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.

遊戲性本身是令人驚豔的,在眾多遊戲中算是獨樹一格的存在,當你剛開始接觸,甚至會因為類型過於獨特而不知如何下手。 而在漸漸摸清套路以後,便會發覺背後的巧思而感到樂趣。 這遊戲農的成分挺高,但我本身就喜歡農,所以還能接受,遊戲時長也沒有被拉到讓人失去耐心的程度。 美中不足的是,這遊戲的劇情著實等於幾乎沒有,甚至花了極多時間終於通關時,不但沒有過場動畫,而且還只用一張照片便草草帶過,在如今許多遊戲結局都相當光彩的前提下,著實讓人難以接受。 但這部分是可以新增的,希望製作組之後把這裡的空缺給他補上吧,不然真算得上是大硬傷,花費時間與結尾感動完全不成正比,甚至還遠輸許多遊戲某一篇章結束的份量。 遊戲就目前來看,基本是沒有二周目了,因為就算有不同的路線,也只是不一樣的屬性點,以及技能加成上的小變化,95%以上,會是完全無樣的過程,再加上毫無劇情可言,真的是沒有必要。 但如果只玩一次,也是有幾十小時的時長,對上打折後的價格,依然是完全可以入手的,但如果著重劇情類型的玩家,是可以不用考慮~
炼金术士的重启人生(滑稽)?第一次玩这种卡片融合类的游戏,配方组合太多了吧,有时候一不小心放错了卡牌就出现了新的配方,忽然感觉脑子有点不够用了
卡牌炼金的玩法倒是蛮新颖的,有各种奇奇怪怪的组合,很有摸索的乐趣!
Digne héritier de Cultist Simulator. La preuve, j'ai perdu un temps fou à faire des trucs compliqués qui devaient me servir à faire un truc très très compliqué... mais au moment où je pouvais le faire, j'avais oublié pourquoi j'avais fait tous ces trucs ! :) Il est plus simple d'être prudent sur ce jeu, et les game over seront rares. On apprend à chaque instant.
风味很足
操作非常繁琐,炼金士本人和雇佣者都要管他吃喝、精力,推进度又完全依赖雇佣者; 做个药剂得种、磨、做,做完还要看是不是有毒的考虑保存问题; 飞升路线比较明确,但是步骤很多,有大量重复劳动,而且考虑到保存问题就更恶心了; 操作上一个互动窗口打开的时候不能直接点另一张卡打开新的互动窗,必须先关了当前这个再去开另一个,很烦; 内容上有自己的创意和想法,但是流程上过于折磨了
题材蛮有意思的,玩法也很有创新,把各类游戏元素以卡牌形式呈现出来,少了很多不必要的步骤,纯粹沉浸在炼金过程蛮好的。
ゲーム自体は面白いけど、出ないといけないカードが出て来なくて、進行不能になってしまいました。 問合せても返事が無く、完全に詰んでる状態です。 追記5/25:3時間で返事コメントしたけど1週間経っても音沙汰無い…。気付いてないのか調査中なのかも分からないですね。
노동, 가공에 더 비중을 높인 컬티스트 시뮤레이터 느낌 컬티스트 시뮬레이터를 재밌게 해 아주 흥미로웠으나 결과적으로는 좀 아쉬운 느낌 중세 연금술사라는 컨셉은 괜찮게 살린 것 같음 다만 업무량이 너무 어마무지하다 일하고 부업하고 쉬고 책 읽고 하던 컬티스트 시뮬레이터의 노동략의 2배는 되는 것 같음 거기에 뚜렷한 목표를 보여준 컬티스트 시뮬레이터에 비해 앞길을 비춰주지 않아 동기 부여가 애매했다 거기에 유사 만수스는 매력적인 시스템이 아니었던 것 같고 암튼 컬티스트 시뮬레이터에 비해 나름의 차별점이 있고, 전체적으로 완성도는 있으나 끝까지 할 정도의 재미까진 잘 모르겠다... 그래도 너~무 궁금하다 하면 굳이 말리지는 않을 정도
先說優點,遊戲玩法可以說是相當新穎,很享受那種從無到有,牌面漸漸拓展開來的感覺, 但缺點是中後期,檯面實在太過雜亂,所東西都是一張卡,除了配方、圖紙可以收起來外大部分的東西通通放在檯面上,也沒有或是我找不到集體圈選的功能,那個框框只是方便你規劃區域,完全不是能讓你整盤拿起來的東西 每一個角色任務結束後都會觸發暫停讓你有時間操作,唯獨你要付薪資給他的時候沒自動暫停也沒特別提示他是要工資,我不知道已經幾次因為忘了付工資人跑掉了 另外就是操作非常繁瑣,要一直操作角色做事,沒辦法讓他們自動一直做甚麼事情,還要手動派他們去吃喝睡,派出去冒險的文字過程看起來相當不錯,但根本忙到沒時間靜下來看
