Ratings and reviews

Great concept, but the pacing is almost aneurism-inducing. You pretty much gotta use consumables for a lot of fights, and you can only gather so many at once, and said gathering happens where there's the random encounters that you may need to use items to prevent feeling like they're a half hour long. This was my experience when trying for speedy attacking build, btw. I was still regularly doing 1 damage.

Overall the game is a real treat to play. However - the controls could really use some tightening up. Drifting around plants that I'm trying to harvest rather than stopping when I take my finger off the stick is a real pain to work around, especially if it accidentally leads to a combat. I'm (obviously) not far in, but this game has a lot of promise and I want to see where it goes. Well done!

The game reminds me a fair bit of recettear. Alchemica is, a great game for thode who enjoy grinding, collecting and selling things. The dungeons are straightforward and helps the player stay on the focus of the game (Alchemy). With that said, it feels like the stats you collect while leveling Charlotte seem to have 0 effect on the game. the luk, atk and def stats did not seem to change anything at all. also, the bazaar and quests don't always seem to work as intended. 4/5 try it for sure!
