Unique Items and Character Builds
As an alchemist, you don’t wear any armour nor wield a sword, but instead, you rain down fire to defeat your enemies. You can find flasks with unique properties in the wilderness or craft them at your workbench. You create a collection of flasks in deck-building style, which you randomly draw from during battles.
In BattleJuice Alchemist, your skills are represented by your flasks. These flasks can be used in their regular form, but also have the ability to be “jucified” for even stronger effects. Certain flasks come with additional powers that can alter their effects, giving you the ability to customize your playstyle to your liking.
Explore a Dark World
In BattleJuice Alchemist, the world is divided into large procedural landscapes with unique algorithms determining the placement of every feature such as valleys, seas, rivers, mountains, buildings, stones, trees, and items. This ensures that you can continue exploring even after completing the main story. However, quest locations are still carefully crafted to provide engaging and compelling narratives.
Dark Lands to Discover: You and your enemies are affected by daytime, weather, and the presence of spawning demons. Find dark altars to weaken their influence and uncover secrets.
Engaging Combat
Experience classic isometric ARPG action as you battle your enemies from a bird’s eye view. Take advantage of explosive and freezing flasks to defeat them and set up ambushes using barrels. When danger approaches, use the “Frog Hop” flask to jump away or dive into close combat.
Engage in Close Combat with Bullet-time: Have a hands-on interaction with your enemy in close combat by dodging or using smoke flasks to avoid getting hit. During these intense one-on-one battles against your formidable enemies from the Crossroads, make sure to manage your resources and flasks wisely.
