Usually, an RPG has stakes higher than an aircraft full of vampire hunters, but in Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg, there's something even worse to face: Exams! This remake of the beloved 1997 game is almost here, and if you've been looking for a preorder deal, then Fanatical has you covered with this discount for the PC version of the game. While it usually has an MSRP of $50 ahead of its July 12 release, you can score a Steam key for just $41.49 right now.

Set in the Royal Academy of Magic, Atelier Marie is a heartwarming game about an alchemist in training looking to earn her qualifications. Marie has to improve her alchemy skills, collect ingredients, and earn money to hire adventurers and buy recipes and utensils before she can take her final test, and between all those tasks, there are quite a few battles to engage in as well. For this remake, the game has received updated graphics, new character designs, revamped illustrations, and brand-new 3D models.

Mechanically, the game has received a big overhaul while also retaining the simplicity and flexibility of the original version. The tutorial and navigation of the game's features have been expanded upon and improved, navigation is now easier when you're exploring the city, and several other quality-of-life changes have been added. With the new Unlimited Mode, you'll even be able to play the game at a more relaxed pace as you explore the world of Atelier Marie.
