Gameplay

The dungeon size is 32 rooms wide x 16 rooms deep; however, some clues appear intermittently and therefore rooms must be carefully inspected over many visits.

Reception

Forrest Johnson reviewed Alkemstone in The Space Gamer No. 48. Johnson commented that "Don't buy this one unless you seriously intend to win the five thou and have a high tolerance for boredom."
