'Alchemist Adventure' Early Access Update Unlocks More Story, Creatures And Tools - Trailer

by Rainier on Aug. 6, 2020 @ 9:21 a.m. PDT

Alchemist Adventure is an action-adventure game with RPG elements set in the mysterious fantasy world filled with the wonders of alchemy.

Enter a fantasy world waiting to be explored. Follow the story of Mya, a young alchemist trying to solve the mystery of a forgotten land while searching for her loved ones. Solve puzzles and fight monsters using the power of alchemy granted by combining fire, water, air, earth, and many ingredients.

Alchemist Adventure is an action-adventure game that takes place in an abandoned region called Isur. Long ago it was the home of the brilliant and yet dangerous alchemists, but now lies abandoned and devastated. You play as Mya, an alchemist who has just woken up and finds herself in an unknown place, confused and with no memories of what happened. To explore the world you will need to use the power gained through combining the four elements — fire, water, air, earth — along with various ingredients. By making different potions, you will be able to explore the regions, solve alchemical puzzles, and fight dreadful enemies.

For a long time, Isur was the capital of the region ruled by the alchemists, and thanks to the volcano that provided powerful resources, it was a thriving trade port. Ruled by the Council of Seven Master Alchemists, the city was known as a place where you can buy everything and, if you’re lucky, even gain some of the alchemists’ knowledge. Not many were chosen to become alchemists, and the Council always guarded their secrets carefully. Your journey will take place in 4 themed regions that are all connected to the central area.

The The Mysteries of the Homunculi update unlocks more of the action-adventure game’s story, creatures, and tools. Players are also invited to learn more about Mya, the game’s protagonist and the alchemist of the game’s name, as she scours the world, trying to recover her memory. 

Today’s update for the Early Access version of Alchemist Adventure offers players new tools, more locations to explore, several new enemies to encounter and face off against a deadly new boss, the Crystalis.

Alchemy Tools and Elements:

  • New flask: Use the flask to combine elements and materials to create a new type of bomb — the barrier.
  • New element — Water: Use this to craft potions that make ice and produce other effects such as rain and snow.
  • New element — Earth: Create Lava, stone walls, and other earthly effects with this potion ingredient.

Enemies and Bosses:

  • New enemy — Flamefly: This fiery, lava-spewing butterfly is as lethal as it is beautiful.
  • New enemy — Alligator: This humanoid reptile uses its claws, tail, and jaws to make quick work of its foes. 
  • New enemy — Armorsaur: A heavily armored dinosaur-like homunculus, this new enemy was used as a tank during Isur’s wars.
  • New boss — Crystalis: Cute, but incredibly dangerous, this homunculus dragon has crystal claws and can make use of multiple elements for attack and defense.

Locations:

  • New region — Plains: open fields, lakes, and other outdoor features await — along with a new quest!
  • New region — Geysers: Acid lake, lava, and, as the name implies — geysers. While exploring the geyser region, players can expect plenty of puzzles.
  • New region — Homunculi Factory: An alchemy rich region previously used to make new homunculi, it now challenges Mya with element-focused puzzles focusing on earth.

Alchemist Adventure is now available on Steam Early Access for $11.99.

The alchemy system plays a central role in the game and you are free to create your own potions as there are no limitations or predetermined recipes.

To create a potion, you will need to use one or several of the 4 primary elements: fire, water, air, and earth. Combining them and adding special ingredients will open up new possibilities and effects.

Unveil the secrets of the mysterious world and discover your story!

Key Features:

  • Discover the mysterious world — During the game you will travel through different locations, from laboratories and dungeons, to the factory inside a volcano. Each region has many challenges, hidden secrets, different enemies to fight, and lore to discover.
  • Combine elements and make all kinds of potions — Use the four basic elements (fire, water, air, earth) along with special ingredients (from cuprum to nigredo) to create bombs, elixirs, and sword oils.
  • Transform the world around you — Interact with the environment using alchemy. Raise the water level of a lake, cross a river by creating ice platforms, use the wind to move objects, and create lightning to start an engine!
  • Solve alchemical puzzles — Combine elements to open chests, make paths, or find hidden objects.
  • Fight all kinds of monsters — Use elements to discover enemies’ weaknesses and try different strategies to defeat them.
  • Switch between characters or play co-op — Join the journey as a flying homunculus that can fight, solve puzzles, collect resources, and play with a friend!
