  • story
    83 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Alchemia Story" is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its charm and world-building, while others criticize it for being disjointed and poorly translated. Many find the main quests engaging, but sub-quests often lack clarity, leading to frustration. Overall, while the game has potential and nostalgic appeal, its narrative execution leaves much to be desired, making it a hit-or-miss experience for players.

    • “What I like the most, and what kept me playing for so long, is how original and beautiful the world is in every aspect: the setting, the landscapes, the NPCs, and the main story.”
    • “The story is actually pretty interesting, with voice-acted scenes and a nice mix of quests and cutscenes.”
    • “The biggest downside would be its slow loading and not-so-PC-made styled game controls, but on the upside, it has battling, public chat, dungeons, and many different areas to uncover, and even though the cutscenes are constant, the story is decent itself.”
    • “It's a shame that this game has so much potential, especially in its setting and story, but fails to fully express it.”
    • “The story is a mess and it's all over the place; you go to one area, watch a cutscene, then have to go to the other side of the map.”
    • “Terrible translation, story written by a child with some version of ASD, nearly 80 minutes of forced 'tutorial' that is 90% needless loading screens for a 10-second interaction followed by more loading for the next 10-second interaction.”
  • grinding
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with many players finding it excessively tedious and time-consuming, often requiring significant effort to achieve meaningful progress.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “There's a ton of grinding if you want even remotely good player stats, and trust me, you need good player stats.”
    • “This game has a lot of potential but really needs to tone down the grinding because that's basically all I feel like I'm doing.”
    • “While the battle system is pretty much fun for me, the game itself is way too grindy, which makes this game boring quickly since you will be repeating a lot of the same battles just for leveling.”
  • gameplay
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Gameplay itself (as little as I got to do) was alright to an extent.”
    • “Gameplay loop is one of those let the game play itself for you instead of doing playing for yourself, character customization that harkens back to MMOs of the early 90s but with far fewer customization options.”
    • “However, it falls short with a somewhat predictable storyline and lackluster combat mechanics.”
    • “Boring quests, boring world, tired artistic style, boring mechanics.”
    • “So far, after almost 40 minutes of 'gameplay', I am still in cut-scenes... I am not even convinced that there even is any gameplay at this point.”

    • “2/10 graphics quality and performance.”
