About the Game

Alchemy Survivors is a bullet heaven roguelike where you dodge swarms of monsters, unleash screen-filling attacks, and craft brand-new weapons every run. Combine the materials you find into powerful weapons and gear, then use your custom arsenal to survive the endless horde solo or with up to 4 friends!

You're an alchemist trying to survive in a world overrun by monsters. You'll find tons of weapons to help you mow down waves of enemies, but your real strength lies in alchemy: you have the unique ability to create brand-new items unique to your game install with 25+ specialized crafting workstations to discover.

EARLY ACCESS

The game is currently in Early Access and we're continuing to add to the game.

So far we've added:

  • 88/99 characters to unlock

  • 43/50 levels to explore

  • Hundreds and hundreds of enemies to discover

  • 39/50 bosses to conquer

  • 25/30 ways to craft

We're planning to exit Early Access on September 23, 2026. We have a lot left to build, and we want to hear your feedback and suggestions too!

BULLET HEAVEN COMBAT

Fight through waves of enemies in fast-paced bullet heaven survival combat. Your weapons attack automatically while you focus on positioning, dodging, collecting upgrades, and surviving as the screen fills with monsters, projectiles, and loot.

Every run pushes you to build a stronger loadout: mow down hordes, evade boss attacks, grab materials, equip better armor, and craft increasingly absurd weapons before the next wave overwhelms you.

CRAFTING

To get stronger and survive, you'll need to master the deep alchemy crafting system.

There are many ways to manipulate your items, typically through the crafting workstations you'll find while exploring each level. You can combine items into new weapons at a crafting table, craft specific pieces of equipment at an anvil, and do more wild alchemy at other stations you'll discover.

For example, you might find a wishing well that lets you wish for anything you can think of -- not just what's in the game right now. If you wish for an item inspired by Abraham Lincoln...

You can also wish for all kinds of new weapons and you'll see them created immediately and manifested directly into your game, ready for reuse in all of your future runs, too.

There are many ways to craft your perfect item... you'll just have to find and master them!

CO-OP SURVIVAL WITH FRIENDS

Why face the horde alone when you can bring the squad? Join forces with up to 4 players in full co-op, combine your uniquely crafted items, and even take on specialized game modes built for maximum chaos with friends.

  • 1-4 Player Co-Op: Share the screen-filling action, combine wacky builds, and conquer runs together.

  • Co-Op Daily Challenges: Fresh modifiers and rewards every 24 hours to test your team’s coordination.

Specialized Co-Op Modes (Playable Solo or with Friends):

  • Genesift Rift: A fast-paced 4v4 MOBA-inspired game mode. Battle team-vs-team for rift supremacy!

  • Fort Knocks: A heavy-duty 1–4 player base defense mode. Fortify your perimeter, share resources, and survive unrelenting zombie hordes.

  • All normal game maps are also available to team up with friends on; or add bots to your party if you want to play co-op but have no friends!

CONTROLS

  • Arrow keys / WASD to move

  • [E] to interact with menus or objects in the world

  • [Tab] to view inventory

  • [Esc] to pause

Controllers also fully supported.

TIPS

  • Walk over the crafting table to start crafting (you'll need items and essence!)

  • Collect everything you can; you never know what will be useful later!

  • Defeat powerful minibosses and elite enemies to find more essence

  • Craft brand new items unique to your game install every time you use essence

  • Crafted items can show up in your future runs, too :)

  • The further out you explore, the more you'll find!

  • Team up in co-op to share essence and try wild weapon combinations!
