Blue Reflection - a good replacement for the next Atelier with cute heroines, deeper characters and not a bad storyline. If it were not for pauses in the gameplay, problems with graphics, repetitive tasks and battles, this game would have deserved a completely different score.

Blue Reflection has minor issues here and there but it tells its story well with likable characters, well-integrated mechanics, solid combat and a unique magical girl style.
Blue Reflection, which has some strong artistic assets, can be an entertaining game for RPG newcomers or players who are not afraid of redundancy. It could have been a really good J-RPG for everyone, but it's hard to figure out what's its audience is.
There's a bud of good ideas present in Blue Reflection. Unfortunately, it spectacularly fails to blossom.
In the end, I feel like Blue Reflection had some good things going for it.
