Fairy Tail 2 (PlayStation 5) Review

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 16:00:39 +0000

Game adaptations for anime are sometimes hit or miss for me. Depending on the anime, I feel like certain adaptations are just overdone. Dragon Ball Z does well, as does One Piece, but a lot are half-baked attempts to capture the source material. In 2024, Fairy Tail had a big year with both Fairy Tail Dungeons and Fairy Tail 2. Fairy Tail 2 is an RPG developed by Gust and published by Koei Tecmo.

Koei Tecmo Unveils Atelier Yumia Combat System

Alexx Aplin — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 16:00:13 +0000

I’m a big fan of the Atelier series and I’m always excited for the start of a new Atelier “saga”. The franchise is usually broken into trilogies or sagas with a specific protagonist. Koei Tecmo has revealed the combat for the next adventure in the Atelier series, starring a new protagonist. Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & The Envisioned Land will be released on March 21st, 2025.

Atelier Marie Remake Announced

As someone who has played every Atelier release that has come to the west, I like to think I know a lot about the series. I have loved the franchise for most of my life now, and it is one of the few RPG franchises that are consistently unique in every iteration. The first game in the franchise, Atelier Marie, never actually came to the west after its initial release. However, Koei Tecmo plans to…

The Atelier franchise has been a favorite of mine for ages, hence the number of Atelier reviews on Phenixx Gaming. However, Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream stands out for a variety of reasons. Certain things are a return to form after the Atelier Ryza games, while other things are improved overall. It is a welcome next stage in the franchise that shows promising signs of…

We’re no stranger to the Atelier series here at Phenixx Gaming. Because of that, I’m usually keeping an eye on the latest developments for the series. Today we’re digging into what I think is yet another genius move by Koei Tecmo, the Atelier Mysterious Trilogy Deluxe Pack.

Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & The Secret Fairy (Switch) Review

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 28 Jan 2021 14:00:36 +0000

The Atelier franchise is an easily overlooked series that I have loved for a very long time. Lisa (Managing Editor here at Phenixx Gaming) got me into the series when I was young, and since then I’ve played practically every single game released in the west. Atelier Ryza 2 carries the series on its shoulders, but brings some new ideas to the table and refreshes some things that didn’t work in the…

Fairy Tail (Switch) Review

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 20:00:02 +0000

Games based on Anime properties are at times a mixed bag. However, games such as Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and a variety of other licensed Anime properties have proven themselves to be a cut above the rest. When I heard that Gust, the developer behind the Atelier series, was doing an Anime adaptation RPG for the Fairy Tail anime, I was intrigued. I was not disappointed either. The Fairy Tail game is…

As many of our regular readers are no doubt aware by now, I am a big fan of RPGs. Keen eyes might also have spotted that I am a fan of the Atelier franchise, in part due to the unique nature of its gameplay. Because of this, when Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness and the Secret Hideout was announced, I was so very excited that I could hardly contain myself. Every Atelier game is a challenge…

Nelke and the Legendary Alchemists (Switch) Review

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 18 Apr 2019 20:00:27 +0000

The Atelier series has been a personal favorite of mine for many years now. Since I played the first game in the franchise to release in North America (Atelier Iris) back on the PlayStation 2, it has made itself known as a solid RPG franchise. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series, the developers at Gust decided to create Nelke and the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World.
