Brasilia – Prepare your lab, separate your ingredients and get ready for action. Developer Bad Minions has announced that their new game based on the alchemy universe, ALKIMYA, is now on Steam Greenlight.
Become a master alchemist, creating your own potions with no recipes, solving puzzles and fighting fearsome creatures. Shape the reality using main elements (air, water, earth and fire) to create new ones (lava, lightning, ice and more) and manipulate the environment to your advantage. Change the bottles to make different effects, transforming an explosion into a barrier.
Alkimya takes place in a fantasy world, in a region that once was the cradle of alchemy, but now is devastated by an old war. The land was abandoned. Test subjects of decades of experiments have escaped and made the region their lair.
Seth, the main character, wakes up in this dangerous area, confused and with no memories, but some alchemy knowledge. He starts his journey to survive and recover his identity, assisted by a mysterious homunculus.
Alkimya promises to be an adventure with RPG and Action elements. Players will also be able to play the main story with a friend on the local co-op mode, joining as a flying homunculus.
Alkimya Features:
- Make your own potion: Combine elements to create new ones! Air + Fire = Lightning. Change the flask to modify the type of the bomb. Transform an explosion into a barrier!
- Interactive environment: Through alchemy, raise the water level of a lake, cross a river by creating ice platforms, use the wind to move objects, lightning to start an engine.
