Atelier Resleriana's servers are shutting down on March 28th, less than a year after its global launch. Koei Tecmo announced the end-of-service, citing an inability to maintain their initially established quality standards. In-app purchases will cease on January 27th.
The developers acknowledged ongoing efforts to improve the game and deliver engaging events, but ultimately determined continued operation wasn't feasible. While players can still utilize existing Lodestar Gems, further purchases are unavailable.
This closure isn't entirely unexpected, given the highly competitive gacha market. Atelier Resleriana, despite promising concepts, faced challenges including criticism of its gacha rates and less-than-stellar alchemy mechanics – a core element of the Atelier franchise. While the gameplay was functional, it lacked the engagement to compete effectively.
The developer's announcement on Twitter and Reddit has been met with requests for an offline version, a highly unlikely outcome. Players are encouraged to enjoy the remaining time before the game's closure. For those seeking alternative JRPG experiences, a curated list of the best Android JRPGs is available.
