Here’s a look at the game, via Koei Tecmo:

Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream continues the story of the many adventures of Sophie and Plachta. After leaving Kirchen Bell, Sophie’s hometown, the couple discover a huge tree identical to the one Plachta had seen in a dream, and as they get closer, a mysterious vortex draws them inside.

Sophie wakes up alone in a curious new world called Erde Wiege, and it doesn’t take long before she hears about an alchemist named Plachta who lives on the outskirts of town. Surprisingly, when Sophie arrives at the workshop, she meets a young alchemy enthusiast named Plachta, and even though the alchemist has the same name as her friend, she does not recognize Sophie.

What other surprises await Sophie on this trip? As the adventure continues, Sophie meets the budding alchemist, Ramizel Erlenmeyer, who readily agrees to help her when needed. The story elegantly unfolds with a charming new visual style that combines the art of Mysterious sub-series with the high quality graphics and animations featured in 2021 Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends and the Secret Fairy.

In her journey to find her missing friend, Sophie will have to fight the many monsters that inhabit the lands of Erde Wiege. As soon as players encounter an enemy in the field, the battle begins instantly with no load times or separate screens – a series first – allowing battles to unfold seamlessly. Additionally, Battle Groups now consist of six members, including three in the front and three in the rear, to form two teams that cooperate in multi-linked turn-based battles. This new combat system unlocks a wide range of exciting combat strategies that players can use to take down their enemies.

As with the previous entries in the Workshop series, alchemy plays a huge role in Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream. The game relies on the panel synthesis system featured in the Mysterious sub-series, where materials are placed in the panel slots to create new items. The game allows aspiring and veteran alchemists to synthesize items in a way that is comfortable for them through two different types of panels: regular panels make it easier to create items, while restricted panels are complex to master but allow to use items with more powerful effects. be synthesized.
