I was originally drawn to Atelier Annie because of the wacky trailer — it showed item creation, resort management, turn-based role-playing and a healthy dose of minigames on the side. It looked different from your run of the mill video game. While it doesn’t fully meet my expectations, it still provides a fun and unique (albeit niche) experience, especially now that the Nintendo DS is quite a few years old and doesn’t have as many innovative games being released.So, what exactly is the main focus of the game? Well, you are a little alchemist named Annie who was forced to enter an alchemy competition to build up a resort on an island, and in the end do well enough to win the title of “meister”. How do you accomplish this? By making a plethora of items, of course! Your stay on the island spans three years, and every six months a contest will be held. These contests give you a chance to show off your item creating skills, and you will be awarded a bronze, silver or gold medal and prize money depending on how well you do.So, as you can see, the game basically revolves around item creation. But it’s how you get those items that make the game fun. You will have to find gathering spots and collect a ton of materials, and while you are there you will encounter enemies. Basically, the game is part turn-based rpg. It’s a simple aspect of the game, but it’s still quite fun to obsess over all the details of weapons and armor and leveling up, just as with more complicated rpgs.Aside from.

I wonder who the psychologist who said that children must be rewarded even when failing to learn as to not to have an emotional scar for life. I find that kids today aren’t any smarter, or more intelligent. Just a lot more snottier, more rude, and extremely lazy. Just like our protagonist Annie, a lazy girl who dreams of riches not by working, but by marrying.A lot of reviews are saying that battles are simplistic, that there are too many tasks to do in a limited time, and that you are basically overwhelmed by item creations with unreasonable deadlines, and … not much else. Of which, I say, “That’s right!”However, have you consider the fact that just because a certain game shares a name, doesn’t mean that it’s the same game? Final Fantasy series is the most blatant example. That being said, what is Atelier Annie all about? Well, it’s about doing a lot of tasks in a limited time. Just like what other reviewers are saying. Does that make it a fun game? Not really. That is why the developer is wise enough to put in an extremely funny story with off-the-wall characters. The dialogs are really funny! The Japanese voice-over is a plus. A lot of time, translated voice acting is done poorly, so that the emotional content is lost. And that’s what’s important. You don’t need to understand Japanese to enjoy it. I was half-way through the game before I noticed!The game is perfect for children. The monsters are cute. The characters are comparable to the ones from Nickelodeon. Think Spon.

I like the game so far but the biggest problem is everyone is speaking in japanese! I really wish they could’ve dubbed it for us. But it’s still a good game. ^_^

I love this game. I ended up playing it all the way through three times.The battles are not that great, and kind of seem tacked on for no good reason. But if you enjoyed the synthesizing in other Atelier games, you will enjoy this, too.Just be warned that you might have to play it a few times to get the best ending. :D
Aaron Moody –
excellent

I’m over 40 and I had a lot of fun with this game. I just wish there had been more variation in the graphics and choices possible. I found one androginous person in the story to be a very thoughtful choice to add to the story line. Very forward thinking

Atelier Annie: Alchemists of Sera Island for the Nintendo DS is the first in the Atelier series from developer Gust to make it to North America. If you are familiar with other Gust games, such as the Mana Khemia series, you will be acquainted with the process of traveling to various areas of Sera Island and collecting items for synthesis. After gathering the natural materials, the player returns to home base and combines the items into something new. That is the basis of alchemy. Most of Atelier Annie’s charm can be derived from its wacky characters and storyline. Our heroine is lazy, selfish young girl named (whatelse) Annie. She loves nothing more than staying in bed all day and dreaming of ‘marrying up’ so she’ll even have to work a day in her life. Fed up with her attitude, her grandfather sends her to Sera Island where she will learn alchemy, take part in a contest to make the island into a fun resort, and just maybe make her social climbing dreams come ture. From the slave driving fairy Pepe, who doesn’t know he’s short, to the machine and pretty girl obessed Kyle, the citizens of Sera Island are sure to give you a laugh. The only voice acting is in the orginal Japanese, which may put off some gamers, but I found it charming. Battles in this game are turn based, with monsters having the first crack and then the player, with up to three members, can let go with basic attacks. Nothing to fancy. Mostly, you’ll be managing resorts you build by fulfulling requests.
