About Brew
Brew is an action‑packed roguelite that mixes fast combat with an alchemy‑focused crafting system. While fighting, you collect ingredients and brew potions that can be drunk, thrown, or loaded into your weapon.
Progress is measured by climbing The Tower, unlocking new recipes, badges, and secret rooms. Between runs you can talk with classmates and professors, and gifting items is presented as a way to deepen those relationships.
01 / THE GUIDE
Crafting System
During battles you gather ingredients and immediately brew them into a variety of potions. The store description notes that each potion can be used by drinking, throwing, or loading into your weapon.
The system rewards quick decisions, because you must choose which potion to create and how to apply it while combat continues. New recipes become available as you master alchemy, expanding the options you can employ.
- Try mixing different ingredient combinations early to see which recipes become available.
- Watch how each potion’s usage (drink, throw, load) fits the flow of a fight before committing to a recipe.
02 / THE GUIDE
Potion Gun
The potion gun allows you to load a brewed potion directly into your weapon. Loading a potion is described as upgrading the gun, linking the weapon’s behavior to the potion’s properties.
Because the gun’s upgrade depends on the loaded potion, changing the potion between runs gives you a different functional experience each time you fire.
- Load a potion you plan to use frequently and note how the gun feels compared to an unloaded state.
- Swap loaded potions between attempts to compare the feel of each upgrade.

Tower Progression
Climbing The Tower is the central loop; each floor presents enemies, secret rooms, and chances to test new potions. The description says you use potions to climb further into The Tower.
Reaching higher floors unlocks additional potion recipes and unique badges, while secret rooms provide extra challenges and resources that supplement the main path.
- When you see a side passage, consider entering it to locate a secret room.
- Balance the risk of pushing higher with the reward of new recipes that become available.

Achievements & Badges
Brew features Steam Achievements and unique badges that unlock as you master alchemy, discover recipes, and clear secret rooms. The description links badges to learning new potion recipes.
These milestones serve as tangible goals, encouraging players to experiment with different potion combos and explore hidden content within The Tower.
- Review the badge list to set personal objectives for each run.
- Focus on less‑used potion types if you aim to unlock rarer achievements.

Social Interaction
The game includes classmates and professors you can converse with, give gifts to, or simply spend time with. The store text calls deepening friendships the key to enjoying student life.
These interactions are presented as narrative elements rather than combat mechanics, offering additional context and dialogue while you progress through runs.
