A title within the ''[[Atelier (video game series)|Atelier]]'' series, the gameplay combines a [[City-building game|city-building]] simulation with [[Role-playing video game|role-playing]] elements. The storyline follows Nelke von Lestamm as she attempts to build her own city while seeking a magical tree, employing legendary alchemists from the ''Atelier'' franchise to aid her. Beginning production in 2017 as a series celebration title, the team included multiple veterans including co-producer Junzo Hosoi, artist Noco, scenario designer Akira Tsuchiya, and composers Kazuki Yanagawa, Daisuke Achiwa, and Ken Nakagawa, and Tatsuya Yano. The gameplay was based on the [[Atelier Marie: The Alchemist of Salburg|original ''Atelier'' trilogy]] with added social and city building elements. Reception of the game was mixed. Praise was given to the music and gameplay mechanics, but its story, graphics and slow pace saw frequent criticism. ROCK ROCK N ROLL, ROCK ROCK ROCK N ROLL, MOUSE!!!

The game follows Nelke von Lestamm as she both investigates the location of a magical tree, and builds up the town of Westwald with the help of characters from across the ''[[Atelier (video game series)|Atelier]]'' series.<ref name="NWRreview"/><ref name="RPGSreview"/> The game is split into two gameplay sections, a five day week dedicated to town maintenance, and a weekend where other activities can be done.<ref name="NelkeManual"/> During the working week, Nelke can create new stores and shops to support the town's economy and produce products based on raw materials provided during the weekend period, with money and items being produced as a result. The shop's produce and quality varies depending on who is put in charge, with only alchemists able to work at ateliers. Building up the town encourages new people to move in, which further allows the town to expand.<ref name="NWRreview"/><ref name="RPGreview"/><ref name="RPGFreivew"/> During the game, Nelke must complete assigned tasks sent to test her ability to grow and manage the town, ranging from getting a certain number of citizens to move in to fulfilling certain item or material requirements. If this task is failed or uncompleted, the player reaches a [[game over]].<ref name="NelkeManual"/><ref name="RPGFreivew"/> During the weekend period, Nelke can engage in social events with different characters to raise her relationships status with them, and embark on "Investigations". These actions are limited by a gauge which is depleted with each option, with the weekend ended either manually by the player or by the gauge running out.<ref name="NelkeManual"/><ref name="RPGSreview"/> Investigations have Nelke and a party explore different dungeon environments to gather materials. Material gathering and movement happens automatically, with both materials gathered, chests found and battles triggered being randomised. Battles have a party of five, with only the game's original characters being player-controlled. Actions include basic attacks, special moves activated by gaining points from attacks and other actions, and using items. Investigations end if either the action gauge runs out, or the player party is defeated.<ref name="NelkeManual"/><ref name="RPGFreivew"/> ==Synopsis== The game follows Nelke von Lestamm, an aristocrat investigating the location of the Granzweit Tree, a plant-like Sage Relic which links to multiple parallel worlds. In exchange for being allowed to continue her research, Nelke's father puts her in charge with managing and growing the town of Westwald, which is said to be near the Granzweit Tree. Soon after arriving, Nelke encounters alchemists from other worlds pulled into her own by the influence of the Granzweit Tree. With help from both the alchemists, and her own servants and allies, Nelke builds up and protects Westwalk into becoming a bustling town. Nelke learns that the Granzweit Tree is imprisoning a monster called Siegel, with its distortion causing the alchemists to appear. Depending on her in-game actions, Nelke either fails to uncover the truth, or destroys Siegel in a final battle which allows the Granzweit Tree to grant its blessing to the land and let the alchemists return home. ==Development== ''Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists'' was developed by the Kyoto Development Department of [[Gust (company)|Gust]].<ref name="4Gcomment"/> The concept was created by co-producers Keisuke Kikuchi and Junzo Hosoi, who were working out concepts to celebrate the series' anniversary following the release of ''[[Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings|Atelier Lydie & Suelle]]'' in 2017.<ref name="4Ginterview"/> Among the concepts raised were a [[Party game#Video games|party game]] and a "love simulation" title.<ref name="GemInfo"/> The concept they settled on was a city building design that would have ''Atelier'' protagonists from across the series with a standalone protagonist.<ref name="4Ginterview"/> The game was directed by Hiroshi Kataoka, and the design team was led by Azusa Takahashi.<ref name="NelkeCredits"/> In contrast to the growing RPG focus of the main series, ''Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists'' was designed to return to the simulation style of the first ''Atelier'' games.<ref name="4Gnelke"/> Based on this gameplay concept, the team created the weekday and weekend structure, with an emphasis on social interaction and automated exploration similar to the ''[[Atelier Marie: The Alchemist of Salburg|Salburg]]'' trilogy.<ref name="4Ginterview"/> Hosoi and series creator Shinichi Yoshiike did not describe the game as a spin-off, with the aim being to create a potential alternative gameplay style for the series as a whole.<ref name="4Gnelke"/> The world design was created by Akira Tsuchiya, who had worked on the scenarios of early ''Atelier'' titles.<ref name="Tsuchiya"/> The scenario and script were written by Tetsu Shirakawa.<ref name="NelkeCredits"/> It was decided from the outset that the lead Nelke would not be an alchemist, which helped inform the gameplay and world. Despite this change, the theme of a young girl achieving her dreams was kept through Nelke's custodianship of the village.<ref name="4Ginterview"/> The idea of characters being drawn in from alternate dimensions allowed the team to unify some of the disparate tones and designs, as different ''Atelier'' subseries had sometimes starkly different artistic and tonal styles. A common underlying theme was kindness, demonstrated by the alchemists pitching in to help Nelke grow her town. While the game featured cameos from alchemist characters across the series with their own episodic interactions, they were not intended to have starring roles.<ref name="DDinterview"/> The characters were designed by Noco, an artist who had collaborated on the character design of the ''Mysterious'' series.<ref name="SilArtsts"/> When she was offered the role of sole character artist, Noco was initially shocked and thought it was a joke.<ref name="DengNoco"/> Nelke was created around the concept of an aristocrat, with her standing out while not being an alchemist.<ref name="4Ginterview"/> Noco created twelve different drafts of Nelke, designing a thirteenth at Hosoi's insistence.<ref name="SilArtsts"/> Due to not being an alchemist, Nelke's design had fewer restrictions for Noco, who had fun with the design and added "sparkle" to emphasise her aristocratic background. Nelke's blue hair was chosen so it did not overlap with other ''Atelier'' protagonists.<ref name="DengNoco"/> The animated opening was created by LandQ Studios, who had worked on other mainline entries.<ref name="Landq"/> ===Music=== The music of ''Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists'' was co-composed by Kazuki Yanagawa, Daisuke Achiwa, Ken Nakagawa, and Tatsuya Yano.<ref name="Composers"/> All were series veterans;<ref name="Composers"/> Achiwa had composed since the beginning of the series,<ref name="OpeningInterview"/> Yanagawa had first composed for the ''Arland'' series,<ref name="EndingInterview"/> Nakagawa had been a composer since the ''[[Atelier Judie: The Alchemist of Gramnad and Atelier Viorate: The Alchemist of Gramnad 2|Gramnad]]'' series,<ref name="Nakagawa"/> and Yano had co-composed for the ''Mysterious'' series.<ref name="Yano"/> Yanagawa described the soundtrack as inspired by and based around Nelke as a character. The soundtrack included a lot of older track arrangements, with the priority being to make them work within the game's world rather than radically changing them.<ref name="EndingInterview"/> The opening theme "Alchemia" was composed by Achiwa and performed by Nakae Mitsuki. Achiwa described the song as a "festival-like theme". The title was chosen based on the game's status as a celebratory title, being a direct thematic reference considered unsuitable for the main series. The chorus incorporated words referencing all nineteen ''Atelier'' titles up to that point, with Achiwa having trouble incorporating references to the earlier ''Salburg'' and ''Gramnad'' titles.<ref name="OpeningInterview"/> The ending theme "Birth" was written and composed by Yanagawa, and sung by [[Haruka Shimotsuki]]. Yanagawa created the theme without the need to emphasise the series' anniversary, which was being done with the opening theme. Shimotsuki had sung for several earlier ''Atelier'' titles, and described the song as initially simple but having a number of cord and key changes.<ref name="EndingInterview"/> A soundtrack album for the game was released on March 26, 2019<ref name="NelkeProducts"/> ==Release== ''Nelke and the Legendary Alchemists'' was first announced in June 2018 for [[PlayStation 4]], [[PlayStation Vita]] and [[Nintendo Switch]].<ref name="GemInfo"/> Originally scheduled for release on December 13 of that year,<ref name="OriginalDate"/> the game was delayed in Japan to January 31, 2019 to allow more development time.<ref name="NewDate"/> It was supplemented with promotional merchandise.<ref name="NelkeProducts"/> In the West, the game was released for PS4, Switch and [[Windows]] through [[Steam (software)|Steam]] on March 26 in North America, and March 29 in Europe.<ref name="WestRelease"/> The Steam version released in Japan on March 27.<ref name="SteamJP"/> [[Koei Tecmo]] acted as publisher in all regions.<ref name="NewDate"/><ref name="WestRelease"/> [[Downloadable content]] was released, covering new music and playable characters, and side stories.<ref name="DLCa"/><ref name="DLCb"/> Nelke was included as a side character in a 2021 expanded release of ''Atelier Lydie & Suelle''.<ref name="NelkeDX"/> ==Reception== {{Video game reviews | MC = PS4: 67/100<ref name="MetaPS4"/><br/>NS: 70/100<ref name="MetaSwitch"/> | Fam = 33/40<ref name="FamScore"/> | NWR = 7/10<ref name="NWRreview"/> | RPG = 2/5<ref name="RPGreview"/> | RPGFan = 73%<ref name="RPGFreivew"/> | PG = {{rating|2.5|5}}<ref name="PGreview"/> | rev1 = ''RPG Site'' | rev1Score = 5/10<ref name="RPGSreview"/> }} During its first week on sale, ''Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists'' sold over 31,000 units across its three platforms. The PS4 version reached sixth place in the charts.<ref name="DebutSales"/> The game received mixed reviews from critics. Review aggregator website ''[[Metacritic]]'' gave a score of 70 out of 100 for the Switch version based on 22 reviews,<ref name="MetaSwitch"/> and 67 out of 100 for the PS4 version based on 10 reviews.<ref name="MetaPS4"/> Japanese gaming magazine ''[[Famitsu]]'' noted the inclusion of characters across the series, though one reviewer found the dialogue lacked depth.<ref name="FamReview"/> Daan Koopman of ''Nintendo World Report'' enjoyed the story and characters,<ref name="NWRreview"/> while ''RPGamer''{{'s}} Sam Watcher enjoyed the character interactions during social events.<ref name="RPGreview"/> Nathan Lee of ''RPGFan'' noted the story's focus on character interactions between the alchemists over the overarching narrative, enjoying those and Nelke's personality.<ref name="RPGFreivew"/> Elizabeth Henges described the story as "nothing particularly special" and was unimpressed by the character cameos,<ref name="RPGSreview"/> while ''[[Pocket Gamer]]''{{'s}} Dave Aubrey simply called it "bland".<ref name="PGreview"/> Koopman praised the music and graphics, though he noted some poor textures and frame rate issues.<ref name="NWRreview"/> Lee enjoyed the animations, but found character model movements stiff, and praised the music and voice acting.<ref name="RPGFreivew"/> Watcher disliked the graphics as cheap-looking and lacking due to minimal animations and low-resolution textures, while he lauded the music for both its original and arranged tracks.<ref name="RPGreview"/> ''Famitsu'' praised the gameplay loop, though there were comments that it could be overly varied and feel grindy.<ref name="FamReview"/> Koopman enjoyed the gameplay overall, finding it an interesting alternative to the mainline ''Atelier'' series, but disliked the slow opening and investigation sections.<ref name="NWRreview"/> Watcher praised the town building mechanics, but disliked the shallow combat and lack of character control,<ref name="RPGreview"/> opinions echoed by Lee.<ref name="RPGFreivew"/> Henges noted the enjoyment that was possible in the different systems, but grew bored with the gameplay due to a lack of progression for hours of game time.<ref name="RPGSreview"/> Aubrey noted an appeal for completionists, but was overall disappointed in its gameplay design, feeling it was an underwhelming low-budgeted title more suited to mobile phones than home consoles.<ref name="PGreview"/> {{-}} ==Notes== {{notelist}} ==References== {{Reflist|refs= <ref name="NelkeManual">{{cite
