The gameplay of the alchemist shop simulator is characterized by a cozy and casual experience, allowing players to grow plants and brew potions, which adds a satisfying mechanic to the game. However, the gameplay loop is noted to be short and somewhat repetitive, with limited NPC interaction and a lack of depth in brewing mechanics. Despite these drawbacks, the charming atmosphere and engaging elements make it appealing for fans of simulation games.
- “Being able to choose what plants you grow, tend to them, and then choose what potions you mix them into based on what you grow is a great mechanic. The mixing of potions is also a fun mechanic at the start.”
- “Alchemist shop simulator is a casual and cozy merchant sim with simple but satisfying gameplay.”
- “The gameplay loop is familiar – buy items, stack your shelves, and sell them for profit, with the added element of maintaining a garden for key ingredients.”
- “However, the gameplay loop is short and simple.”
- “The NPCs don't talk; you only get letters every couple of days with small story snippets that don't seem to mean anything relevant to current gameplay.”
- “The quirky customers and lighthearted quests add charm, though some mechanics can feel a bit repetitive over time.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be both fun and tedious, often feeling that they have experienced most of the content early on. The process of upgrading shelves and crafting potions can become repetitive, especially for those who are not fans of crafting, leading to a sense of unnecessary tedium as players accumulate space and upgrades that may not significantly enhance gameplay. Overall, while some enjoy the grind, many feel it detracts from the overall experience.
- “In this game, you can place shelves... you get 1 shelf to choose from at the beginning... then after much grinding, you get a second one that's twice as big and costs twice as much... then after more grinding, you get a third one that's twice as big and costs twice as much.”
- “You get more space that won't get used, then bigger pots to grow new plants in, then an 'upgrade' that makes plants wither slower (which isn't even noticeable because they shouldn't be withering in the first place), then even more space that won't get used, then even bigger pots for new plants, then a thing that wasn't important enough to remember, and then... only then after grinding it out to the last upgrade, you get automated watering.”
- “You probably won't even fill out the obscene amount of space in the shop because filling shelves is too tedious and what else would you fill it with?”

The graphics in the game are generally described as "just okay," with a lack of variety in NPCs leading to a dull visual experience in the small town setting. While some players appreciate the colorful art style and fitting music, the overall impression is that the visuals could benefit from more detail and interactivity to enhance engagement.
- “Right off the bat, the game was 10/10. The visuals, controls, storyline, game mechanics, and character lines were great.”
- “You can do that by dressing it up more with flashy graphics or fancy steampunk machinery, or making it more interactive with bellows, knobs, levers, pulleys, and whatever else a magical steampunk alchemist's brewery would entail.”
- “The art style is colorful, the music fits the relaxed vibe, and while NPC variety could be better, it gets the job done.”
- “The graphics are just okay; personally, I don't mind just okay graphics, but the lack of variety in customers in such a small game is a bit dull, and they get boring to look at very quickly. The town area is small but does contain some sacks of gold that you can pick up, but once you pick them up, they are gone for good. The villagers/customers don't have unique dialogue or personalities from what I remember (it has been a bit since I played), and if they did, it wasn't memorable. A shame since you are in such a small area.”
