Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland is a cutesy, cel-shaded title. Which will have you franticly trying to finish your missions before the 90 day time period is up. Read our review to get the full low down on this title.

The eleventh entry in Gust’s niche alchemy franchise is also the first to be released for the PlayStation 3, utilizing 3D graphics in place of the series’ traditional 2D sprites. A direct sequel was released in Japan earlier this year, but I guess the Western publisher has been too busy not dubbing cinematics to keep up. That’s not to say that The Alchemist of Arland hasn’t been given star treatment when it comes to design, but the localization efforts could have been a little more thorough. Still, I think JRPG fans will be in for a bit of a surprise with this one, as I most assuredly was.
