Blacksmith

I really enjoy this game. I have always been interested in blacksmithing and enjoy the game's story progression. Ever wonder how the heroes made it through that dangerous dungeon when the odds were stacked against them. As they are swinging away with abandon at the monsters in the cave, their weappons and armor do not break. Thats how!!! And this wouldnt be possible without you the blacksmith. Enough said... I like that the developer is very commited to timely updates as needed as well as gathering input from the gamers. This is something I really appreciate and will continue to play. Keep it up!!!

I really like the concept of the game, and hope that some of the bugs/features can be fixed or implemented. One feature I think would be very helpful is a 'time stop' when reading the instruction manuals / tutorials. I would also like a feature where you can sell old weapons; if there is such a feature I haven't been able to find it. There was a message that said that the merchant would visit the town on Saturdays, but I didn't see the merchant? I would also like a feature where our heroes could 'gain experience/levels' when we send them in dungeons, and maybe very slowly increase their health/str/dex/int. Perhaps a starting 10/20/30 for stats instead of 1/2/3 would make it easier to implement such a feature. There are also some bugs, for example a few times after I finished a weapon, I found myself 'out of the screen' (way at the bottom, in the forge); there was also once a 'black screen' after the blacksmith woke up in the morning. In my most recent game, I sent the hero Krush with...

I have about 15 hours in game, having played it pre-release. Blacksmith is fundamentally about equiping heroes and upgrading your town, you unlock new items/charaters and stories by sending your heroes on missions and interacting with the townsfolk and other characters you meet. Its these little stories that play out with characters, as you upgrade and gain rapor with them, that I've really enjoyed. Each character has their own little arc to discover. You might be required to send a certain hero to a certain dungeon to progress their stroyline, or you might meet a new character/find new items or be able to contruct new buildings. I have about 7 hours in one single playthrough and I still have plenty of character quests to finish, dungeons to complete and gear to craft. There are some visual bugs and a bit of polish needed, but with future updates to equipment/townbulding/characters and story on the way, theres a lot to look forward to.

I like the unique take this game provides. I can definitely feel the mix of Idle/RPG, which I love. There seems to be a lot more to the game than I first realized. Just learned I will eventually get to enchant the gear I make and that there will be bosses my heroes have to face. I like the town management side as well, keeping the villagers in the best tools has a lot of benefits and seems to be a lot of things to unlock for the town. I also personally like the art style, it has a paper mario feel to it, though I am sure some may not agree. The dev has been very helpful too and seems to be involved and I think plans to continue to work on the game.

This is a nice game about a blacksmith and how he can influence the town improvements and heroes' strength. At first you'll struggle to know what's what and how to make a good equipment. But later on when you've comprehended how things work it will be quite easy to do. There's some that I think can still be improved like the shortcuts, battle speed that have minuscule effect and overlapping popup message but overall it's good

I just fancy blacksmithing and gave a chance to the only game that seems to have a depth in more than one way. I came looking for copper, found gold. It deserves much more credit than it has. Loved it.

Just nipped back to write a first impressions review. In short, I can only guess that content updates are regular, as many of the other reviews complain of lack of tutorials, yet there appears to be an abundance of them. That said, you are pretty much free to decide if you wish to focus on supplying tools and equipment on demand or wish to prioritise other things. I do feel the day was a little rushed and would prefer the clock advanced at half the current pace. It would also be nice to see the clock while looking at the map. In addition, where as you'd expect many buildings close at certain hours, it would be more friendly if "Closed" signs and "Open at" appeared constantly over the currently closed buildings, so you could instantly see your options. When you find and chat with villagers you'll automatically note things that are needed by them ie tools. When in the smithy, click the appropriate yellow button and you'll see the currently outstanding list. It would improve things fur...

Maybe a cute 3$ game but for 10$? Sorry but I´ve seen better designed free flash games...

I bought this game without knowing much about it beyond what's on the store page and I genuinely enjoyed it. It's not perfect by any means, there are some bugs... However, the core game play is solid. If you are looking for a way to forge away a few afternoons give it a try, you'll know rather quickly if this game is for you or not. There is also some new content and bug fixes going on, that got me back into the game again. Thanks for the game dev!

I played a few hours, having played it pre-release. What can I say? Cool idea, cool design, cool voices, in blacksmith you take the role of the town's blacksmith, helping the town and the heroes to develop themselves. Also lots of contents, lots of weapons/armors/dungeons/short stories from each character to discover and more with the updates. What I really love is you can prepare the heroe you chose with these big weapons, send them to a dungeon and see that shiny new weapon hitting some big numbers (really like Krush). The forge isn't complex but can require some skills to take out all of it and overall the gameplay is very nice. Equip those heroes and drive them to glory!
