PlayStation 3 RPG Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland gets a European release in Spring 2012, publisher Nippon Ichi Software has announced.The 13th game in the Atelier series, it's a sequel to 2010's Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland and this year's Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland.The game, developed by Gust, follows Princess Meruru as she attempts to use the power of alchemy to strengthen her kingdom.Expect classic turn-based battles, a dynamic development system that changes the game's outcome depending on how you use it and returning characters from past entries in the series.Atelier Rorona (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-10-25-atelier-rorona-the-alchemist-of-arland-review) scored a middling 6/10 from Eurogamer's Chris Schilling in October last year."Like labelmate Trinity Universe, Atelier Rorona is a hard game to dislike, but it ultimately feels a little too tied to JRPG convention for its ideas to bear fruit," read his review."It might be admirable for a game to promote such a diligent work ethic, but it never quite rewards you handsomely enough for your efforts."
