52 of 52 · most liked firstHas potential but the learning curve is really steep, the mechanics need more explaining and more polishing in my opinion. Not sure if the story is meant to be like this but it would be way more engaging if it was told through text instead of anime which seems to be missing scenes At this time the game is rather cheap to buy but rather simple, loot everything, level up, quest to open next zone, kill stuff or boss, unlock next zone with some puzzles, only 1 NPC that is there for no actual…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've tried the game due to a friend's request, and, for my surprise, I had a great playing it. Personally, I do prefer simpler, arcade games. This is not exactly the case of this game: there's plenty of skills, options, things, on a book. I'm not exactly found of this, since I'm lazy, dumb, and my attention span is waaaaay worse while on quarantine. But, spoiler alert, my friend indicated me the game because of it's theme: an adventure game with a deeper meaning with a focus on discovery. I'm…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm a little torn on this one. I like the actual concept and graphic style but it just isn't implemented well. The story is boring and the cutscenes annoying. The gameplay is ok but they could have done a lot more with it. As is, the potion system is really just overcomplicated. Other than for healing and a couple situations where haste is useful you really don't need to make any special potions. Combat is tedious, not requiring strategy but just keep dodging and throwing the same potions…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had fun with the first eight hours or so with the game, even if things were a little buggy and unclear, with blind leaps into poison clouds in order to progress. After getting stuck multiple times at the foundry, and having a frustrating encounter with a dragon boss with not enough citrine for healing potions, seemingly dropped far rarer than gold ever did, I quit the game to recuperate. When I returned, I found myself in rags, no sword, no potion vials, none of the elements that I had…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The UI is too complex and obtuse to get into all the mechanics in this game. It isn't taught to the player very well. The story feels like its grafted on and just an excuse to bring the player from one area to another. The writing is weak. There's a lot of depth behind all this, but I didn't think its worth the time to experiment and watch guides just to figure out how to use the most basic mechanics in the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Says Shared Screen Co-op but can't play co-op, dear god... How to waste your time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have big nostalgia for 3D ♥♥♥♥♥♥ graphics games, but this aint for me. - The game looks cheap wich is not a big deal but is a downside by itself, - Story seens simple-minded, - Characters dont stand out, - Gameplay doesnt have any enjoyable aspects, there is very good ideas but they are not implemented well. - A lot of Bugs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Usually I don't jump into early acces games, especially not when they're out for just a few days. However, the steam demo week introduced me to this game and I liked it! Couldn't wait to continue once I noticed it was in early acces a few days later. I really do recommend this game to other players, at least give it a shot. Important to note is that the devs are really open for improvement and suggestions/tips on their steamgroup Being an alchemist with amnesia is, well, confusing. Along…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is nice but currently is unplayable, too many bugged enemies that are invincible blocking your progress, it's frustrating, so many wasted hours, had to abandon the game, NOT RECOMMENDED
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →EA Action RPG + potion making + gameplay = Adventure into the realm of alchemists and explore Isur's 4 regions. Throw potions at enemies or environment, collect elements, solve puzzles and much more! [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35180752-3-point-play/] Follow our curator for similar games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I see great potential in this game. To any prospective buyers; this is early access and should be considered of 'demo' length. I completed it in just under 3 hours (and I spent a lot of time exploring, collecting, and upgrading). For any other early access game I'd probably ask for a refund based on this, but this one is so well implemented that I can't bring myself to do so. When the rest of the game is added I would recommend this at £20-25 if it's the same quality as what I've seen so…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite rough. Mechanically complicated but yet quite simple in the moment-to-moment gameplay. Also there's something about the animated character portraits that doesn't match the aesthetic of the rest of the game. Maybe I'll come back to this later with when it's further along.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →'Alchemist Adventure' is a 3D Action-Adventure, Puzzle game in which you play as a young heroine named Mya on a quest to solve the mystery of her forgotten past. It is probably best that I am writing this review after the release of numerous patches that fixed some serious issues that originally plagued the game on release. While the game is still far from perfect, it offers players an interesting mix of adventure and puzzle-solving while telling an engaging and intriguing story. The gameplay…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a homage to classic games. Do you remember back in the day you played games on SNES or Sega Genesis that you need to explore and solve puzzles? Alchemist Adventure is about that. The game challenges you in many ways. In combat or puzzle, you are always discovering new ways to fight against enemies or how to solve the puzzle in a area of map. I think the story is not so great, but is not bad either. However, the plot regarding Mya is awesome and I wished I could have explored more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Open world RPG adventure. Lots of monsters to battle, interesting places to explore, ingredients to mix spell potions, puzzles to solve and level up grinding to do. Definitely worth losing time in. https://youtu.be/-wgOR32uttk
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been waiting for this game for a long time, it's really satisfying to see how the devs are happy with the launch and proud of their work. I'm really happy for them! The game in itself is really fun, there are some balancing issues regarding the difficulty options (It's basically artificial difficulty, the enemies turn into "bullet sponges" and deal more damage) and most of the combat can be exploited by just using your bombs and running around evading enemies. Despite it's simplicity, the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(EA Review) the game has a lot of in-depth in terms of the story, the customization, how the mechanic works and the interaction with A LOT of things in the game are amazing and everything feels smooth, once you get the hang on the game and you start turning intro a true alchemist (using potions and casting blazing tornados and such), you are going to love it, the only part that is a con for me is: the game not being fully released yet. The game has a lot of potential and lots of room to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alchemist Adventure is a really fun and beautiful adventure to embark on. There are a lot of elements in the game and the developers really managed to make them interesting and meaningful. The fact that the game is in Early Access means that it's only going to get better and more polished. I can't wait to see the updates for the game! Totally worth buying at full price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Baboo is strong, fast, and handsome! Sadly Baboo didn't make this game. really wish to like it but, too much flawed and bugged. The alchemy mechanic is really good on paper, particularly about crafting potion on the go rather than staking it beforehand memorizing specific and custom recipe, but 10 elements are too much, player spend most of the time in the quick menu constantly swapping premade potion for puzzle, you can have JUST one potion active per type in the quick slot this mean keeping…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing on Ubuntu 18.04 with Vulkan and Proton without any major issues. The one intro video doesn't play properly (it's the one that's also on the store - with the great music) but all the cutscenes in game work fine. You can use Proton GE and even that plays fine too. Sometimes the game starts and shows a black screen, but hitting alt-tab or the super key will make everything show properly after that. The game is pretty fun! There are lots of neat things find and lots of exploring and story.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a lot more fun than I was expecting just from looking at it. I'm a sucker for anything that has to do with alchemy, so I was interested, but I was honestly anticipating something mediocre. But I was pleasantly surprised that I was proved wrong. The alchemy system is fun in itself, but the elements also react with the environment and create different effects and combos in combat. The puzzles, bits of lore/story, and exploration are nice too. For early access and the cheap price,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I haven't played this too long, but already it's made an impression. The animations, while a little stiff, do not detract from the fact that this game clearly has a lot of love put into it. The graphics, lighting, and design all show heart, showcasing a whimsical idea. The story has the makings of a mystery, and the combat and puzzle solving show great promise. I'm gonna watch this one closely, and enjoy it as new things develop, as I love and support indie works wherever I find them.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Clunky, tedious and an inconsistent artstyle. These are my biggest issues with this game. Let me explain a bit deeper below. Clunky and Tedious Honestly this is a bit of a headscratcher for me. In this game you pick up ingredients to craft potions. These ingredients are single use. The potions are used for combat and puzzles. The reason I call it tedious is because you can run out of the resources to craft potions. This means you have to go back to the menu a lot if you want to actually use…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very nice game. ---------------------- Story 6/10 (meah..) Skills/Combo 8/10 (good, Ombo combo) Graphics 5/10 (nothing special..) Optimization 8/10 (frame drops) Difficulty 9/10 (late in game) Recommended? Yes, if you like puzzle games.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lovely game, entertaining but deep. There is challenge and exploration, always learning and growing. The Alchemy system is very ambitious + great animated cutscenes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent Alchemy System with thousand combinations! Craftable equipment, lot to explore, puzzles, and an adorable Heroine! Recommended!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't get that long into it, but I'm already INTO it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →O jogo esta muito bonito, algumas coisas ainda precisam de polimento, como algumas animações, e bugs, mas nada que quebre a imersão. Recomendo explorar com calma, pois cada pedaço de armadura faz falta no final. a combinação de poções é bem feita, e em determinados casos, ajuda absurdamente. A história do game é bem legal so gostaria de ver mais efeitos sonoros e conversas, principalmente em algumas cutcenes. O coop ainda me parece bem bugado, joguei com meu filho de 4 anos, e percebi que em…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/zGR7a7aoPqU Heavy menu focus to craft potions with a reliance on collecting numerous limited ingredients greatly pulls down the pacing.

unlabelledView post →Alchemist Adventure is a perfectly fine puzzle-adventure game that really shines in its core mechanic: free-form alchemy. I loved that there were no predefined recipes; just tossing elements together to see what potion, bomb, or oil I would create was genuinely engaging and satisfying. The game ran flawlessly on my Steam Deck OLED Handheld PC, even when the game is installed on a Micro SD card. It's a great title for handheld play, with controls that feel natural and a pace that suits short…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →at first, i thought the man (blonde or white hair) in image previews would be a companion, unsure why i thought that at time i got the game but i did, but that turned out otherwise, and its okay. regardless, i almost hate this game, so frustrating and almost obnoxious. every step needs every other element you have, and only two slots that able to throw from, and keep on switching elements, it can't just let it be making this rock go down with "mud" element and just proceed through, have to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Maybe it gets good. Maybe sometime down the line all the crap I collect is worth it to use and I can get out of the menus and tutorial dumps. But I didn't make it there. I only made it as far tutorials and a collectathon of materials that you randomly pick up and can add in to your list of crap to just make stuff happen I guess. It's boring and spends way too much time in full screen tutorials of words explaining mechanics you won't interact with for hours.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Way to complicated.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to like it because it looks charming and the alchemy system is good in theory. Some elements work well. And aside from difficulty spikes, it's mainly the menus and usability that kill it. - using the menu is annoying because it is so slow - metroidvania aspects but the maps have to be found, which is annoying without a map to guide search - accessing the map when having one is annoying - creating potions is annoying because of the menu - switching potions is annoying because of the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →hard to get hooked into the game. Gave up pretty early on cause of sheer boredom.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RANDOM GAME 23/218 This is certainly one of the videogames of all time that once has been made by another human being on this planet called earth where incidentally other videogames by other human beings have also been made that are definitely more fun than whatever this game is.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →too many mechanics to memorize and i just dont like the game. sorry
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alchemist Adventure is a charming action-adventure game with a heavy emphasis on alchemy and exploration. You play as Mya, a young alchemist who awakens on a strange and mysterious island with amnesia. Your goal is to rediscover your past, explore the island's secrets, and master the art of alchemy to overcome the challenges that lie ahead. The core gameplay revolves around exploring the island's varied environments, solving puzzles, and battling enemies using alchemically created concoctions.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is just overall clunky and i can't get myself to be interested enough to continue the story. It doesn't help that the gameplay is not enjoyable for me. I'm not gonna continue this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good, fun game, with so many things done wrong! Can't change difficulty mid game, who still does that? And second bad thing is equipment, you REALLY have to look to find equipment, and if you don't, that alongside not being able to change the difficulty, with some areas' designs, you probably better start a new game with a lowered difficulty or you will have to endure a lot of frustrating fights! Because you are stuck there, until you finish it. Basically, you're screwed, the game starts…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played the Demo, then got it when it went on sale. Have not played much but I am totally enjoying it so far. I was very surprised but happy to learn that it has full controller support. Cannot wait to try it out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game keep it up
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alchemist Adventure is a large action adventure game where you throw potions and slash open your enemies! Collect elements, craft new potions, and solve puzzles in this fun game with great art and calming music. For my full feelings, please see my video https://youtu.be/WTyRvtz5-N4 Thank you
