Alchemic Beasts is the next project from White Guardian Studios, and it’s shaping up to be a mix of Pokémon-style monster wrangling and old-fashioned turn-based scrap-ups.
Due sometime in 2026, it drops you into the shoes of Zieg, who’s been dragged back to life by a companion named Mioni, then sent off to tame creatures, rebuild a broken world called Mizu, and, because there’s always one, knock the horns off a demon king.
There are more than two hundred beasts to catch, bond with, and evolve, each tied to an alchemy system that lets you fiddle with elemental ores to see what they become.
Battles lean on a stagger system where knocking enemies off balance sets up heavier follow-throughs, and outside the fighting, you’ll be foraging for bits and bobs to brew potions or keep your beasts fed.
The idea is that every task you complete slowly restores Mizu, bringing people back and piecing the place together again.
The developer has been sharing creature reveals and design notes on Steam, including the Nosfu, a ten-foot-tall herbivore that’s content to graze until you rile it up, at which point it gathers the herd and makes trouble.
There’s also been chatter about whether monsters should trail behind you in the world, Chao Garden-style, which feels like the sort of decision that makes a small game world feel alive.
For now it’s a single-player affair, with English as the only supported language and modest PC requirements. It’s available to wishlist on Steam, and White Guardian says they’ll keep posting updates as work rolls on toward release. Below are some more details and a teaser trailer.
