Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator

I really enjoy this game and its mechanics are interesting. The characters are fun and most of the gameplay is forgiving, even you mess up potions and recipes. It's not a perfect game - but most of my gripes are fixable if the devs ever come back to this game: - The alchemy bench equipment NEEDS to be upgradable. The UI implies that's a thing the devs were planning since you can click on shop upgrades, but I was constantly wishing for a better mortar and pestle to not grind so much, a better spoon to not constantly stir, a better bellows for heating the mixtures, etc. Especially in the late game, since it becomes exponentially more grindy. - The ending is currently underwhelming. It's so much work to make the philosopher's stone and salt. Yes, you can continue playing the game, but why would I? Once those are done, there's nothing to really progress towards and it's very Cookie Clicker-esque. - The succubus is such a cool character since we see her development over the days and helping her. We get stories from other characters, but they're not as rewarding. I'd love to see more characters developed like her AND/OR rewards for completing certain character arcs. Like a cutscene, in-game collectible, or alchemy bonus. "You completed Dave the Diver's arc, all water-based ingredients are 20% more potent!" "You befriended the barkeep and have learnt some trade secrets - part of the wine base map has cleared itself of hazards!" - I've played two long runs around 80-something days each. I've not encountered one customer asking for a potion with curse or necromancy effects, but it may because my shop is too "good." The game leans towards the player having good reputation though and customers can want bad potions for good reasons - like when they buy poison. - Customers ask for potions with additional effects, but they never really care about WHAT additional effects. We're always making weird little potions for the legendary recipes, but they're not used outside of that. Potions that fill both health and mana, complete magical effect shield potions, rage + strength, agility and invisibility, etc. As much work as we put into the potions and giving them interesting bottles, names, and effects, they never get used. Again, though, Potion Craft is a good game. It's fun to play - I've even returned to it after a few playthroughs. It just needs some more polish.

Masterpiece

Muito bom! Recentemente descobri que dá para mudar o nome das poções e adicionar descrições. À poção de libido, dei a descrição de "chá de calcinha". Achei ótimo, a Rebolah já comprou três.

Il gioco è molto carino e graficamente semplice, richiama lo stile medievale alla perfezione; un ottimo modo per passare il tempo e raggiungere gli obbiettivi prefissati. Non è tutto intuitivo, il "rifiutare" di svolgere una pozione, sembra che sia punitivo per la reputazione ma non è così. Non bisogna soddisfare tutti i clienti, soprattutto quelli con scopi poco nobili. Anche la creazione delle pozioni non è proprio chiarissima a primo sguardo, ma con un po' di pratica si va belli spediti. Consiglio di fare fin da subito (se possibile) le pozioni Tier III per facilitarsi la vita. Seguire tutorial online per raggiungere le pozioni serve fino ad un certo punto, perchè dipende dal proprio rifornimento. Forse aumentando la complessità pecca troppo di laboriosità.

Stupidly fun puzzler, shop sim, and fantasy game. Can't get enough. Best game I've played, besides Valheim.
