How it feels

You mine, smelt, and forge weapons step-by-step in a first-person fantasy workshop, exploring abandoned mines and supplying adventurers to shape the story.

What players say

Players praise the core blacksmithing loop as satisfying and relaxing, but split on the quality-of-life and side activities: mining and combat are widely called atrocious, while the forge itself delivers. The developer is noted for rapid patches and frequent updates through early access.
