Is Shin Rorona no Atelier - Hajimari no Monogatari - Arland no Renkinjutsushi still worth playing in 2026?
An alchemy RPG from Gust, this remake of Rorona The Alchemist of Arland has you play a young apprentice alchemist who must save her workshop by filling orders within a time limit, between ingredient gathering, item synthesis and turn based combat. The warm art direction, the deadline based management loop and the charm of the characters win over genre fans. The time management and the Japan exclusivity divide. A good game for fans of alchemy RPGs, gentle management and charming Japanese worlds on PS3.
