads slow, the loading screen gets annoying overtime. You also get forced to spend very early in the game, you cannot progress if you don't do a paid wish, your characters will be level locked

They did my boy Vayne dirty. Being a protagonist with a terrible kit.

And holy * $40 for a ten pull. I know the game was put a lot of effort on the art but thats just straight robbery and ridiculous.

Other than that the game is fun. This game is just for whales. Not even dolphins are welcome.

It’s really bizarre. They had me download a lot of data and yet there’s no music, character voices, nothing… the sound on my phone is working in other apps so what happened

I love Koei Tecmo, and I love Atelier, but wow these gatcha rates are abysmal. I’ve been re-rolling for 2 days straight and the pulls have been miserable.

How can we be expected to spend money on a virtual currency that will in all likelihood result in getting nothing of value?

This is predatory, and frankly an insult to the talented artists, animators, and other designers who did an incredible job making this game look nice.

I don’t understand the point of making the gatcha rates so low— do you want us to spend more? Then INCENTIVIZE us to spend, don’t DE-INCENTIVIZE us!

Tired of getting notifications about games that just came out that I pre-ordered only to find that I can’t play it yet because it’s not actually released. Don’t release a game unless it’s ready to play.

I liked the previous atelier mobile title a lot, so I was excited to try it. Found out quickly that it’s just badly written cutscenes interspersed with really easy battles, no exploration, shallow item creation. It may have some appeal for horny reasons, but not enough for me to keep it installed.

The gameplay itself is fun and engaging to an extent but the gacha is horrid. Each pull is 3000 gems, and by doing all the dailies/weeklies/events, you get about 6000 gems a month. With every banner there are 2, 50% discount pulls. So you get roughly 3 -10 pulls a month. The pull rate for the limited time characters are 1%. One of the units is usually not that great though so only a .5% chance for a desirable character. If you go by pure statistics, you’ll get 1 limited time character every 3 months. And a desirable one every 6 months.

TL;DR - You can’t team build in this game as a free to play player

First the pros: the graphics are outstanding, with excellent anime-style character designs that evoke the best of the series. The sound, music, and special effects are equally outstanding.

The cons: there is some serious misogynistic use of these gorgeously animated characters. Sure, the series and many JPG games are not known for fully clothing their characters, but here it is the intentional use of titillating camera angles and body physics that is just wrong.

Every female character who is not petite in their physical endowment has their chest jiggle extensively every time they move. I’m talking about gravity defying, what the heck are they wearing under that shirt, over the top jiggles. It seems the characters move in certain ways just to be able to show this off (as the camera always seems to be centered on it).

Worse, the camera likes to circle in the most blatant areas to overly sexualize the outfits. One early scene with Ryza (who yes we know her shorts are indeed quite short), the camera actually goes far lower to the ground than is needed when she bends over to be able to show her underwear underneath. Completely unnecessary and cheapens a beloved character from the series.

The combat is a bit “meh” with the focus on stuns and timing access to bursts, but does reward planning and seems more effective played manual than using auto.

Gatcha is gatcha; too early to say how fair this is as only some beginning pulls so far.

Game is literally just cutscenes with a random battle. Not for me, maybe you’ll like it though.

(P.S it’s pretty much well known that this is a just a cash grab to fund new-non gacha games of the series, for that sole fact, don’t expect it to last long)

I fully support and LOVE this game, but AtelierResleriana crashes at least once every single time I play, and the game runs like molasses after playing it for a little while (horrible frame rate, freezing, etc). I really hope this game is way better optimized in the future, because it really is an excellent game when it works.

The tutorial is WAY too long shorten it down a LOT and by a lot I mean by a huge amount it’s far too long and isn’t fun in general I suggest making the tutorial shorter and making it so that way players can choose when and when not to do it this will improve gameplay and might even give you more players

$600 to guarantee the character you want from the gacha once and $40 for a 10 pull… a video game with hours of content is $60-$70. Shame the game is fun and looks great. Even has physics which is a plus. But really about 6 weeks of grinding for one 10 pull for f2p or get ripped off buying pulls. They don’t even have a value option like daily gems for $5/month.

I can’t speak for any of the other games that are a part of this series, but I found this game to be relatively uninteresting. The combat system is pretty lackluster, and it feels like it’s just setting up to be a grindfest in late game. The gacha rates were fine.
The story lost my attention pretty early on because of how much it just…dawdled? Like, nothing was happening. It was just characters going from point A to Point B and chatting about very uninteresting things. There was nothing in the story that pulled me into the world or got me emotionally invested in the characters, which I feel like should be one of the first things you do at the start of the story. It feels like it’s just relying on the other titles to make the player care. That being said, I can admire the quality of the 3D animations and how polished the game and ui look overall. But in general the game hasn’t been able to hold my attention for more than 10 minutes at a time.

When I first looked at the game trailer, I thought this game has potential but sadly it don’t seems to be that way when I installed and try it myself,
wasted almost like half hour just to listen to their slow story progression and meaningless talk, probably not my taste. But I really appreciate the graphics and the whole full VA.
It would changes my mind if this game allows exploration but… well.
I can’t see where this game will leads to after 2 years but I hope you company makes good money out of it while it lasts.
Best of luck.

The gameplay in this game is beyond boring. You’re using only one skill per character. Rarely you’ll use their skill 1 AKA their wait command. And even more rarely will you use their ultimate. The atelier system could not be more shallow and useless in combat. The stat boosts are minimal compared to the rising ranks of enemy stats. The recommended power vs actual power means nothing if your characters aren’t exactly designed against the enemy. This doesn’t prompt strategy, just getting lucky on gacha pulls. Noted, you won’t feel this unless you’re around the 5-6K power mark. This game has so much service but so little return. You feel like you can do a lot and get many rewards and get stronger, but at the end of the day you’ll realize you actually didn’t do a lot and barely raised a stat by a couple parameters. And all this is a total shame, because the framework for good combat is there. The amazing art style is there. It just gets used so poorly

The game has so much cutscenes and not so many fun battles in it, there all the same. The game looks great, runs good for iPhone XR, and good quality, but lacking gameplay in a sense. I played it since it came out, and I’m not really invested into it.

This game is a great gacha game, though it’s not a game that will replace smash-hit gacha games like Genshin Impact and Fate Grand Order. Play it for what it is - and if you want more of the same gameplay without the gacha system, there is a Atelier title out there to try. Go play Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists - the game is on Steam & Nintendo Switch. The gameplay resource loop Atelier Resna has is basically taken from Nelke, with Nelke using its materials to build up a town whereas Resna uses its materials to make your characters stronger to progress in the storyline.

Just note that this version is 4 months behind the original Japanese version currently- with certain game characters/memoria missing due to the two differing game calendars (JP will have a number of characters & memoria that won’t be available to EN for several months due to being locked behind Holiday events.) That said, because EN is behind, it’s easier to know when a new meta character will be coming.

In terms of your wallet - it is on the more expensive side as a 10-pull will cost ~$20USD. There is also no pity system - only a shard system that requires a lot of pulls before you get enough shards to get Characters via the shard shop.

Kind of a low-key gacha. Cute characters and story. Slow menus in the UI and the environment graphics are dated - while the character models are not. Kind of weird

I love all the Atelier series but without a controller it’s just not the same! It’s nice to be able to have option not to use a controller but it would be nice to have both options!

overall good game; generic combat and low gacha rates but good animation and story.

my main gripe is that many of the cutscenes are extremely long and sometimes forced; its hard to enjoy the story when it takes hours to get through something, with so much time spent on just watching things play out.

This has all the cute story and characters that any fans of this franchise will expect. I hope this game stays around

I started playing atelier from Ryza then Sofie, I’m surprised by how this mobile game turns out. Graph and gameplay is perfect so far, the atelization seems questionable but okay so far. Excited to see how it goes

I came into this game with some lowered expectations after Atelier Online’s shutdown. That’s a SERIOUS regret—this game deserves respect, attention, and all that it entails.

Gacha: Expected unfair draw rates. I got one that is respectful to most players, while not being an absolute pushover.

Battle: Quite snappy. Even has an auto mode for lazy people! The only issue I have is that the recommended combat power can get up there fast if you’re not careful…but that is but a mere nitpick for me, and not cause for a star loss.

Synthesis: It’s so good, I am blown away…!

Overall: STOP READING MY REVIEW AND PLAY ALREADY!!

Really fun story and characters. And love how they have characters throughout the whole franchise of Atelier series

I just want to say that I rate this game a 10 out of 10 so far I am truly enjoying it. I love it and I hope that this game continue on for a long time.!

Other than being a pervy game, the gameplay is fun. 5 stars for gameplay. Hate that they have to add perverted things.

pretty similar to their original game(graphic, character movement etc). And I love the music so much, it’s pretty good.

Hi developers. I’m having a great time playing this! Ive been hooked on the atelier series for about 2 years now. This is a well polished gatcha title. I hope you will continue to support it far into the future, as will I !!

Having played its Japan release since release, I am ecstatic to now enjoy its Global iteration.
Atelier Resna is a very high quality Gacha iteration into the Atelier series - now boasting 30 years of charming JRPGs centered around Alchemical crafting.

Very cute character designs. Has a good story. It has a pretty fair gatcha system which is pretty surprising.

Great game fun to play

Such a beautifully designed game. True to life animations, great storyline, excellent gameplay. The only other thing I could ask to make this my favorite game of this genre would be an English voice translation. I like to look at the animations during the story but I cannot read the story and enjoy the animations simultaneously. I give this five stars for all these reasons! Highly recommend y’all try this awesome game!

It’s well polished with tons of QOL but what attracted me and keeps me coming back is the battle system that’s actually quite puzzly and fun rather then. Ring something I want to auto through.

For a mobile game this is very impressive! The graphics are straight up amazing!!! Ill be honest. This looks so much nicer than ryza 3 on the switch lol but none the less it almost feels like a full fledge game. Keep supporting atelier!

Definitely worth downloading and playing!!!
