Performance profile

Released in January 1984, Alchemist predates modern GPU acceleration as we know it today. It runs effortlessly on virtually any current hardware, including integrated graphics and entry-level laptops — framerate is limited by the engine, not the GPU.

Alchemist is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Alchemist; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.

Storyline

You the most skilled Alchemist on Earth have been summoned to do battle with the Evil Warlock who is terrorizing the land. As you enter his dread castle you wonder if even your formidable powers will be enough to defeat this evil force. Your only chance of success is to find the four sections of magic scroll that have been ingeniously hidden in this foreboding place. Only when the four mystic pieces are in your possession will you be able to render the Warlock powerless by using his own "Spell of Destruction" against him. As you fight your way relentlessly onward, every evil creature and force at the Warlocks disposal is unleashed against you.; you hurl lightning bolt after lightning bolt against these powers of darkness, your energy becomes depleted, you must find food to rekindle your ebbing power. As the obstacles become more and more awesome will you have the energy at your command to perform the transformation spell which will turn you into a mighty Golden Eagle and enable you to overcome many of the diabolical traps set for by the Warlock. Your objectives are clear, assemble the magic scroll and banish evil into oblivion for eternity.
