Has potential but is missing many smithing mechanics a player would expect from game like this.
It doesn't matter how you form the weapons - you just hit the metal a few times.
The temperature of the smelting or forging don't matter - you just wait a few seconds.
It doesn't matter where you sharpen the weapon - you just move it side to side quickly.
It doesn't matter how you arrange the weapon parts - you just click the pieces and its automatic.
The game needs to give the player finer mechanics when forging the weapons to have an impact on the weapon quality, right now it is too simple

Let me start by saying I am a game tester i have tested many games professionally. Normally the games are in about this shape so nothing new, however, this is a big letdown because I do some blacksmithing on the side and this game intrigued me. There are many bugs such as if you buy in bulk it deletes some or put it in storage it deletes it so you can't complete orders that need leather for example. Sharpening the helt of axes and needing to sharpen flat hammers. Hammer anywhere and it will come out perfect every time ,make it like the bartering system for aiming for strikes the better the weapon the more you can get for it. ill leave it at that i have much more to say but no one will probably care to hear.

it looks really fun but the controls, and ui is so bad i cannot play it...

unfinished game

In current state it's not worth it. Wonky controls (you click and it performs action 3-4 times instead of one), everything is done for you and only one blackmisthing job which you do manually - sharpening - is done terribly, I just sharpened axe by using grinding wheel on its hilt. And it's not like I wanted to break the game, they just wouldn't allow me to sharpen actual blade. There are definitely better blacksmithing sims that are better than this, but maybe this will be better in time... for now it's not worth it.

very glitchy if you do something before finishing the ENTIRE "tutorial" you cant continue to play and the game doesnt save any progress for some reason

I can't recommend this game as it is, but i am positive about it's release and will play the full game when it releases.

fun idea, clunky gameplay and execution

This game is broken. The smelter eventually quits working. It allows you to add coal, but the smelt button no longer works. Also, when you sharpen an ax, it grinds the handle. This is a very lazy made game. Nothing impressive here at all. Very basic customer interaction. They create a line out the door, and block you from getting in or out. There is a mini bartering game, based on you timing the click within the green areas, to get a better profit, but if you miss, you end up with less than par. Mining is as basic and boring as humanly possible. I played for 88 minutes, and that was all I needed to see, to know where this game will be ranked. I vote for the round file.

the storage is too limited to allow continuation of fun
