Cel-shaded visuals, turn-based battling, and item synthesis remain core components of the gameplay in Atelier Meruru, but the ultimate goal of the game is to help the land of Arls develop and advance to become part of the larger world of Arland. Players have a number of different options when developing Arls, but doing so is a fairly straightforward process. Gamers get requests from citizens and then synthesize the needed items, in turn earning development points that can be used to construct new facilities, raise the kingdom rank, increase the population, and unlock new locations.
