Potionomics

Finished the game and here is my short review. Good: - conversations are funny - design is nice - gameplay itself is good. No bugs found during my playtime - you can continue after the story ends. This is a big! plus Bad: - the concept of the main story is a simple repeat for every week until the end. 1. go to the guild to get the highest grade material 2. replicate the material with higest values which you need for the contest 3. buy the newer couldron if one is available 4. craft the potion and throw it into aging barrels until the contest 5. prepare in the meantime for the money you will need next week. Which means you prepare 1 category of potion that will get a boost at one point. Then sell them all in one go. Be it small, medium or other size. If you had time you can also throw them into the aging barrel and upgrade your shelves for higher value. Repeat this for each week and you are done with the game. Its ... too simple. Tried to spend some time afterwards in the game and its fine but not amazing. Overall I had fun but expected some differences between the contest. The rush to finish the potions is boring as it repeats for each part of the contest. I suggest to pick it up at a discount.

There's an ok amount I like about the game: The style, the writing (it's really fun and very funny!), the concept. But the things I don't like are starting to add up after almost 12 hours: 1) The clunky UI.: Too many loading screens / long load times. You forgot to buy something for your recipe? Better back out of five different screens to hop over to the shop... What item did you need to buy again?? 2) Recipe book isn't a recipe book. It's a vague guide on the colour you're going to need - If you want to remember what items you used for that really nice recipe you made a couple of hours ago, you might want to either set up a gsheet or invest in a pile of post-it notes. 3) The romance: Options are steered very heavily towards furries and lesbians (the men are literally two himbos and a buff shark in need of an attitude adjustment) - nothing wrong with that if you into it. I am not. What ingredient did I use to make X again? Errrrrrrrrrrr Maybe it was on page 10 of this endless slog of things. No? Did I run out? Maybe I'll make something else instead... What ingredients did I use for Y again???????????????? Recipe book would be very useful if it recorded the recipe ingredients you used so you don't require an external method to try and figure this stuff out. For the record, I do not hate this game, but it's started to get on my wick after this many hours on normal mode. Think I'll switch to easy mode and see if that's any less grating on the nerves - if it is, I'll update the review a bit, it won't get a thumbs up though. The negatives are too strong for my taste.

물약을 만들자 그리고 온 마을을 후리자

Great game with Deckbuilding and making potions would recommend it if you like haggling games.

Great gameplay, awesome characters, voice acting is top. One of few games that I enjoyed from start tiil finish

Really nice game, I really like the dialogue and story for each characters, the music, animation, voice actors, the game mechanism and every things!

カードのデザインが特にかわいい

I like pretty much everything about the game. Its a very time management and story heavy game. It is repetitive, but I personally like this sort of game. About the only thing I do tire of is the selling mini card game. Mostly because I feel like a lot of the end game cards aren't as good as early to mid game ones. An I wont lie I was a little miffed that Boss Fin was just a separate purchase that took like 2 yrs to get.
