Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator

Potion Craft lets players put on their chemist hats and strategically brew a plethora of potions. A medieval backdrop provides a casual environment to discover new recipes, earn some coin, and become a master alchemist.

Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator is a thoughtful, intelligent crafting title that offers deeply-robust gameplay that’s well worth the time. The unique crafting system of navigating potions through a sea of recipes is fun and enticing. Interacting with ingredients to see what combinations are most effective is the heart of the crafting system. With no punishment for failure, Potion Craft encourages natural curiosities by rewarding players that experiment. The title upholds that failure is a feature, not a bug, as players must ultimately figure out how to create the Philosopher’s Stone. Learning from failures can help influence business practices and planning in ways that feel balanced. It’s a game that’s easy to get into and also rewards committed play. With even more content to come, the title holds hours of gameplay and mystical secrets for the potion sellers of the world. Smart mechanics, witty writing and cozy aesthetics make Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator a must-play title helping to wrap up 2022.

Potion Craft is a great little indie title, offering a deep enough system for players to get lost in and play for a long time, but balanced enough for shorter play sessions to satisfy. Its aesthetic and atmosphere increase the enjoyment of its core mechanics. Highly recommended to players of all ilks.

Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator simulates the life of a novice alchemist trying to pave his way to fame and glory discovery after discovery. As in real life, it requires dedication and perseverance, which do not always go hand in hand with casual game philosophy. The system of moving along the alchemical map will entice you to experiment for a few hours in search of the ultimate formula, but an uninspired endgame relying on grinding might turn away even the most ambitious alchemists. If you're looking for an original sandbox puzzler and aren't afraid of repetitive gameplay, it's definite-ly an interesting game.

Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator delivers exactly what it set out to do with an experience that has potion brewing and alchemic discovery at its core. It is a casual endeavor on the surface, but contains plenty of depth for those willing to dive in. While its pace may not be for everyone, just a few tweaks here and there to the gameplay mechanics would help elevate this game to an even more potent mixture.

There's nothing wrong with Potion Craft. It's fun, it's chill, but it leaves me feeling like it's missing something. It feels less like a full game and more like a mechanic in search of a game. I can imagine a different game that incorporates Potion Craft as a part of it, maybe something like The Witcher with this game as an optional way to craft and sell potions. But without a story and with such monotonous graphics and music, it's hard to think of this as much more than a short diversion. If you're okay with that, there's definitely fun to be had. But if you're looking for more, well, this might be the wrong brew for you.

A relaxing alchemy shop simulator in which you actually brew all the concoctions yourself. The game feels unfinished, however, and misses a way to make the manual brewing process less tedious. It slows down about halfway through and turns into a grind.

I love this game. This game is very relaxing and is fun to play when trying to take your mind off something. The potion mechanics are fun and interesting and I love all of the different merchants you can encounter. The point system isn't anything to gasp over, but I think it gives the player something to look forward to completing. Overall, the game is very fun and engaging.

The main mechanic is tightly designed and engaging, and once you get a grasp on all the moving parts, it really makes you feel as if you were tinkering with all the components, assuming some risks, or being extremely careful and precise. It sometimes becomes a bit tedious, but the nature of the game is perfect for short sessions or just leaving the game whenever you feel like it. If you enjoy puzzle games with an immersive UI and medieval vibes, this might just be for you.

fun at beginning, fades away after 6h. Failed to display a envolving experience.

It's a relaxing game. Sound effects are pretty good. The illustrations are nice, the animations are relaxing. The game starts to repeat itself too much. Wake up every day, gather herbs, sell potions, sleep. The alchemy map is a big part of the game but I hated this feature. It seemed a bit unnecessarily challenging and time consuming to me.

Had played this last year. Wasn't that great. There was an over-reliance on perfecting the recipes in order to maximize the profit. Trying to move that potion to a certain direction exactly was too cumbersome. Also, collecting the ingredients was also a pain because on many ocassions you wouldn't get what you need. But you need to manage with whatever you have. Another pain point was not knowing in which direction you need to grow. Trial and error was unforgiving because you lost precious resources and couldn't try again.
