Our take on My Life As An Alchemist
The main bounce point arrives when a wave requires both fast ingredient collection and a successful potion craft. Missing that brew ends the run, while later waves add recipe difficulty, environmental hazards, and a harder crafting mini-game.
What is My Life As An Alchemist?
Choose up to three potions to prepare during each wave, then collect their ingredients before time runs out.
The game has 10 waves of harvesting and brewing, with defeat following an unsuccessful potion in any wave. Recipes become harder as new biomes and hazards appear, including tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, and full moons. Extra or higher-quality ingredients can improve potion effects, while a progressively harder crafting mini-game tests recipe execution. Each run offers different characters, artifacts, and weapons, with additional options found during play. Research expands the available elements, and achievements unlock more characters and artifacts for later runs. Runs support different priorities, such as resource quantity, ingredient quality, or specializing in a weapon type.
