In-game event2 Sep 2026Complete Graphical Overhaul (v0.23)Hello, survivors! We've got a huge update this week that completely revamps our graphical engine; as we move closer and closer to our release date, we're hoping to go back through everything in the game with a fine-tooth comb and polish it up to the standards we want to ship with. This graphical rework is just the first step. Every level in the game has been redesigned with dynamic lighting, a…
Hello, survivors! We went ham on identifying and stamping out a bunch of performance issues this week to ensure the game runs as smooth as we'd like on all devices. But that didn't stop us from also adding in some more survivors to play with (yes, one of them is a literal train). We hope you are enjoying the game! Here's what's new: New Survivor: Sierra · This armor-clad battle marine has a rec…
Hi all, here are some quick fixes we wanted to get in before next week's bigger update. Enjoy! Boss Changes · Maru, the Tenth Life: · Redesigned Maru's protective wisps make it more visually obvious that they will give their life to revive Maru when the boss is killed. · Added 9 wisp pips to the boss's healthbar to represent how many wisps remain to kill. · Added animations to Maru and his wisp…
Hello, survivors! Good news and bad news this week. The good news: there's a ton of new stuff. The bad news: it's all really hard content and is definitely going to kill you. Good luck surviving! New Elite Types Added three new kinds of Elite enemies that can spawn (elites are upgraded versions of enemies, so any enemy can spawn with these modifiers): · Hoarder — collects nearby unclaimed XP ge…
Hello, survivors! We've got a bunch of small tweaks this week to particularly-troublesome enemies, as well as some quality-of-life updates, performance improvements, and a ton of bugfixes. But the big update this week is full Linux support! This also includes a native build for the Steam Deck (instead of using the Windows build with Proton). We'll have more details on our Steam Deck compatibili…

Hello survivors! We've got a world-sized update for you this time that's focused on transforming co-op with several miniature game modes to play, in addition to our "normal" survivors experience. And we're shipping language support for the game, supporting 19 languages to start: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Swed…
Hello survivors! This week's update is a doozy. There's a ton of new stuff mixed with a ton of changes, particularly around game balance. We've heard that the game is very hard and unforgiving for a while now and we've previously tried to tackle that difficulty through more systems to engage in and power yourself up through: crafting, shrines, consumables, equipment, etc. This really raised the…
Hello, survivors! We love to see everyone cooperating to survive the hordes! We've got a very small update to make co-op a little smoother for everyone -- Here's what's new: · Fixed off-screen indicators not showing up for dropped items and bosses · Added new off-screen indicators for other players in co-op · Fixed enemy projectiles sometimes not showing up for all players in co-op · Changed th…
Great news, survivors! Help is on the way! Alchemy Survivors has a brand new Co-op mode which lets up to 4 players queue in together and survive the hordes as a team! We've also worked on a ton of performance improvements for this update to make sure the game is nice and smooth for you and all of your friends. New Mode: Co-op Multiplayer · Up to 4 players can join a game together. Simply host a…
Hello survivors! This week we've focused on combat and balance. We've increased spawn rates and given many enemies armor (which reduces your damage done to them, unless your build includes armor piercing affixes...), which should result in bigger crowds and more interesting movement through them. Because we've amped up the spawn rates, this means you'll also be getting a lot more XP and levelin…
Hello, survivors! The Bullet Fest here on Steam was so fun and we're glad to see everyone having a wonderful time with the game. The play time numbers are honestly insane; many of you are racking up 10-20+ hours so far and there are a few that're nearing 100 hours played! This week we've got a ton of new updates across the entire game (including some incredibly fun new abilities on some charact…
This update focuses on character personalities and making each survivor feel and play unique. We've already experimented with a few per-character movement abilities (you might've seen them on Frog, Grog, and Mambo), but now we're ready to add unique abilities to every survivor. This update adds abilities for many survivors, but there are still many more in development. If you have ideas for coo…
Hi all! Thanks a ton for the feedback on explosions from player weapons. It seems they were a little too potent, especially in later levels where it's almost impossible to avoid some friendly-fire damage as you're swarmed with hordes of fast-moving enemies. Explosive weapons are generally meant to be more powerful than other weapons, with an inherent risk of self-damage associated with the big…
Hi all! We're LOVING being a part of Steam's Bullet Fest and all the new faces we've seen from it. We've had a ton of great suggestions in Discord and over email and can't wait to share even more new stuff soon. Until then, we've got a small-but-still-awesome patch for you a little early this week: we've added Leaderboards to the daily challenge. Besides that, we've polished up some workstation…
Hello, alchemists! We entered Early Access about 2 months ago with an admittedly naive goal of releasing this month. Although we're not quite ready for a full exit from Early Access yet (y'all have had so many awesome ideas on Discord, and there's so much more we want to build!), the game is in a really good spot and we're already seeing a ton of players spend dozens of hours surviving late int…
Hello, survivors! We've got a themed release around merchants, trading, and items this week; but that doesn't mean it isn't also packed full of other goodies! The latest version is now live for Windows, Mac, and Steam Deck! Lets start with the merchant changes and then get into the rest! Merchant Changes : · Rather than spawning random merchants in every level, each level now has its own pool o…
The 0.10 update to Alchemy Survivors is live now on Windows and Mac. It has a ton of stuff; arguably too much stuff... Lets get into it all! 11 New Characters · Epoch, a master swordsman from another time (unlock: survive 20 minutes in any level) · Pyke, a stout dwarf who just wants to mine shiny things (unlock: survive 25 minutes in Quarry) · Mortis, an ephemeral scythe-wielder from another re…
The latest Alchemy Survivors update is now live for both Windows and Mac. There's so much cool stuff in this version I'll just jump right into it all! New characters: · Robin, a hooded archer (unlocked by surviving 5 minutes in the Forest) · Crystal, an ice wizard from the north (unlocked by surviving 10 minutes in the Cemetery) · Titan, a very loud barbarian (unlocked by surviving 10 minutes a…
The survivors keep coming! We see you and we appreciate you. There are lots of great things to explore in this week's update... if you're brave enough! So let's get into what's new - New Level: Brood Den - A festering nest of silk and shadow where countless legs skitter in the dark and the Brood Mother watches from the deep. · Unlocked by killing 500 Giant Spiders in any level · Includes a new…

New features * You may occasionally find a Storage Chest while exploring now. It can store up to 5 items you'd like to keep safe until retrieving them in a future run. Enemy changes: * Reduced the base size of enemy projectile colli…
In Alchemy Survivors, you play as an alchemist trying to stay alive in a world overrun by monsters. You’ll mow down thousands of enemies, hunt for materials, and gather the resources needed to fuel your wild alchemy experiments. As you find more weapons, equipment, and materials each time you play, your true strength emerges from alchemy: the power to combine anything you find into brand-new it…
