Alkahest- New Action-Adventure RPG Game Announced

Calling all RPG fans! Indie developer Push On has stirred up a potion of excitement with the announcement of their brand new action-adventure RPG, “Alkahest.” This first-person game promises to quench your thirst for intense combat, rich world exploration, and a deep alchemy system, all set in a murky medieval world.

Players will take on the role of a young upstart in the kingdom of Kadanor. Forget being a prince or chosen one – you’re the youngest son of a minor lord, and respect needs to be earned. The kingdom itself is on the brink of chaos, with three major houses vying for power. This political turmoil provides the backdrop for your adventures, where you’ll have to make your mark through cunning and strength.

Brutal Beauty: A Murky Medieval World

Alkahest isn’t your typical fairy tale land. This world is steeped in a dark and gritty atmosphere, reminiscent of a time where life was harsh and survival wasn’t guaranteed. Imagine “Game of Thrones” meets “The Witcher 3” – that’s the kind of vibe Push On is going for. Expect to explore war-torn villages, crumbling castles, and dense, foreboding forests. The developers have emphasized that environments will be highly interactive, so you can expect to use your surroundings to your advantage in combat encounters.

Become a Master Alchemist

One of the key features that sets Alkahest apart is its unique alchemy system. Forget picking up mana potions and health packs – in this game, you’ll be crafting your own tools for survival. Players will gather ingredients throughout the world, following recipes or experimenting with their own concoctions. The possibilities seem endless – you could brew a healing elixir, a flaming bomb to throw at enemies, or even a potion to boost your strength for a short period. The outcome of your concoctions can be unpredictable, so experimentation is encouraged!

Fight Like You Mean It: Strategic, First-Person Combat

Alkahest isn’t just about chugging down potions and swinging a sword wildly. The combat is designed to be strategic and rewarding skillful play. Enemies will be dynamic, adapting their tactics based on the situation. They might flee if overwhelmed or regroup to launch a surprise attack. Environments will once again play a big role – you can use objects in the world to your advantage, such as dropping a tree trunk on an enemy or kicking them off a cliff.

The game draws inspiration from titles like “Dark Messiah of Might and Magic” and “Dishonored,” which means players can expect a good mix of brutal melee combat and creative environmental manipulation. Stealth also appears to be a viable option, allowing you to scout areas and take down enemies silently.

Building Your Legend: Choice and Consequence

Alkahest promises a world that reacts to your choices. Your decisions will have a ripple effect on the story and the people you meet. Will you be a ruthless mercenary, a cunning alchemist, or a noble warrior fighting for a cause? The choice is yours, and your reputation will precede you.
