9 itemsAbout the Game
Alchemickal is a roguelite twin-stick shooter where frantic action collides with elemental mayhem. Step into the shoes of an everyday alchemist who’s in for way more than he signed up for.
Mix and Match
Use your jury-rigged tech to imbue your weapons with chemickals, granting elemental properties to your attacks. Shock foes with chain lightning, melt them with acid, or coat them in flammable tar for a cascading explosion. Discover ancient recipes to unlock powerful new combinations!
Know Your Enemy
Enemies come with distinct quirks that shape every encounter: some bleed, others rust. Some can be tricked into attacking their own kin, others can have their own attacks turned on them. Learn their tricks, exploit their weaknesses, and survive another floor.
Freedom of Expression
Every weapon has a unique upgrade tree. Between worlds, a cosmic entity offers a rotating stock of strange buffs, and bubbling cauldrons hidden through the dungeon hold alchemickal recipes lost to time. No two runs build the same arsenal.
Gameplay Features
Fast-paced twin-stick combat that rewards quick thinking and improvisation.
A reactive alchemy system where elemental matchups and special recipes define your tactical options.
Enemies defined by both faction traits and elemental affinities for layered encounters.
Permadeath: every run starts from the beginning.
Procedurally generated dungeons packed with hazards, ambushes, and other fun surprises.
An appealing shopkeeper.
