BattleJuice Alchemist

BattleJuice Alchemist follows Juice, an alchemist called to Caribou Creek to fight demons roaming the lands. You explore a wilderness based on what was once New England, meet strange creatures from the Crossroads and uncover a dark plot. Combat shifts between isometric, top-down action and close-quarters fights in bullet time.

Flasks and builds

You wear no armor or wield a sword; instead, you attack with flasks. Find flasks with unique properties in the wilderness or craft them at your workbench, then arrange a compilation of them in a deck-building system. You draw flasks randomly, and each one serves as a skill that can be used normally or, at times, in a stronger “jucified” form. Some flasks have attached powers that drastically change their effects, letting you shape your playstyle. You can also customize Juice and use ritual magic for long-term buffs.

Explore the lands

The world is divided into vast levels of procedurally generated landscapes, where an algorithm places valleys, seas, rivers, mountains, buildings, stones, trees and items. Quest locations are hand-crafted, and you can keep exploring after completing the main story. Daytime and weather affect you and your enemies, while the presence of evermore-spawning demons also buffs them. Find dark altars to hold their influence at bay and uncover other secrets.

Fight the demons

In top-down combat, you can attack from afar with explosive or freezing flasks and prepare ambushes using explosive barrels. The “Frog Hop” flask lets you leap away from danger or into close combat. In close-quarters fights, you face enemies one on one, dodging or using smoke flasks to avoid hits while managing your resources and flasks.
