Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy & the Liberator of Polar Night

Sadly I kinda gave up on this. I don't really play mobile games (like literally at all) and I've never played an Atelier game before, so coming into this, I didn't know what to expect. Only reason I decided to play it is because I heard they were shutting the game down in March 2025, so I didn't have much time to play it. I really just wanted to play the story, but soon found out this story of a girl who desires to become a true alchemist was just a barebones experience, including points in the game where you have to complete certain challenges to even continue the story. I got past the prologue and chapter 1, but during chapter 2, it forces you to complete a hard mission that's basically impossible unless you grind and grind. Like, it's ridiculous how hard the game makes it to level up your party's power level, and I just decided this game was not worth it. The story is just bad, and none of the characters or gameplay made me care to continue. In all, maybe if I started this game awhile ago, I would have kept trying to continue through the story, but because of the nonsense it makes you go through, it just made me not wanna play anymore. Not recommended.
