Gust and Koei Tecmo have announced that Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories and the Envisioned Land has sold over 300,000 units. Having launched last week, it’s now the fastest-selling game in the franchise. Comparatively, Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End and the Secret Key achieved the same milestone in about a month.
Atelier Yumia has the biggest development scale in the series, offering a massive open world for players to explore. As Yumia, players explore the ruins of the Aladissian Empire alongside a research expedition to learn more about alchemy (and its role in the kingdom’s downfall). Check out our review for more details.
While it’s scored relatively well among critics, Atelier Yumia has a “Mixed” rating on Steam, with 65 percent of its currently 1,131 user reviews giving it the thumbs-up. Common criticisms include the simplistic combat system (likened to button mashing), the streamlined alchemy, and technical issues. Gust has several updates planned for the future to address some of these – head here for more details.
