Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland DX is the weakest in the trilogy, let down by its poor performance, underwhelming presentation and mixed bag of a narrative.

About
A sequel to Roronoa no Atelier, Totori takes place 10 years after the first game and takes place in the Arland Republic, a fantasy world complete with monsters, knights, alchemists, and adventure. The adventurer is a glorious profession, a lot of teenagers grew up dreaming to become one, this includes Totori and Shino. Yet, unlike other teenagers, Totori has another reason to become an adventurer; she has to find her mother, who went missing during one of the more dangerous missions. Train under Roronoa, learn about item synthesis, go on swashbuckling adventures with your friends and find clues on Totori's mother's disappearance. Soft watercolor graphics, an intriguing cast of characters, Totori no Atelier is a game for the whole family.

- 4.0I simply cannot recommend Atelier Totori for Switch. I can understand why many would love this type of game, and what’s here is the solid basis for a great game, with an at least decent attempt at some of its mechanics. But the sheer unabashed emphasis on busywork is just painfully dull and repetitive. I left the game feeling like if only a few of the mechanics were dropped and the remainder refined, it could be a fantastic JRPG.
- 8.0Personally, I enjoyed it. If I had to give one piece of advice, that would be to say, on your first play-through – try not to be too OCD in your approach. Succumb to the realisation that it’s best to enjoy the ride blindly first- see where your journey takes you. Don’t get caught up in trying to craft the best items, or 100% your trophies.
- 6.0A variedade é bem-vinda mas o custo a que foi implementada não compensa o que se perde, um sistema de alquimia robusto e que passou para segundo plano em relação a um enredo mais baseado no combate e exploração mal passados, acabando por ser uma aventura inferior à do predecessor.
