 Hey everyone welcome to alchemy stars so today I'm going to be giving you guys a beginner's perspective on alchemy stars and is this game still good to start in 2022 okay so just to give you guys kind of a background on how I came into playing this one I saw this game while back in 2021 it kind of coincided with the launch of counter side but I think both of them were you know either were either counter side was going first then then this one or vice versa so anyway I was playing xo zeros during the time I still was playing xo zeros I wanted to bring in new game which I chose counter side I didn't I didn't choose this game and ever since that day I actually am regretting why I didn't choose this game over counter side it's not that I don't want counter side but I could have played both of them but I didn't so again um I really regret not playing this for 2021 but yes 2022 this game is going to be very much very viable to play I'll tell you with a couple of reasons why okay so currently I'm as you can see here just a little bit of proof so I'm at my ninth day of playing so I've been playing the game um consistently every day getting to know the game progressing as far as I can so the first reason why you should play this game is catching up some players have a problem with catching up with this game or sorry some players have a problem catching up in a gotcha game because normally most gotcha games have PvP but this one does not have any PvP all of your game modes are going to be in PvE so as you can see here resource secret territory extra chapter spire all of these are in PvE so the only the only problem that you'll be having here is starting from scratch while others have advanced already but honestly I don't think it's a problem because you can play at your own pace um doesn't matter where if if others are six months in advanced as you are doesn't matter because again you won't compete with them right you won't play against them so this game will basically be up to you and how you want to play it what is your pace what is your appetite for new um new heroes new characters so that is that is going to be your pacing in terms of how you're going to progress are you going to spend for this game so again play at your own pace so for the past nine eight days I've been playing at my own pace and I'm happy I'm not competing with anybody I'm basically kept competing with myself um I'll tell you more about it in a while so it would take you around one to two months to clear difficult stages yes because obviously you'll have to level up your heroes you'll have to ascend them um there are a lot of there are a lot of let me just go through let me just go through one character here which is Revi you'll have to break through them you'll have to ascend ascend is easier breaking through is much more difficult because it requires you to get more copies of of that character so again this will really not really this will kind of slow you down a bit but it's not going to be a problem again you'll be playing this at your own pace this concludes my catching up so again you won't have any problem catching up with the game you will be you will be more or less be progressing depending on your appetite on progression whether you're going to be buying or purchasing from the store it's really up to you it's going to hasten your um your acquisition of heroes and clearing some of the stages um I'm going to tell you all about it later next is going to be content okay so going back to content there are a lot of content to be cleared here so you have here your regular content for the game again and this is going to be your your your event content but this is the current event dragon maids break so again frequently the game has a lot of events so don't worry about content I don't think you'll have a problem or you'll have what you call this you'll have the problem of lacking content or you'll be idle for quite a while but again the game does have a lot of content to play with so that is your your content then you have your colossus your colossus basically is your ship that you're on so your facilities um it's it also as you can see here you have to develop certain areas you have to level them up so there are a lot of things to do I've achieved this already in eight days so a lot of things to claim affinities to level up so that is it the only the only I think a hurdle that you'll be getting from this game is the energy system which is the prism so as soon as you you play some content of this game it would require you prism and also to refresh prism it will require you this one the lumamber lumamber okay because so you can purchase prism here so just gonna give you an example let's just purchase one 40 as you can see there 40 was just the deducted so this but this currency by the way is used for summoning as well so you're basically torn between progressing further and also summoning new heroes so that is it so again if you want to take your time you can save this up and wait for your prism to refresh that can be you know that can be your option um what else do we have here so in terms of my current progression as you can see I'm at for the story I'm at seven dash seven kind of okay for you know for a eight day you know eight day span which I've been playing so so far that's it for content next would definitely be your characters or the aurorians that you're going to play so aurorians are your heroes for the game these will be the ones that you're going to be leveling up so you have four types of aurorians you have water you have fire or flame then you have forest then you have the last one is thunder I like to call them lightning but they're called thunder anyway so you have four groups of aurorians ideally at the start you have to have your core but eventually you'll have to develop a team of five because there are certain stages that only require you to bring a aurorian of a specific element so as you can see I've been trying to level up at level 40 the reason why I'm leveling them up at level 40 is because I want to unlock their equipment so let's go to Sariel here so Sariel here has unlocked equipment already if you go back to those who are not at who have not been what they call this not been ascended yet so let's uh to check out Chloe so for Chloe her equipment is still locked so again as a beginner you really have to at least reach um uh ascension at least once it's easy to ascend up to the first ascension um as long as you know you get the resources that you need for a specific aurorian okay again it would take you a lot of time to level them up because you'll be needing energy your prisms and your prisms definitely are limited per day so that is your limitation in leveling them again that is why it's going to take you a while to level up a couple so um the one thing that is good with um your characters or aurorians is the recruit system the recruit system definitely has a good drop rate as you can see here drop rate is um 20 is 2% and there is a and the probability increases so check out the what they call this check out the the banners that you have here and their probability rates this is going to be your event uh banner and this is your standard banner as you can see the probability increases as you summon it doesn't stick to a certain rate then you're guaranteed in the end but um it definitely increases up to 100 so again the drop the drop rates are very good for this game um easy to get dupes in no time so i tell you guys again the game is very free to play friendly um you don't have to rush playing this it again boils down to your appetite in terms of how far you're gonna go in such a short period of time okay for my account um i must confess i did buy some packs but as you can see for um most of my teams i'm already complete i only bought packs good 440 summons that's it so if if i just take away some of the summons that i bought from the packs my summons are still d-set because at this point i already have almost complete the five teams for each element so this is going to be my lightning team then this is going to be my force team fire team is up here so as you can see take note this is ascension this is your level and the one that i'm trying to complete now at least to ascension one and to level 40 is my water team so water is um so i'm i'm down to these two to put up to level 40 so again for for a period of a week or eight days i think this is a decent progression ready if again if you just take out the 40 summons that i that i paid for it's still d-set guys imagine that you could you know assemble two full teams in just the what two week and one week so again the characters here are easy to get you won't have a problem you really enjoy playing with these characters that you've summoned and also the last uh not the last but the fourth point that i'm going to be be pointing out guys is the developers for this game um they are tour dog studio so they they're the ones who develop the game um as far as um in terms of feedback from the community and uh responses from some of the players that i talked to um they have been very responsive to the community and they have been very generous um i've actually seen this and even in their giveaways they're very generous don't worry about your summons you're gonna you know you're gonna be generating these in no time what is my you know what is the selling point for this game what is really the main you know the main reason why i'm playing it number one is the unique gameplay uh of tiles uh tile uh what they call attacking through tiles um what else so let's let's do this so as you can see here the start of the battle you have tiles in the game so for a if you are if you have a lightning team definitely you'll attack more with yellow tiles so let's put this on auto so that we could talk more for this game so you have tiles there you can convert tiles you can attack through tiles you can actually attack even if the color of your tile is not in your element so again there are a lot of mechanics in the game which make it very unique very unique in terms of how to approach the game how to how to complete it and that is really what i want in a gotcha game um something unique something different from what we're used to next is the 2d art and graphics obviously the 2d art as you can see in my home screen um character graphics 2d art is very spectacular and also skill animations even if you're only seeing this part definitely the skill animations i really appreciate and again one of the things that i'd like to repeat is um the drop rates for the game so the drop rates increase as you summon for a specific banner so again getting five star six star is not that difficult and as you build your own team even if you're gonna base it off tier lists um there is still creativity there in combining characters combining heroes so again it gives you a sense of being a tactician in terms of where to go which style to go what combos do you need to to to what you call this to do in order to finish this in one turn so those kind of things you know play into this special game so again if you're looking for a unique game that would really um take you into a different perspective in how games are played there's a gotcha games are played definitely alchemy stars is one of the best that came out of 2021 that i think you should play even in 2022 so i'm starting or i started it already so again i hope to see you guys play this game um you should play this game now as in today because this game really spectacular it it gets better and better with every event with every character added um it gets really better so more or less that is my last say for this game so again i'd just like to finish this out so that we could get the goodies for this one um what else for this game this game what can i say i really missed playing this i've seen this i've ignored it and it was really a mistake don't make the same mistake that i did try to play this game um try to you know try to try it out try it out for a week see how it favors in terms of of how you want a game to be played and see if if it's in your liking but for me guys any gotcha game that has a very good and unique game mechanic i'm really up for it i hope you guys are playing this this year and i hope to see you in my future guides so anyway guys so thank you for staying this far in this video and hopefully i can see you in future videos for alchemy stars okay guys thank you very much stay safe take care this is the warden and i'm out of here
