Recently, having been inspired by a number of things, I decided my new project would be focused primarily on alchemy. While this works on an aesthetic and story level, I'm having trouble making it work outside of those two things. Most games that include alchemy often use it as part of their crafting system, such as the Atelier series, but not much beyond that (at least, as far as my understanding goes), but I was looking for something more than that. While I was planning on including a similar system for crafting, I mainly wanted there to be some way to have the player essentially use alchemy to fight off enemies.

Sadly, the most I can come up with for this is:

Allowing the player to "reforge" weapons in battle to react to different enemies (i.e. changing a Sword to a Spear to deal with an enemy weak to Pierce attacks).


And not much else.

Any ideas on how to go about this whole alchemy-based combat system?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
