WTMG's Fernando da Costa: "Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg may be an oldie, but there’s absolutely no disputing that it’s a goodie. The ease with which everything functions is quite beneficial to children as it’s easily understood, allowing them to enjoy it suitably. It’s the ideal introduction to the franchise before embarking on those more involved. I loved the gameplay loop of repeatedly jumping into New Game+ to uncover unlockables. You’d think redoing the same five years would wear thin, but it’s the contrary. I wasn’t ever bored, and I’d attribute that to how bite-sized these areas are. The linearity was also grossly helped because my destination was always in sight. When I logged off to write this review, only one thought was on my mind: a petition for Koei Tecmo to remake the other Atelier titles."
CCG writes - "Atelier Marie Remake: ~The Alchemist of Salburg~ is a charming remake of the very first Atelier title that those outside of Japan never got to play. It has all of the fundamentals that the series has kept ever since, and yet is quite simple and bare-bones in many ways that I find absolutely delightful. With that said, it's nearly a full-priced game that I beat in around twelve hours. So, if you are willing to keep beating the game to unlock all of the endings, then I'd say it's worth the price. If you are more likely to play it once and that's it, then I would encourage you to wait for a sale. It's a fun if simple game, and if you've wanted to check out the series but don't know where to start, there is literally no better possible option than the very first game!"
Today Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the first half of the fiscal year, including the period between April 2023 and September 2023.
“Although it takes an understandably simplistic approach to the familiar gameplay, there's so much to love about Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg that any fan of the series will absolutely adore almost every second of playtime.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
