Alchemy Garden

I didn't refund during early access because I had hope it would turn out half decent and really wish I hadn't, because it definitely didn't improve. Don't trust early access.

I buy this game since early access with interesting concept of explored forest, gathering and make them to potion
In the beginning Im just want to relax with planting...
Nevertheless the game control are so bad. nothings improve much
roaming around same map are not worse than pole the seed to the hole that CANT control focus to specific area lol
Time in game are 1YEAR with calendar that have birthday of villager without giving gift to them? our birthday for event?
That's odd for 6 Dollar prices for this game.

Same action everyday - gathering, planting, watering, make potion, sell it
(someone will love this rhythm of the relaxing...fine but not much for me hmm nearly 20hr played lol need sth more)

- Lack of event and action that you will found in the other game in the same categories

- Focusing control are badly than expected

-------------
PS. The Alchemy Garden are farmer planting and water with watering can. Dont have other stuff, magic or pet to help us manage herb that will be potion for every NPC. Also Seed exchange function are not good choice with high volume of the seed traded for new one

Very disappointed for early access's player

It's an interesting concept, I like running around to collect potion ingredients. There aren't enough foragables for the amount of potions customers will ask for though, the game said you can sell crystals for extra cash but 95% of the time customers demand another potion from me instead of buying my mountains of crystals. It also gets repetitive just running the same loops looking for ingredients, it seems to change the plants daily but that's really frustrating when you get a quest for certain ingredients and they just never spawn in.

Gardening is a crucial aspect of this game but it is the absolute worst. Super hard to lay out your plants how you like (I have yet to figure out how to get rid of a tilled spot besides finish growing a plant there), if you put dirt clumps together as is optimal for watering you cannot select individual dirt clumps to actually plant a seed there. It's so infuriating. I wish it would just zoom in with your mouse to a UI menu and you can click things before zooming out again to water or something. Also wish there were some way to auto water your plants or something. The only thing I see automated so far is brewing but tbh that doesn't take so long and is fun, I wish I had more ingredients to actually do that regularly but I'm constantly running out.

Oh also the mail sorts incorrectly, it always shows the first letter you ever got when you open your mailbox and you have to scroll down to open more mail.

It would also be nice if NPCs gave individual different lines of dialog instead of giving one large paragraph if I go to talk to them, it makes me want to rush through it. It was also sometimes unclear when you were about to spend a bunch of money or not like going into the wardrobe at the store. And your tools break constantly even the high level versions

Overall a cute and fun but unpolished game. I'm gonna play longer but the gardening plots especially is really starting to make it unfun. Oh I also don't know how or if you can ever use furniture so guess my chest will forever be slightly inside my wall

I really wanted to like this game..but after only a few minutes of playing, i was bored. I feel like there is a lot of potential here, but right now it is just lack-luster. It's just missing something, and it's rather sad because it is a game i feel like i would really enjoy otherwise.

I have played many great games involving farming, gathering and crafting. This isn't one of them. The game concept is good, but the game play is shallow, the controls frustrating, and the optimization is terrible. The graphics aren't ugly but they could use some finesse, especially the character models who have large, creepy, staring eyes. Gardening is nearly impossible because of the controls, and finding the right ingredients in the wild is very hit or miss. As it stands, this game is hardly playable and not really worth your time or money.

hi

I See the Mixed with the Negative and The positive, I Will give this a positive review, Heres why, I Played this game and I Enjoyed the Animal crossing inspired stardew valley meets Potionomics gameplay, Its really cool when you go hunting for resources and The flowers and items and the ores, I love this, makes me want to also try potionomics as well xD, This is a really good game, Been wanting to play Potionomics too but this is fun ^-^ and relaxing too.

I really hate to say this but don't buy this game. I decided to give it a shot thinking there might be more updates to come but no. Extremely boring game with a very cute concept. :(
