About the story
This story begins in a small atelier in the town of Merveille, the capital of the Adalet Kingdom, where two young twin sisters live. They study alchemy while helping their father, an alchemist, to run the atelier, and they share a common dream... ... to run the best atelier in the country. However, there is a big gap between the reality of their abilities and their dream. They have a long way to go yet, and the days flow by while the girls' impatience only grows. On one of such days, the twins' path leads them to a certain painting. Inside that painting, they find a mystical unknown world. A world full of various ingredients for their craft. Perhaps, this chance meeting with a mysterious painting is about to bring them drastically closer to turning their dream into reality...

Critic Reviews
VGChartz
By Thomas FroehlicherThe game system in Atelier Lydie & Suelle is solid, combat is great and the soundtrack is nice, but we could have expected more from a title marking the 20th anniversary of the series.
Gameblog
By Jonathan BushleAtelier Lydie & Suelle': The Alchemist and the Myterious Paintings looks like an efficient and long RPG with some good mechanics but will clearly fail to impress or surprise you (except if we talk about its expensive DLC), as its lacks novelty. If you're a true fan, you'll get what you want. If you're not familiar with the series, you could give it a try with this Switch version.
Niche Gamer
By Caitlin HarperAs a stand alone game or as an entrance to the series, I would highly recommend skipping this saccharine walk through half realized ideas.
GameMAG
By xtrAtelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings is one of the weakest games in the series. There are a number of interesting elements, but it's not enough - the gameplay is too dull.
RPG Site
By Zack ReeseWith its bland story and uninteresting characters, this is a series that is in a dire need of a substantive reboot.
