Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk DX Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
After releasing the Arland DX trilogy a little over a year ago, Koei Tecmo has just unleashed the Dusk DX trilogy to tide fans over until the next game arrives. For starters, let's take a look at Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk DX and see how it holds up.
Atelier Ayesha DX is a solid entry starting off the Dusk trilogy, with compelling crafting and gameplay loops, as well as plenty of loveable characters.
This decent Japanese RPG is worth playing. The gameplay is good and addictive, even though the game has some technical and presentation issues
I still can’t tell you the best way to on-ramp yourself to the Atelier franchise after playing this game. But I can tell you that Atelier Ayesha might be well-served with a walkthrough or an understanding that you’ll be failing a few tries before getting it right, and that it’s still worth it because the experience is fun. And if you want a JRPG that’s not just the standard fare, well… here’s a good call.
