Our journey through the Dusk series starts with the first title of the three, Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk.

STORY: Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk To give you an equal impression, this article will have three story sections, followed by only one section of gameplay, graphics and so on as to not repeat itself. Note: This review will highlight the aspects of all three games without going into detail much further than in the story section. Will these three games be enough to set the first step of my long journey as an alchemist? To top it all off, all of the DLC also found its way into the trilogy I am about to review. High-resolution graphics on a next-gen console, smoother gameplay that also promises a better and richer experience when battling or explores the environment. If the three games weren’t enough for the fans, Gust Corporation decided to include the DLC and made some improvements to the series in this trilogy, which was exclusive to their Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita (re-)releases. The trilogy I had given for a review consists of three installments: Alchemists of Dusk, Alchemists of Dusk Sky, and A lchemists Of Dusk Sea. Mainly starting on the Playstation consoles, versions for both handhelds from Nintendo and also Sony had been made as well. Gust Corporation has been developing the series since 1997 – that’s for 23 years now. The franchise of the Atelier games is one that comes with a rich history.
