Potionomics

It's actually a good managerial game.

Soo good i can'tt t i love it so much., ., .. ,

The music is relaxing, the potion making process is fun, and there are different difficulty settings and relationship setting for people to test and play how they like. Even though traveling around and buying and doing all the things you need to do can be tedious or can affect the amount of time you have on harder difficulty settings. I still feel this game is a long adventure for those that like to make potions, make friends/ Gf's and Bf's, and like long unraveling stories.

Artwork - 8/10 Gameplay - 7/10 Story - 5/10 Romance - 2/10 Overall: 6.5/10 (I gave a thumbs up, but there needs to be a proper rating system) It's fun in a puzzle sort of way. - The deckbuilding is super simple and actually broken at the late game (to the point where nothing is remotely hard), but I enjoyed coming up with the broken strategy. I shared the deck in the forum and gave the devs some feedback on how to fix it. Hopefully they do. - The potion making can get challenging in the lategame if you want to try and make a perfect potion, although you do not need to do that at all to win the game (even in hard mode). - The resource management is simple.

The game is fun but it does have it's downsides. In a playthrough you won't see probably even half of the cards available. It does make you work with what you have which is great, but I don't think I got a single gold card through both Classic and Capitalism playthroughs. There are also parts of the game you can entirely ignore and not have it affect your playthrough, and I would even venture to say trying to figure them out and use them would be a detriment rather than helpful. Once you hit endless mode the game intrigue is basically dead, so while you can get all of those new cards the bartering mechanic doesn't feel as interesting. But, most of my gripes are about end-game stuff, until that moment the game is very fun.

I don't usually review games and I am usually more of a fan of Rimwolrd or Factorio. However, this game is fun, challenging, funny and addictive (in the best of ways). I personally love the deck building mechanics, searching for the best potions, all spiced up with some delicious drama and character building. Love it and 100% recommend.

面白い。気づけば10時間以上もプレイしていた。 販売時の値段交渉がカードバトルになるのが斬新で良き。

Super fun combo of game types! Playing on the hardest difficulty is also surprisingly hard for an indie/chill kind of game. Over all solid 9/10! Towards the end the game loses a little bit of gas and the story beats are a bit cliche but the overall gameplay loop is very very enjoyable!
