This year’s Atelier April finally brings us to the Mysterious Quadrilogy, with this week’s episode discussing Atelier Atelier Firis and Atelier Lydie & Suelle. The real mystery is if we will ever get sick of talking about magical girls and alchemy. Given this episode will have a part two, probably not.

On RPG Backtrack, we strive to bring a positive message about video games to the world.  There are times when we play a game so terrible, we just have to complain about it.  After all, sometimes you have to play a bad game to appreciate the good ones.  At least that’s what we tell ourselves to lessen the suffering.

Once upon a time, a strange man in a cave handed a boy a sword. One iconic line and 40 years later, we have Nintendo’s most popular franchise right next to the plumber himself.
