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.

唯美的卡牌和立绘吸引了我,没想到能借着炼金的名义做出这类肉鸽,确实相当牛掰!不过玩下来,觉得卡牌略微多了点,使得核心卡组分散了不少,反而把优点减弱了。
风味很足
通关了一周目来评价一下 如果你喜欢密教模拟器,这款游戏也会对你的胃口,游戏通关流程不长,如果不搞有的没的只求通关的话流程会变得非常短,特别是发展到后期最强大的高级奴仆解锁后就几乎没什么内容了,没有爽到。 类似密教模拟器的游戏体验但却没有其复杂的背景故事。 整体推荐 唯一缺点就是相比密教不同致死的危险带来的压迫感,炼金之道中卡关点在于探索所需要的高要求,这真的很烦人,相比起来也少了一些趣味性

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
挺不錯的 但有些bug現在還有 像是主角餵飯不吃要等餓了自己找吃的(浪費一堆時間)還有儀式用的核心欄位總可以放很多個但沒有效果(不清楚是bug還是我操作問題就是了)
掌握炼药理论后,后续会省很多材料。
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
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~
好玩,打折值得购买
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!
