Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea closes the Atelier Dusk trilogy which was preceded by ‘Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk’ and ‘Atelier Escha and Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky’. The Dusk trilogy is set on a backdrop of a world slowly coming to its end; a world in the dusk of its life. As with ‘Escha and Logy’, In Atelier Shallie players can chose to play as one of two main characters: either the reserved, mission-focused Shallistera, daughter of a tribal leader who embarks on voyage to find a solution to a crisis affecting her homeland, as representative of her ailing father, or as the ambitious, energetic Shallotte, who has been struggling to bring success to the alchemy workshop since the passing of her father. This dual main character system has been improved significantly with the addition of separate stories and multiple endings for both Shallistera and Shallotte. More importantly, many other new features have been developed and improved after incorporating feedback from the Gust community. As a result the game now boast a new Environment System, which adapts according to the player’s actions. Through that material collected from the same source can be depleted and, in turn, become rare and more expensive to buy at the shop. This system also automatically adapts game difficulty to suit the player’s level making the game accessible to both newcomers and long-time fans. There have also been significant changes to the battle system as it will now focus more on strategy and speed, while the time management system will be free from restrictions allowing for unlimited play time. Furthermore, this title is moving away from the linear character of the previous instalments by introducing a Quest system that allows players to venture of challenging side-quests and assignments not pivotal to the progression of the story. Lastly, for the first time in the Atelier series, Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea will include a 360 degree camera, giving players more freedom as they explore a vast world map that has expanded greatly.

Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers writes: "After exploring the lands of Arland for three titles, Koei Tecmo introduced fans of the series to a new land, new set of characters, and a change-up to many mechanics when they transitioned into the Dusk series with Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk. While this change may have been interesting in a few ways, each step forward was met with a step back that led to Ayesha being one of the weakest recent titles in the series. Now that Atelier Ayesha Plus: The Alchemist of Dusk has been released; is the title better than the original?"

From the review: "An interesting premise and unique time mechanic is marred by an aimless story that spends too much time in cinemas. To make matters worse, the cutesy voice acting ranges from annoying to unbearable. Atelier Ayesha Plus: The Alchemist of Dusk looks good and has a great crafting system, but it pales in comparison to Atelier Rorona."

Atelier Rorona Plus: The Alchemist of Arland is either about creating chemical weapons to destroy anyone or anything that dares stand in your way or it's about playing as a cute girl tasked with saving her master's alchemy workshop by completing three years of assignments at the behest of the Kingdom of Arland. If either of those premises sounds interesting to you, I've got good news! It's both of those things! Atelier Rorona Plus is something of an oddity in a series which is something of an oddity itself.
