Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana is a console role-playing game developed by Japanese developer Gust for the PlayStation 2. This game is the first one of the PS2 Atelier Iris saga. The Atelier strategy RPGs have been released on various consoles in Japan since 1997. Despite its long run and popularity in Japan, Atelier Iris is the first of the series to be released in the U.S.; this release and the English translation are by NIS America. The series has long revolved around the game's item creation and customization systems; Iris boasts more than 300 creatable items.

Unlike its predecessors, however, item synthesis is not the main focus of the game. Instead, Atelier Iris has a more traditional RPG battle system, augmented by its item creation side quests that add many more hours of gameplay. In this system, players can use "recipes" written by shopkeepers and the many items throughout the world to create new and powerful items and unlock hidden scenes. The item creation aside, Atelier plays much like any other RPG, including puzzle solving, random battles and leveling. Atelier Iris' most striking feature is the game's 2D sprite graphics.
