Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky DX is an improvement over the first installment in the Dusk Trilogy, but still implements the time management mechanic that hampers the exploration immensely, which goes against most of what the game is about.

Atelier Escha and Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky DX gets off to a pretty turgid start with exposition-heavy scenes punctuated with lots of tutorials; however, once it gets its bearings, it's another satisfying tale with two strong lead characters to choose from, a great cast of supporting characters and that deep and satisfying alchemy sat right at the centre of it all, pulling the weaker strands of its gameplay together into a satisfyingly unified whole.
