March 2014 is set to be the month for both North American and PAL region gamers to get their hands on the chronological sequel to Atelier Ayesha, Atelier Escha & Logy ~ Alchemists of the Dusk Sky ~ on the Playstation 3.
North American gamers will be able to get their hand on the game from the 11th March 2014 kudos of Tecmo Koei America, while Tecmo Koei Europe have confirmed that PAL region gamers will be able to purchase it even sooner, on the 7th March 2014.
This latest installment will provide an extended gameplay experience with two protagonists’ stories—Escha and Logy. For the first time in the Atelier series, Atelier Escha & Logy ~Alchemists of the Dusk Sky~ lets players choose their main character, either Escha or Logy, which will offer unique story perspectives and gameplay experiences. Escha’s story focuses on the traditional alchemy RPG and everyday adventures of an alchemist that Atelier series fans love, whereas Logy’s story is a more serious adventure focused on world exploration.
Some other promoted features of the game include:
Battle with more teammates!
Traditionally, in the Atelier series, only 3 characters could join the battle party, but in Atelier Escha & Logy ~Alchemists of the Dusk Sky~, players can have a maximum of 6 characters in battle to allow for more strategy and faster-paced fights!
Streamlined synthesis welcomes newcomers and long-time series fans!
The synthesis system and interface have been streamlined to make item creation more approachable and enjoyable. As their Synthesis level goes up, players will be able to access more items for synthesis.
Fast-paced, turn-based combat system!
Battles are fought using a turn-based combat system, but character actions and command inputs are optimized for fast-paced fights. During battle, players can use support attacks, in which allied characters hop in and appear one after another in an effort to execute impressive follow-up attacks! Utilize the assist attack system to rule the battlefield!
Alchemist-exclusive attack, Double Draw!
As Alchemists, Escha and Logy can use the various items they create through synthesis during battle. Atelier Escha & Logy ~Alchemists of the Dusk Sky~ has expounded on that concept and created a new alchemist-exclusive command, “Double Draw,” which allows consecutive item use while also increasing their effects!
Gorgeous graphics with lively characters!
Characters’ faces are meticulously animated and show a wide range of expressions. With the newly implemented engine, the characters in Atelier Escha & Logy ~Alchemists of the Dusk Sky~ really come to life!
