April 2025
I think this game is really enjoyable! I am not sure how effective it would be upon replay, due to the nature of it being a stat building game. I know I was tiring a bit of all the finessing by the end of my Serin playthrough. Honestly though the characters are really enjoyable, I remember when I played this game a few years ago I romanced Aurelius before there was any in depth guides and was lost on how to get a good ending. If I plan to replay this game in the future, I am definitely going to find a way to just change all the stats to max so I can just see what I missed since I am mostly interested in the story/characters and I haven't played Nazir's route. I think it's a solid 8/10, I'd recommend it if the stat building aspect isn't a deterrent, the characters are some of the better written within the 'otome' game genre and I had a lot of fun being able to identify as nonbinary! That is a rare treat with this kind of game, so I don't want to under-appreciate that! MILD SPOILERS [for romantic pacing] My one major complaint is that it feels this story is a little TOO slow burn, at least in Serin's route. The game happens over 60 weeks, that's a year and 2 months. Despite that length, the romance isn't really explicitly 'romantic' until week 58 [and I'm talking about literally just holding hands]. I feel like considering the scale and amount of opportunities this would have been more satisfying if the relationship was more explicit by week 40 and it gave more time for you to stew in the romance. Either way, the ending was sweet.

Got my first death within about 30 minutes. Then got my first ending about 10 hours in. It's a fun game and the story is super interesting. I'm looking forward to exploring more storylines!

I'd say the best part of the Royal Alchemist are likeable characters, their interactions with the MC and the overall atmosphere. The MC is well-developed and amiable, which is definetely a huge pro for me. The story is interesting, with a few twists that I have not expected. The core gameplay mechanic of classes and points can get a bit tedious considering its randomness. Personally, I've encountered a few situations when I had to load previous saves. There's also a bug with the protector achievement, as it is obtained not when it is supposed to. Overall, the Royal Alchemist is worth recommending, especially, if you like me, long for more fantasy visual novels where you can choose to play as the LGBT+ character.

What I like is the story and the different routes that I can take. I like that it's challenging and that I have to think. Some things i'm not quite happy with are the lack of pictures in the gallery. This is what I play for, those gallery pics lol. But the game is very fun although I played royal order before this one so the art style is somewhat of a setback but still wonderful. Overall, I would love to have some more games like this, like maybe the royal lady in waiting lol. Kidding, but I genuinely enjoy these games a great deal. Thanks

came for the cute princes and stayed for the absolutely riveting plot and fun little mechanics of the game. even as a normally sore loser but i didnt mind dying, saving, reloading, and replaying just to experience new bits and bobs of the world and characters. the story's extremely well-written and hit a lot of good beats, funny and bittersweet and everything in between. pat on the back for the developers; yall the real ones
