PC Controls in Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key

by Mike Alexander / Articles, Atelier Game, Game Controls & Hotkeys / 22 Mar 2023

Many years ago, I enjoyed a certain kind of game I felt I needed to keep secret. Perhaps you’ve heard of them, they’re called anime games. Yes, I know, it’s silly to feel ashamed of them now that they’re so universally popular, but things weren’t always that way. In the early 2000s, I couldn’t explain to my friends why I was so excited about the next YuGiOh game, much less talk to them about the intricacies of Chrono Cross.

Thankfully, things have turned around for the better, and anime games now enjoy a much larger, shame-free following. The anime games community is also very welcoming, and a new addition to the genre is already making waves. It’s the epic conclusion to the Atelier Ryza series, Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key!

In this explosive & colorful JRPG, players will meet up with Ryza and the gang one more time as they investigate the mysterious new Kark Isles. One thing I’m extra excited about is the massive interconnected areas that can be traversed without loading screens, a first for the series. As if that wasn’t enough, there are eleven total party members you can fight and learn alongside. Everyone needs friends!

If you’re as excited to jump into this anime adventure as I am, you could probably use some help. Thankfully I have this Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key PC controls guide. It has all of the game’s controls neatly organized for you, so when you need a little bit of a refresher to your memory you can just pop this open and take a look. Or better yet, leave the page open so you can switch to it while you play!
