Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator as its name suggests is a potion crafting game where you manage your own shop, buying and selling the potions that you brew. Playing it so far, I am loving every aspect of it including the gameplay, visuals and music which all fit well together.

In this game and in your shop, you have various rooms including a garden where your ingredients grow daily, the kitchen where you brew the potions, the basement with exciting gadgets, and the front shop where you greet the customers in the town. The main sections are the kitchen and the front shop.

In the kitchen, you have various tools to brew your potion including the cauldron, bellow, and mortar. By mixing and matching the ingredients and how you use the tools, you can brew various potions for the specific need of the customers. In the front shop, you are greeted by various people who tell a little story, and from that you find which potion they require. It is quite fun to read what they did or what happened for them to arrive here.

Furthermore, there is a neat, little haggling option system where a minigame comes when selling your potion. Here you can either slightly raise the price of what you sell or lower the price of what you buy depending on how it goes. All in all, the gameplay portion is very entertaining as there are a lot of combinations to discover with the potion making.

The visual aesthetics is very pleasing with the olden medieval look of the game, the texture and designs of everything, and the colours used. There are numerous amounts of ingredients and potions, all with their unique design which keeps the game more alive. Though the game already does this by the endless mix and matching, and discovery of the potion world.

There is also an “Alchemist’s Path” chapters section where tasks are set out, which earns points going towards unlocking the next section which there are several of. The graphics also goes very well with the music that is played which is some charming and relaxing medieval like instrumental.

The UI is friendly and simple to use with various section for things such as the potion making, ingredients and recipe portions. Controls are straightforward to use with mainly using your mouse to navigate through the game.

The price of the game is well suited and fair to offer, with the game having great aesthetics and fun gameplay. Overall, it is a solid game and worth checking out if you want an entertaining potion making game or a nice simulation. I do recommend it since it has been very enjoyable so far and I’m looking forward to seeing what gets added and expanded in the future.
