Koei Tecmo has brought Japanese studio GUST's cult RPG Atelier Ayesha Plus to the west on PS Vita.

It follows Ayesha Altugle, a lonely girl who works in a herbalist's workshop, as she attempts to rescue her sister Nio who she is convinced is still alive.

It has a turn-based battle system in which the distance between your party and their enemies plays a role.

Also a big part of the battle system is using items. And only Ayesha is able to them during combat.

The game started out life as the PS3 game Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk, released in 2012. That was then released in English in 2013.

Last year, GUST brought a "Plus" version of the game to Vita. It's the English version of that you can buy for your Vita in Europe as of today (North America got it yesterday).

This Plus version has English and Japanese audio, new bosses, new costumes, a Hard mode, and Album missions that unlock exclusive costumes and other features.

Plus, if you purchase it before February 10th 2015 then you'll get bonus costumes. You can see them above.

You can purchase Atelier Ayesha Plus for €39.99 on the PlayStation Store right now. Check out its website for more information.
