During their adventure, the young alchemist Sophie and the incredible puppet master Prafda, see the mysterious giant tree that Prafda had seen in her dream, and then the vortex that appears takes the two to the other world of "Edvig", where they are separated. There is also an alchemist named "Prafda" in the other world, which is obviously intentional by the designers. Too specific plot doctor will not be revealed, everyone will experience it better. Friends who have not been in contact with the series do not have to worry about not understanding the plot, and there is a synopsis in the game.
In terms of game screen, the character's 3D mod has a vivid expression performance, the texture of the costume material is very exquisite, and the action in the battle is relatively smooth, and everyone can see the screenshot to know a little bit. Compared with "Lesha's Alchemy Workshop", the details of "Sophie's Alchemy Workshop 2" have evolved to a certain extent, such as: the lighting of the characters and the scene is more coordinated.
"Sophie's Alchemy Workshop 2" is set on the map with materials that abound, and you can't pick them up! If you are a collector, then you will be very happy in the process of the game, from mowing, catching insects to fishing, each gameplay is different, and there is no failure, very comfortable! In addition, a new "weather system" has been added to the game, and the corresponding stone tablets will appear on the map, and when the plot is advanced to a certain extent, you can use props to change the weather and explore accordingly.
The battle continues the turn-based combat of the "Incredible" series, which uses a battle mode of three forwards and three defenders, and integrates "exchange" into attack and defense in one go, plus each member can equip alchemical items, so the rhythm of the battle is more bright. In terms of monsters, they will enhance their abilities based on the weather, increase the difficulty of the player's challenge, and also make alchemy more existential, only by mastering the game skills can they achieve more with less.
The so-called alchemy is still the theme of the "Incredible" series, in addition to the special items required by the plot and the items that respond to the requests of the residents, the player always needs to collect materials with different attributes for alchemical synthesis. In Sophie's Alchemy Workshop 2, the blending system returns to the "incredible" series of "panel blending" gameplay, using the connection of fire, ice, electricity, wind, light and other elements, the so-called bingo effect, which will make the finished product more outstanding. In addition, we can also see the alchemical exchange between Sophie and Prafda in the game, which is very interesting!
