About
Ways of Alchemy is a medieval card game and alchemist simulator. Turn a handful of weeds into deadly poison, build an alchemical empire, and outwit the Inquisition. The path from humble novice to powerful master alchemist is filled with dangers and opportunities.
You start with nothing but a humble shack and basic knowledge of alchemy. But every potion can change everything — bring wealth or draw the wrath of authorities. In a world where alchemy balances between science and Inquisition persecution, every choice determines your fate.
🧪 Brew over 35 different potions
🌿 Discover and utilize more than 100 unique ingredients
🔮 Master the 5 pillars of reality — Void, Mirror, Veil, Pain and Song
🧙♂️ Choose from 15 different subclasses
🗺️ Send adventurers to 5 different regions with 24 quests
💎 Find over 70 unique rewards and artifacts
🔚 Experience 13 different endings based on your choices
⚔️ Face the consequences of your ambition with the Inquisition
Experiment freely or follow traditions with a flexible potion-crafting system. Follow proven recipes from your grimoire for reliable results, or take risks with creative experimentation for potentially more powerful effects. With over 100 ingredients connected to the 5 pillars of reality, your cauldron holds the potential for dozens of unique and powerful potions.

Work your way from an inherited shack to a thriving alchemical settlement as your reputation grows among potion buyers. Manage your estate, hire hands and balance your growing influence against the watchful eyes of local authorities. Navigate the threats of Tax Inspector and the dreaded Inquisition as your power increases.

Send adventurers on perilous quests across 5 distinct regions. Equip them with your potions and artifacts before dispatching them on 24 dangerous adventures. Discover over 70 unique treasures including powerful artifacts, ancient recipes and long-lost books to fuel your ascension.

Unlock 15 unique subclasses that shape your alchemical journey. Stay true to pure alchemy or venture into forbidden arts like necromancy and flesh-smiting. Every decision leads toward one of 13 possible endings as you work to complete the Great Making – the ultimate goal of any true alchemist.

萝卜生万物
Не играйте в неё сразу же после культиста - управление покажется вам топорным. В остальном, та же идея - творим хтонь, познаём тайные знания, скрываемся от закона. Менее душная, никуда не торопит. Свой вайб присутствует.
小众赛道里的佳作,但是尚可优化
수작임에 틀림없습니다. 스틱랜드나 컬티스트 시뮬레이터와 비슷한 장르인데, 전자보다는 컨텐츠가 풍부하고 후자보다는 접근성이 훌륭합니다. 조작감이 불편하다거나 직관적이지 않다는 불만이 있지만, 동일 장르에서는 거의 최선이 아닐까 싶습니다. 이 회사에서 비슷한 류의 차기작을 만든다면, 반드시 구매할 의향이 있습니다. 너무 재미있습니다.
穿越异世界之我是炼金术士,种田炼药经营赚钱雇佣打手进而飞升!! 以前看炼金动漫的一些想象居然可以在这里实现,爽!
이거 창열고 첫 클릭 할때 왜 한장만 집어지는게 아니고 한뭉탱이가 집어지는지 이해를 못하겠음. 안그래도 게임 구성이 겁나 피곤한 구조인데 이런 간단한 것에서 도 피곤하니 급현타옴. 그리고 도대체 돈벌어 먹기도 빡신데 세금쟁이놈은 왜오는겨 아오
玩法很像密教与堆叠大陆的的远房亲戚,玩家扮演炼金术士,除了炼金外,还需要种田、冒险及交易。卡牌卡面及立绘很戳我xp,卡牌合成玩起来满有趣,配方需要仔细记一下,期待后续可以内置配方表,要不只能打印出来对照。
マップが出なくて進めない・・・ と思ったらVerUpで取得方法が変わったようです
Stacklands’ RPG overhaul. Btw, ascension tree needs more love, clarification and above all related main quests. I got 70% of achievements without touching it.
