Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian

What it is

Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian is a role-playing game from Gust Co. Ltd. Two young adults return to their lost hometown to seek the truth and recover what matters to them. You can roam the Lantarna mainland, gather materials and battle, with scenery changing through day and night and different weather. Switch between Rias and Slade at any time; each has distinct field actions.

Combat uses a timeline-based command system, with up to three party members in each of the front and back rows. Multi-actions, Item Mix and Link Attacks add options in battles. In the multi-floor Dimensional Paths, layouts and monsters change on each challenge, and tougher difficulty can bring more valuable ingredients. Treasure chests and powerful enemies may yield Starpearls. Synthesis combines recipe ingredients, linking their Gift Colors to pass traits to crafted items. The game also includes shop management and random dungeons. Steam lists single-player, adjustable difficulty and text size, color alternatives, custom volume controls, and support for DualShock and DualSense controllers. The listed platform is Windows.
