Overall Atelier Shallie Plus: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea was a great re-entry into the series for me. Not only is the story a good one, the dialog from both a written and verbal standpoint is highly enjoyable. Best of all, the gameplay is a return to a much more enjoyable and relaxing experience.
A crafty plus size treat which shows the Vita still has great JRPGs - the final part of the Atelier 'Dusk' Trilogy reviewed by PushSquare
Mark: An enhanced version of Atelier Shallie, the 2014 PS3 game, is here for Vita. As a newcomer to the entire franchise, is it worth jumping in here?

"The PS Vita has always seen quite a bit of activity from the Atelier series as Koei Tecmo would release “Plus” versions of previously PlayStation 3 exclusive titles generally within a year and a half of release. This may be coming to an end as the latest set of Atelier games have been released on multiple platforms at the same time but we still have Atelier Shallie Plus: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea. Originally released in the West back in 2015 as the final entry in the Dusk trilogy, how does this game handle on the Vita?"
