ESDigital Games and Alchemical Work are excited to announce that Act 2 of their buzzing title BattleJuice Alchemist is out now via Steam and Epic Games Store. Praised as “Diablo 4 meets Darkest Dungeon” by PCGamesN and for its “dense and complex” gameplay by The Gamer, today is the perfect time to dive into Act 2’s new desert landscape: The Well. Featuring an array of enigmatic characters shrouded in mysterious motives – from glyph-solving scholars to smooth-talking salesmen – there’s a whole new wilderness to traverse, rewards to claim, and rituals to learn, all with the added bonus of an increased level cap for those seeking an epic final confrontation.
“It’s incredibly exciting to finally share these new environments and stories with our players. The Well is a place we’ve poured so much creativity into, and we can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks about it!” – said Alain Brunote, Founder and CEO at Alchemical Work.
The exciting features of Act 2 include in their entirety:
- New Desert City: Explore The Well, a sprawling oasis filled with ancient secrets and sorcery.
- Unique NPCs: Interact with eccentric residents, each with their own motives and mysteries.
- Expanded Wilderness: Venture into the surrounding desert to uncover ruins, farmlands, and hidden dangers.
- Powerful Rewards: Discover unique items with strange abilities that can change the tide of battle.
- New Rituals: Learn both offensive and defensive spells to aid your journey.
- Increased Level Cap: Level up to 50 and grow stronger for the ultimate confrontation.

Find and craft items with game-changing powers. Master BattleJuice Alchemist’s deck-building mechanics by arranging your compilation of flasks to suit your playstyle. Accentuate your character beyond character customization by using ritual magic as long-term buffs. Meet strange creatures from the Crossroads while the dark plot of BattleJuice Alchemist unravels.
Features included in BattleJuice Alchemist:
- Loot and Craft: As an alchemist, you wear no armour and wield no sword, but you rain down fire on your enemies. Find flasks with unique properties in the wilderness or craft them at your workbench. In deck-building fashion you create a compilation of flasks which you randomly draw from.
- Unique Skill System: In BattleJuice Alchemist, your flasks are your skills. Every flask can be used the normal way and at times in a supercharged, “jucified” way for stronger effects. Some flasks have powers attached to them that drastically change their effects when used, which allows you to develop your own playstyle.
- Procedural Landscapes, Hand-crafted Towns: The world of BattleJuice Alchemist is separated into vast levels of procedural landscape. Every valley, sea, river, mountain, building, stone, tree, and item is placed by a unique algorithm. This allows you to continue exploring after you complete the main story. Quest locations are still hand-crafted to tell compelling stories.
- Dark Lands to Discover: You are influenced by daytime and weather effects, and so are your enemies. But they are also buffed by the evermore spawning demons’ presence. Find dark altars to hold their influence at bay and discover many other secrets.
- Classic isometric ARPG action: Fight your enemies from afar in a classic top-down view. Throw explosive or freezing flasks at them, and prepare ambushes of explosive barrels. Use the “Frog Hop” flask to jump away from danger or right into close combat.
- Close Combat with Bullet-time: Enter close combat with an enemy, where you can interact hands-on by dodging or using smoke flasks to avoid being hit. Manage your resources and flasks during these intense one-on-one battles against your awe-inspiring enemies from the Crossroads.
