Alchemia: Creatio Ex Nihilo

Do not buy it. I tried to like this game, I really did. I came back to it multiple times hoping to give it another shot, but it's just flawed. -The game at this point is clearly abandoned. It hasn't updated in years, which was right after it released. -It's not balanced at all. Some fights are stupidly easy and others are needlessly difficult. -There's no sense of progression when you can't even consistently get into the second act. RNG in the game only sets out to annoy you instead of rewarding you. An example of it is in how the spells work. You have to rediscover them every run. It quickly becomes annoying and inconsistent. Some runs you can discover spells you need almost immediately, but other times you'll already have half of your health gone before you even correctly guess one of them. Mind you health is somewhat limited, similarly to in games like Slay the Spire. There may be a way to unlock spells, but when you have almost no money and need upgraded pieces for the second act. It becomes a game of constant micro managing just to survive long enough to unlock spells to fight a boss who does so much damage by the end that you either need rng to bless you, or enough health …

ok this is actually sick as hell

This game is awesome! Combining the reagents and having to rediscover recipes feels challenging but entertaining, the creatures and enemies have very fun designs and the devs always interact with people on the Discord! I really like how it twists the deckbuilding idea a bit: instead of just shoving cards and deckbuilding into other genres, it actually takes the deckbuilding and tries to innovate on top of it and make it feel aesthetically different. The main downside right now is that starting runs always feels a bit too similar, so it always takes a bit before you get to the part of the game where you actually have a build going. Although the way it is right now, it's fully playable and replayable - so if you like deckbuilder roguelites, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try!

If you are tired of all rogue like card games, this one is a nice change for you.

Some fights are very easy and others are needlessly difficult. Its too RNG. But, overall, I would give it 5.5/10. Its art is good and the gameplay is somewhat fun. Get it on a very good sale.

Honestly, not is my prefered style of game, BUT the Game Designer did one OUTSTANDING work here! I played a lot, totally addicted to cross the challenges and find the best combos hahah . I got quite angry 😂 trying to overcome some wicked enemies, and I got excited when I discovered strategies to send them back to the hole they crawled out of!🔥🔥 I need to finish the final version! 🙌
