Alchemia Story review

Recommended

I haven't finished the quests yet but I think I've played long enough to make a review. This game seems decent so far, it's not bad but it's also not amazing either. The story can be a bit hard to follow as there are a lot of typos and possible mistranslations, but I think I understand what's happening. There's a pretty good character creator that gives a wide variety of choice for how you want your character and partner character to look. You can even create characters that will piss off Twitter/Bluesky users.

The game does have a gacha system but I haven't been forced to use it and the game is pretty generous with free tickets and offers daily free pulls. You could probably almost completely ignore the gacha system though, as all of the enemies in the quests are very weak (at least as far as I've played, which I think is about half of the main quests).

The only other thing I want to mention is that I've been playing this game on both Linux and android. The android version works fine as expected and the Linux version works well in Proton. I thought that there would be some issues getting this game working in Linux because, not only does Steam list the game as unsupported on Steam Decks, "Are We Anti-Cheat Yet" lists the game as "running" and not "supported" but it's working fine with the version of Proton that Steam defaults to.
