Product Information
The third and final installment of Gust's crafting-heavy Arland trilogy, Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland follows the story of Princess Meruru, who decides to become an alchemist after witnessing the work of Totori Helmold, the heroine from Atelier Totori. This new focus in life takes Meruru outside of her castle walls to meet new friends, overcome obstacles, go on adventures, and solve mysteries. Battles are once again party-based and take place from a third-person perspective, with each character offering special moves, support attacks, and assists.<br><br>Cel-shaded visuals, turn-based battling, and item synthesis remain core components of the gameplay in Atelier Meruru, but the ultimate goal of the game is to help the land of Arls develop and advance to become part of the larger world of Arland. Players have a number of different options when developing Arls, but doing so is a fairly straightforward process. Gamers get requests from citizens and then synthesize the needed items, in turn earning development points that can be used to construct new facilities, raise the kingdom rank, increase the population, and unlock new locations.Product Identifiers
