Last year, NIS America brought the sixth game in Gust's Atelier series to the US. The first title of Gust's to be released in the US, Atelier Iris ~Eternal Mana~ caught on with a lot of fans with its upbeat story, anime-style graphics, and alchemical system. Coming up near the end of this month, NIS America is bringing out the sequel, Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth of Destiny. Patrick's had a chance to take a swing at an early version of the game, so check out his impressions below!
