Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky DX Switch NSP Free Download The second game in the Dusk trilogy, Atelier Escha and Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky DX continues to take part in the same universe as Atelier Ayesha, with some returning characters popping up here and there – but, for the most part, this is very much its own tale and one that, unfortunately, gets off to quite a stilted start. The early hours with this entry in the long-running series see you bogged down in unnecessarily prolonged political chit-chat and rule-following as the game lays out the foundations of a story which.

Thankfully, does take flight quite nicely once you make your way through these dull, exposition-heavy early hours which are exacerbated by a decision to front-load most of the tutorial aspects of the game. It’s a problematically slow opening for sure, but one that does at least have the benefit of giving the story an unusually strong set-up for a series that isn’t particularly well known for its involving narratives.

Story

Atelier Escha & Logy takes place a few years after Atelier Ayesha, featuring a few familiar faces alongside a slew of new characters. Escha and Logy, the two primary protagonists, are up-and-coming alchemists that have been assigned to the research and development team in the town of Colseit far to the west of the lands explored in Atelier Ayesha. As was the case previously, alchemy and alchemists are still a bit of an anomaly here, but are believed to be key in surviving the Dusk End – an era of global decay and famine…I think.

The whole “Dusk” concept is somewhat glossed over in both games, but you get an idea of what is going on through the bare context provided.Regardless, the R&D division often explores dilapidated ruins for this very reason; technology and alchemical wonders here may help the alchemists to better understand the impending crisis at hand. However, it could also be that these issues are cyclical, and that the rise in alchemy could very well bring about the unknown destruction of the past era – in the wrong hands, at least.

Gameplay

Fortunately, the gameplay loop in Escha & Logy easily offsets the previously mentioned issues. Once again utilizing the franchise staple time limit, Escha & Logy takes place (when certain objectives are met) over a four year span, with the first three following a schedule of tasks that are to be reported by the end of each period ( 3-4 months) while the final year is more or less wide open to the player. There is typically one primary objective with each period that must be completed, but these are so easy that you’ll generally complete them in only a week or two.The Last Kids on Earth & The Staff of Doom Switch NSP

Leaving the remainder of the period open to focus on the plethora of sub-objectives and for creating powerful alchemical items and equipment. Completing specific tiers of objectives will provide bonuses in the form of alchemy recipes, stat boosts, and even cosmetic options. Even the secondary objectives, however, are pretty easy to fulfill well within the time limit if you’re efficient with time management.

Presentation and Performance

Although the graphical jump between Ayesha and Escha & Logy isn’t as striking as Meruru to Ayesha was, it is still appealing and does feature a few subtle improvements. Character designs are unique, varied, and the colorful art in general compliments the lighthearted feel of the experience quite well. Combat animations are often over-the-top but in a genuinely impressive sense – most special attacks look and feel amazing! The Legend of Heroes Sen no Kiseki I Kai Thors Military Academy 1204 Switch

The music, unfortunately, is pretty forgettable though, with only a few tracks standing out among the underwhelming majority. The English voice acting also seems to be a step down in quality in comparison to Atelier Ayesha, but it can always be turned off or switched to Japanese, if necessary. Performance-wise, the game fares better than most of the Atelier titles I’ve played recently and is relatively stable with its framerate.
