Atelier Lydie & Suelle – New battle features revealed
Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings is Gust’s latest entry to the heart-warming Atelier series. KOEI TECMO Europe has announced that the game will be released on March 30 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC via Steam.
In this game you’ll follow the adventures of sisters Lydie and Suelle through majestic landscapes within mysterious paintings, in their quest to become skilled alchemists. The girls will travel through many colorful locations, and encounter both great surprises and some unfriendly foes. The sisters will need to use everything in their arsenal to overcome their opponents, including alchemy. But alchemy is not the only tool at Lydie and Suelle’s disposal, as up to eight quirky companions can help them out in their encounters.
The sisters can synthesise Battle Mix or Extra Mix potions using alchemy; Battle mix can enhance weaponry with elemental imbues or cause a drastic change to the battlefield conditions, and Extra Mix can improve abilities or even add new characteristics. Experimenting with various ingredients can lead to impressive outcomes, with plenty of different items to match each player’s unique gameplay style.
The new new Combination Battle mechanic will enable each of the four characters to partner up with another and form a strong unit, which can effectively engage enemies in melee and provide support at the same time. The four characters at the front of a pair will focus on dealing close-quarters blows to the opponent, while the four characters at the back are carefully analyzing the enemy attacks and can jump in to defend and support as needed. Carefully selecting the right duo that matches the player’s preferred playstyle is a key element of the game; the right pairing can allow devastating Combination Attacks to be performed in desperate moments!
