Is Iris no Atelier - Eternal Mana still worth playing in 2026?
Gust's first Atelier Iris, Eternal Mana introduces the alchemist RPG series on PS2 with an item crafting system at the heart of the adventure, where gathering materials and synthesising recipes feeds the progression. The colourful sprite art direction, the warm mood and the dynamic turn based combat appeal to genre fans. The measured pace and a certain classicism call for some indulgence. An endearing JRPG for fans of playful alchemy and gentle fantasy on PS2.
