Press release:
03 JUNE 2021.
The indie games developer Jabari Alii is today very happy and delighted to announce that his magic-themed roguelike ARPG “Rules of Alchemy” is coming to PC via Steam in 2021.
To celebrate, a demo will be available from today for all players on Steam. A brand-new announcement trailer has also been revealed.
Taking place in a land corrupted by the machinations of a crazed alchemist, Rules of Alchemy invites players to step into the shoes of the game’s hero, Asha, and master the elements to secure an ancient artefact – the only chance of salvation for this shattered world.
Rules of Alchemy encourages players to craft powerful spell combos using the intuitive Runegate system. With the ability to combine various elemental spells together, players can cast over 100 different spell combinations, to take down a huge assortment of unique and powerful enemies.
Players are invited to carve their own way through the game, via strategic character builds, epic spell combinations, and over 2000 unique weapons and items.
Featuring deep RPG mechanics and a shifting procedurally generated world where no two playthroughs are the same, Rules of Alchemy is an uncompromising roguelike which is easy to pick up, but requires skill to master.
“As a solo developer I can’t begin to describe how proud and excited I am for Rules of Alchemy, and how far it’s come.” said developer Jabari Alii.
“I can’t wait for players to experience the demo and share their thoughts on the game.”
Rules of Alchemy will release on PC via Steam this year, with a demo available from today on Steam. Interested players can wishlist the game now to be notified upon its release.
