How it feels

You run a forge, methodically smelting alloys and hammering shapes into custom weapons and armor, then watch your creations aid heroes and grow a quiet town.

What players say

Players are split on Blacksmith. Some find the core loop of smithing and town development rewarding, with a unique perspective on the RPG genre. Others are frustrated by bugs, crashes, a clunky UI, poor tutorials, and a slow pace that makes it hard to get into.
