Game loop idea is definitely... creatively acquired from Cultist Simulator. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. While writing here isn't as strong as that of Alexis's and is not the main thing carrying the game, timing balance is way more forgiving, and overall "wtf am I supposed to do" thing is more transparent, which makes it a good meditative experience to spend one's time growing turnip and brewing potions. Until you make one too many poisons, that is.
Very cozy and well-paced game. I’m more than 15 hours in and only just reached my first ascension, which says a lot about how comfortable the pacing feels. There’s no unnecessary pressure, no rush wverything unfolds in a calm, natural rhythm. The core mechanics were completely new to me, and I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging and fresh they feel. I havent played anything quite like this before. There are occasional minor bugs, but interestingly, most of them tend to resolve themselves over time and never really breakk the flow of the game. Overall, it’s a very atmospheric and relaxing experience, especially if you enjoy slow progression, experimentation, and a sense of quiet mastery.
This might be the second best card-sim out there right now, bested only by the OG Cultist Sim. While you can definitely feel the influence, Ways of Alchemy stands out as unique. It even manages to evolve some of the card sim systems in ways that I'd like to see become standard. If you're a fan of these kind of games, this is a must buy, even at full price. In my opinion one of the most important elements of a card sim is that it doesn't spell out the rules of the game outright, it encourages you to explore and learn them as you go, and this game totally nails that. Watch out, it'll keep you up late. Ways of Alchemy is a great introduction to the card sim genre, as mistakes aren't too punishing and the loss conditions are pretty easy to avoid. It's relaxing most of the time. Easily a 9/10. I really hope the developer does some more work in the card sim genre.
You don't see a whole lot of games so clearly following in the footsteps of Cultist Simulator. It's really wearing that inspiration on it's sleeve. And since Cultist Simulator is my favorite game, it's hard for me to say no. On that comparison, it's interesting to be playing in a world where magic is just a thing people are used to. You aren't exploring a hidden and protected world, you're more an alchemist trying to master their craft. It leads to a game that feels less opaque. There is no choice between bird or worm, you know? Which tonally fits for this game. It's not a roguelike. Death is not constantly waiting around every corner. I wouldn't even say death is waiting in the same time zone. Still, it has that sense of discovering and mastering the world that you're in. On that note... The big change is the grimoire. If you make a potion for the first time it gets added to the grimoire and the grimoire will tell you exactly what the requirements to make that potion are (AFTER you've made it). It's basically playing with the wiki open but the wiki refuses to spoil the puzzle for you until you've done it at least once yourself. And it doesn't limit itself to potions. You want a specific resource or tool? The grimoire will tell you EXACTLY where it can be found in the world. Honestly it's a bit much for me. It takes away a little bit of that sense of discovery. I would've liked a grimoire that unlocks information a bit more slowly. Maybe showing the best you've done with a recipe and slowly updating as you make it more efficiently, with some kind of mastery mark if you actually manage to make it as efficiently as possible. Or only showing locations for resources that you personally have already gotten them from. That KIND of thing. Mind you that's all personal preference, but a gamemode like that would be way more my style. As is, the game feels a bit TOO easy and almost on rails. I'm never really wondering what my next step will be, you know? I'm not charting a course through the unknown. I'm following a map. Another change that seems strictly good, and yet I can't help but wonder if its the source of a lot of the negative reviews this game gets, is that if you have any character not currently working the game will automatically pause. It makes it easy to avoid waste and helps you stay ahead on resources. But in real time, pausing as much as possible can only be slower, right? I wonder if maybe the fact that the game doesn't, by default, move unless you have everyone working might be contributing to people's feeling that the game is more micromanagy. Or the feeling that getting resources is a slog. I don't know. It didn't bother me at all. I don't know. Just a thought.
If you're a fan of Cultist Simulator, this game is made for you. Some of the early-mid game grind is gruelling, but it is the same in Cultist Simulator too. After you get past it, game gets more interesting. I've been waiting for another game in this genre for a while, thank you devs!.
