Potions: A Curious Tale

Luna is a cute character, but the game is painfully slow, painfully simple and poor Luna is painfully vulnerable to creatures such as hostile mushrooms (or mushdooms?). There are a host of different potions to be made by using a various material discovered - the game strongly focuses here - but even this becomes a little too "routine" after an hour or so game play. I did however like the element of mythology creeping into the picture as more cards were found. Sorry, but I feel the game is unfortunately disappointing and would not recommend.

I liked this game quite a bit at first, but over time i found it a little tiring because it becomes pretty repetitive. even so, it's still a great game and definitely worth giving a chance, who knows, maybe you'll end up getting hooked and playing all the way to the end. the main objective is to explore various magical locations filled with nature while searching for ingredients to brew different potions and throughout the adventure you help people and complete all kinds of quests with varied objectives. The most interesting part is that the game doesn't really have a traditional combat system. instead, you rely on the items and potions you craft in order to survive and interact with the world around you. for example, you can throw fire potions to burn giant spiders, use explosive potions to clear paths blocked by rocks and solve different problems with different potions depending on the situation!!

Heard about this game through social media and was intrigued by the creator's story. I opened a steam account just to be able to play this title and ended up loving the Steam platform so much that I got the Steam Deck. I started playing Potions on my macbook air and it ran with no issues. I enjoyed it even more on the Steam Deck. Relaxing to play with an engaging story. I liked the openness of it but appreciated that some things needed to be competed first before being able to move ahead. Reminded me a little of earlier Zelda titles in that way. Would have liked more potion recipes rather than a trial an error approach; I did not like wasting resources and ended up looking up recipes online. Surprisingly original and fun game!

This is a game made with a lot of love. It's not a very long story and sometimes dialogues feel more like they are trying to get to the point and not immersive. The game also has some bugs and wasn't updated much. However none of the bugs is gamebreaking and the game has a very fun gameplay loop of collecting ingredients, brewing them into potions and then using these potions. While in the middle of a "dungeon" you can literally be out of potions and have no way to defend yourself. The story is not very long and i will say that the game has too many potions considering its length. However the game is small, charming, affordable, adorable and an absolute must play. If you are still not convinced try out the tutorial and see how the creative problem solving playstyle suits you.

This is a fun, cute, cozy action-adventure game. It's not very difficult, though it is not meant to be, so if you want a game that doesn't make you sweat and grind, this is a good one. It invites you to use the environment to help with the combat, so you aren't only throwing potions at enemies. Also, the pacing is good... it's fun to play in both longer gaming sessions and shorter spurts. The level design is solid so far, the soundtrack is FANTASTIC, the other audio and sound effects are good, and the extra collectibles add some depth and extra reward. Finally, who doesn't love a sassy cat for a companion? I really enjoy this game and recommend it to anyone who likes cozy games.

Muito bom. Relaxante, com belas artes, animações lindas e história divertida, com certeza a desenvolvedora colocou muito esforço e carinho. (COM LOCALIZAÇÃO PTBR, TOMA NINTENDO)

I backed the kickstarter. And waited patiently for it to be finished. I then had to wait for my computer to get fixed to play it. But it is a fun and beautiful game that isn't like pulling teeth to play.

A fun, cute game! The combinations were fun to work out and not always resorting to combat made for some clever parts of the game.

That was a bit of fun! Got it on sale. I saw this on tiktok and thought... why not? Could use more content, quests & area's but that's always something in every game. Collection achievements ike 50x, 100x, 1000x of "item". Infinite potion bag/cauldron quest that requires collection of 100s of items or super rare items. (basically extra end game content) I saw an ice mountain area on the over world map, that would be a great spot for DLC ($5) or endless dungeon for a special item. infinite levels down that get harder & harder with level appropriate awards. Maybe even have those bronze, silver & gold card monsters as bosses. Add a pet that auto-harvests nearby collectables.

Nice little indie game, reminds me of those old flash games. Just as a note: The developer is still active on discord and even has put out free additional content lately.
