TNS: Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & The White Guardian returns to the series' roots with its intricate synthesis and combat systems.
VGChartz's Thomas Froehlicher: "Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist and the White Guardian is the “other side of the mirror” compared to Atelier Yumia: it's a traditional Atelier game focused on alchemy, management, and having fun with character interactions. It ultimately reminds us how unusual Atelier Yumia was, meaning it was a stranger to the series just like Ryza’s odyssey. But Atelier Yumia and Atelier Resleriana are also similar in the way that they're both enjoyable Atelier titles, albeit with very clear shortcomings. Atelier Resleriana possesses strong qualities associated with beloved episodes, and boasts visual progress and prowess, but loses what was brought to the table by Atelier Yumia or even Atelier Ryza 3 in terms of world design, which ultimately makes me question the decision to have two Atelier games debut in the same year."
Nusrat from NoobFeed writes: Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian feels like a party and a new beginning for the series. Following the experimental detour of Atelier Yumia, this entry reassures fans by returning to its roots while still being modern enough to welcome new players.
Atelier Resleriana is a serviceable spin-off that succeeds with its engaging combat and deep alchemy system, serving as a good entry point for newcomers.
