Alchemy is something many players have enjoyed as a side activity in video games in the hope of better improving their chance of survival against bosses or the basic enemy. Some games have well-thought-out Alchemy systems that allow these gamers to role-play characters that's main focus is brewing potions to sell to others.
Some titles go as far as making the whole game about being an alchemist and running a shop that helps the local townsfolk during trying times, mostly in the medieval fantasy ages. Players that are looking for their chance to step into the shoes of a budding alchemist need to look no further, as there is a wide variety of potions to be brewed.
10 Minecraft
As many players would know, the main purpose of Minecraft isn't to brew potions, though it is an interesting mechanic that will have players hunting for ingredients and memorizing recipes to make the most interesting potions.
When playing with others, these players may designate each other roles that can lead to one becoming the alchemist who can supply the potions for their friends. These potions could be handed out in kindness or perhaps traded for materials that may be needed. In this sandbox, anything is possible.
9 The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim
Similar to Minecraft, Skyrim has plenty of other quests and adventures for a player to embark on, but after over ten years of adventuring, players have started to make their own fun. While exploring the lands of Skyrim, a player may collect ingredients and dedicate themselves to learning more about what each of them does when combined with others.
It is also possible to improve this skill to make even better potions or even poisons, which can then be sold for a profit at the stores a player can visit in each town.
8 Wonderbook: Book Of Potions
The Wonderbook, which released on the PlayStation 3, was an exciting new idea at the time that allowed players to experience games directly in their living room through augmented reality. Book of Potions was one of these games that took place inside the Harry Potter universe. It allowed players to experience a short story while actively making the potions.
After unlocking a variety of ingredients, players had the freedom to mix whatever they wished together to make their own interesting concoctions to test on a toad that would have hilarious effects.
7 Alchemist Adventure
An exciting part of being an alchemist is the experimentation of combining ingredients to find out what it could create. Alchemist Adventure relies heavily on this, as combining materials doesn't only defeat enemies, but also solves puzzles.
As the game advances, it becomes more and more of a challenge for players as there is no auto-save, and the save points significantly decrease as the adventure continues. With an intriguing tale to find and save the protagonist's daughter and husband, this alchemist is not waiting idly in a shop to test out her brews.
6 Little Witch In The Woods
Alchemists and witches are quite alike, especially when it comes to making potions. In Little Witch in the Woods, the player follows the life of the apprentice witch Ellie as she pursues a goal of becoming a formal witch.
Once again, players will be collecting ingredients and brewing potions that will help solve the problems the dear townsfolk of Witch House have. With a large, mysterious fantasy world to explore and a wide range of interesting characters, there is plenty to keep a budding witch amused while completing their apprenticeship.
5 The Serpent Rogue
Plague Doctors are like alchemists too, especially in The Serpent Rogue, where the player wakes up as a little person in a beaked mask with the sole goal of saving the world from a corruption. This storm crosses the map and infects the wildlife.
In this gothic world, players must not only brew potions that will cure individuals but also recruit the help of familiars to aid them on their quests. The game can be quite a challenge to understand, especially with so many ingredients to find and use.
4 Alchemist Simulator
Running a small alchemy shop is more than just brewing potions; it relies heavily on the customers that visit. In Alchemist Simulator, players must choose the contracts they wish to complete carefully, as each one can affect the world that surrounds their shop.
Taking over the shop of a relative can leave a lot to live up to, and therefore the player will be constantly striving for greatness to become a legendary alchemist. This will be done by upgrading the lab and experimenting with ancient recipes that call for bizarre ingredients.
3 Wytchwood
Set in a land of gothic fables and fairy tales with an excellent storybook art style, the player takes on the role of an ancient witch with a large purpose. Exploring this world, players will need to brew enchantments to defeat magnificent beasts and complete other quests.
Players will meet a large cast of characters that they must pass judgment on, as they have caused problems in the world. It is down to the player to decide if they should be punished or forgiven for these things they have done.
2 Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator
In this potion maker that's art style is heavily inspired by medieval manuscripts and books, gameplay focuses heavily on concocting and selling potions. Potion Craft goes as far as giving alchemists the freedom to change the design of the bottles they sell their products in.
Players will need to think strategically when using and brewing their ingredients, as the large map reveals how close or far a player is to brewing a successful potion. Contracts should be chosen carefully, as helping the wrong people can ruin the reputation of the store.
1 Alchemy Garden
Alchemy Garden combines the usual mechanics of becoming an alchemist with tending to a garden that will grow the ingredients needed for better potions. Starting off, players will need to go out and explore for the ingredients they require; eventually, they will be able to start their own garden to better sustain their potions.
Apart from creating potions, players have full freedom of customization as they can not only fully customize their character with different hairstyles and clothes but also customize their shop by crafting furniture they unlock.
