Alchemickal

Alchemickal is a roguelite twin-stick shooter in which you play an everyday alchemist caught up in elemental combat. You fight through procedurally generated dungeons, using jury-rigged technology to imbue weapons with chemickals and alter your attacks.

Alchemy and combat

Chemickals give your attacks elemental properties. You can shock enemies with chain lightning, melt them with acid or coat them in flammable tar to trigger cascading explosions. Elemental matchups and ancient recipes create different tactical combinations.

Enemies have distinct quirks and may also belong to factions and have elemental affinities. Some bleed, some rust, some can be tricked into attacking their own kin, and others can have their attacks turned against them. Learn their behaviors and exploit their weaknesses to survive each dungeon floor.

Build each run

Every weapon has its own upgrade tree. Between worlds, a cosmic entity offers a rotating stock of strange buffs, while bubbling cauldrons hidden in the dungeon contain alchemickal recipes lost to time. Procedurally generated dungeons contain hazards and ambushes, and permadeath means every run starts from the beginning. Each run can lead to a different arsenal.
