About Alchemickal
Alchemickal is a roguelite twin-stick shooter where frantic action collides with elemental mayhem. Step into the shoes of an everyday alchemist who’s in for way more than he signed up for.Mix and MatchUse your jury-rigged tech to imbue your weapons with chemickals, granting elemental properties to your attacks. Shock foes with chain lightning, melt them with acid, or coat them in flammable tar for a cascading explosion. Discover ancient recipes to unlock powerful new combinations! Know Your EnemyEnemies come with distinct quirks that shape every encounter: some bleed, others rust. Some can be tricked into attacking their own kin, others can have their powers sealed. Learn their tricks, exploit their weaknesses, and survive another floor.Freedom of ExpressionEvery weapon has a unique upgrade tree, while an odd shop between worlds tempts you with bizarre buffs. Each run twists your arsenal into something new.Gameplay Features

i liked the part where Al C. Hemickal says "its chemickal time" and then chemickals all over the place3 found this helpful
Fast paced and challenging game, lots of ways to customize how you attack too.2 found this helpful
This game is very good, and has a lot of replayability and value for the price! If you’re a fan of rogue-likes and bullet hell games, give it a try! I haven’t finished it yet, so my placeholder score is a 7/10 :)2 found this helpful
I came into this wanting to like it, but the gameplay is half baked. The game cannot decide whether or not it wants to be a rougelike or not. The only part of the game where you can direct your build is the shop, and the options you are given there are really minimal, and the items offered are not really able to synergize with other items, so whether your 'build' is good or not is pretty much all random. The elemental system is really really interesting on paper, but it's all thrown out because in order to do reasonable amounts of damage, you need to use the 'correct' element to fight different enemies, so instead of engaging with the cool elements system you just go "Ah, I need to shoot red enemies with blue bullets and the purple enemies with white bullets". This game needed more playtesting.2 found this helpful
