Atelier Elie

The academy has traditional shops for armor, weapons, and items. Other characters can be found around the scenery, and some can be invited to join the party. The combat interface shows a portion of the terrain with an overlaid grid, where combatants take turns attacking and defending each other. Items that act as health and attack spells can be created in the academy and added to the arsenal. Characters level up automatically after successful battles. When all party members are defeated, the game returns to Elie's laboratory at the academy.
