  7.0

  The saccharine story and an annoying case of characters might end up souring the experience even for RPG aficionados, but if you can get past the overly cutesy presentation, you will find a surprisingly deep crafting system that will challenge even the most seasoned of grinders. This is the kind of title that has niche written all over it in bold, flashing letters, but if this happens to be your flavor of niche, you’re in for quite the treat.

  However, flaws aside, Atelier Meruru Plus: The Apprentice of Arland is a good, solid JRPG that works phenomenally in the portable format. It’s easy to pick up and put down, even though you’ll eventually spend hours of your life on it. Its mission-based format is perfect for long trips on a plane or short trips on the bus. It has a better sense of pacing, more content, and free DLC. If you haven’t tried Atelier Meruru yet, or if you just want to have a version of the game to take with you on the road, then you might want to pick up Atelier Meruru Plus.
