Alchemy of the Earth

An interesting game, meditative. Stripped down but in a way that really works well when combined with the narration and relatively low-pressure gameplay, relaxing without being mindless. A little rough around the edges, but nothing that really got in the way. I'm not normally a big fan of crafting games but the system of getting elements out of gathered items instead of just the items itself helps alleviate the tedium while adding an interesting extra layer to manage. Definitely a neat game

I'm generally not a fan of open world games, but Alchemy hits just a little bit different. It's clear that Tamalpais has put a lot of care into crafting the game world, and as other reviews have said, distills the simple joy of wandering the world, collecting flowers, and maybe torching a skeleton or two along the way.

A chill indie experience. alchemy, exploration, and some light combat

Great game for chillin, wandering around collecting flowers, crafting stuff. There are some enemies but they're not a big deal. Very literary, my brain is too smooth for the metaphors but I'm pretty sure they're there.

[h1]简介[/h1] 《Alchemy of the Earth》是一款第一人称的角色扮演游戏，而且这款游戏总让人想起一些“旷世神作”，因为他们都有着相同的优缺点。虽然这款游戏的画面略显古早，但在一些细节上还是有些独到的地方，比如环境的营造还是有点那种味道的。初次进入游戏虽然会觉得画面有点粗糙，但玩久了其实觉得这种画面还是有点特别的风格味道的。 [h1]玩法[/h1] 本作有一个非常有趣的炼金系统，连带的采集，收集、分类，然后调配药水。在游戏世界中的探索，除了可以看到这个是充满活力的世界外，在就是漫山遍野可以收集的各种草药了，目光所及之地，基本都有能采集的草药，作为炼金系统的最基础材料，接下来就是草药的研磨搭配了。初看炼金的玩法很简单，其实还是有些深度的，在混合材料，反复搭配调试的阶段，最终制作出可以使用的药水，这应该就是本作最内核的玩法了。而且这套系统也给了玩家一些创造空间，有些药水的搭配会在自己的调试时由玩家创造出来，因为时第一人称的玩法，所以游戏的战斗也类似第一人称射击那样，但在战斗决定是否能胜利的却是准备的药水是否充裕，在恰当的时机使用药水，是下一次能释放出法术击败敌人的关键，而且法术除了用来攻击，还有一些辅助的功能类的，可以协助战斗或者改变战斗的风格。 [h1]总结[/h1] 总的来说，《Alchemy of the Earth》这款游戏总让我想起一些不太好的回忆，因为和那些神作太像了，因为他们都连最基本的游戏稳定都做不到，掉帧的情况明显且频繁，其他的就是因为第一人称在移动的时候在一个类似开放世界的地图探索，居然会卡住，而且没有提供自助脱卡的系统。不过看到这个有i是作者的处女作品，那这些问题的确是作为一个初入行业很难避免的问题了，剩下的就是看个人的需求，选择是否游玩。 [quote]欢迎关注我们的鉴赏家:[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35402982/]走心评测[/url] ←遵从内心，写出真实感受 欢迎加入我们Steam组:[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ZXPC]走心评测[/url]←点击加入，一起探索游戏的乐趣 喜欢这篇评论，也麻烦点个赞，让更多人能够看到！[/quote]

Needs more work, but not a bad game, needs to fix it's combat system, which is broken, or I'll change my review. Unfinished.

fun to run around, not much to do though

Very enjoyable little game, but seems unfinished. there are still some obvious bugs and unfinished/not working features that haven't been resolved yet, but nothing that's absolutely game breaking, just a little annoying. Overall I'm enjoying it quite a bit and would recommend it, but maybe wait until it's in a better state or on sale.

game has a beautiful world and enjoyable gathering, but major UI and control issues make it hard to progress. Skeletons spawn unfairly, combat is punishing, and the AI feels unfinished. Many menus and sliders don’t work, the game doesn’t pause, and cluttered notifications bury important items. With fixes, it could become something special.
