KOEI TECMO America today released the first trailer for Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea telling the tale of the two Shallies as they begin their voyage to find a resolve for the people of their dying homeland. The trailer shows the alchemists trudging through both barren and beautiful lands, encountering foes in the new battle system and performing alchemy in the updated Synthesis system. Screenshots were also released, highlighting the Synthesis and Battle system, and various lands as they discover relics and additional event scenes. More information can be found at the newly launched website: www.koeitecmoamerica.com/shallie.
Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea closes the final chapter in the Atelier Dusk series and is the incarnation of features developed based on community feedback of the previous Dusk titles and new systems that combines ease of entry for newcomers, with the choice to advance gameplay for long-time fans. The battle system will incorporate strategy and speed, the time management system will be free from restrictions allowing for unlimited play time and Alchemy RPG fans can look forward to a straightforward menu in the engaging Synthesis system.
In Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea players choose to play as either the reserved, mission-focused Shallistera, daughter of a tribal leader who embarks on voyage to find a solution to a crisis affecting her homeland, on behalf of her ailing father or ambitious, energetic Shallotte, who has been struggling to bring success to the alchemy workshop since the passing of her father. While their personalities and appearance are drastically different, they both share the nickname “Shallie” and uncover the reasoning why along each of their journeys— the dual main character system has been improved with separate stories and multiple endings for Shallistera and Shallotte.
For the first time in the Atelier series, Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea will include a 360 degree camera, giving players more freedom as they explore a vast world map that has expanded greatly with many new environments that evolve based on how the player progresses. In the new Quest system players can either take on only assignments necessary to progress the game or earn more points engaging in additional, more challenging quests. Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea will available for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system on March 10, 2015 for $49.99. This game has not yet been rated by the ESRB.
