BattleJuice Alchemist Early Access Out Today On PC

There’s been an influx of games released today on the sly, BattleJuice Alchemist Early Access being one of them. It’s now available via Steam and Epic Games Store. Are you keeping up?

In a dark and immersive world, this alchemy RPG ‘redefines the classic aRPG formula with a unique item and skill system offering the choice between isometric combat and JRPG-style one-on-one battles’. Thanks, Alchemical Works and ESDigital Games, for all that you do.

You play Juice, the Alchemist, travelling through New England and battling demonic hordes to uncover the Crossroads (Robert Johnson reference?). BattleJuice Alchemist lets you build an alchemy tower, explore the lands and discover hidden treasures and dangers (such as the dynamic day/night cycles that affect enemy behaviour!).

Key features include:

• Loot and Craft – As an alchemist you wear no armour and wield no sword, but you rain down fire on your enemies. Find flasks with unique properties in the wilderness or craft them at your workbench. In deck-building fashion you create a compilation of flasks which you randomly draw from.
• Unique Skill System – In BattleJuice Alchemist, your flasks are your skills. Every flask can be used the normal way and at times in a supercharged, “jucified” way for stronger effects. Some flasks have powers attached to them that drastically change their effects when used, which allows you to develop your own playstyle.
• Procedural Landscapes, Hand-crafted Towns – The world of BattleJuice Alchemist is separated into vast levels of procedural landscape. Every valley, sea, river, mountain, building, stone, tree and item is placed by a unique algorithm. This allows you to continue exploring after you complete the main story. Quest locations are still hand-crafted to tell compelling stories.
• Dark Lands to Discover – You are influenced by daytime and weather effects, and so are your enemies. But they are also buffed by the evermore spawning demons’ presence. Find dark altars to hold their influence at bay and discover many other secrets.
• Classic isometric ARPG action – Fight your enemies from afar in classic top-down view. Throw explosive or freezing flasks at them, and prepare ambushes of explosive barrels. Use the “Frog Hop” flask to jump away from danger or right into close combat.
• Close Combat with Bullet-time – Enter close combat with an enemy, where you can interact hands-on by dodging or using smoke flasks to avoid being hit. Manage your resources and flasks during these intense one on one battles against your awe-inspiring enemies from the Crossroads.
