About the Game

Forge Your Story!

Blacksmith is the definitive Blacksmithing experience. Make and sell Weapons, Armour and Tools. Send Heroes on Quests and unlock their unique potential. Grow the town of Ironwell and be a part of the community. Master the elements and bend them to your will! Find your true calling as the Blacksmith!


Make and Sell Weapons, Armour and Tools:
A unique crafting system allows for countless possible unique items. Smelt up to 24 different Alloys in the Smelter, hammer them into 27 shapes on the Anvil, customize them even further with Helms, Arms, Blades, Styles, Handles, Enchants, and Dyes, and sell them to the Heroes and Townsfolk. And more with each update!




Dungeons and Quests:
After equipping Heroes, send them to Dungeons to gain resources and advance the story. Equipping the Townsfolk well means they will heal faster and have access to more Spells and Abilities. It's not just about earning Coin, the better you equip clients, the better it is for everyone in Ironwell.




Grow the town of Ironwell:
As you and your fellow Townsfolk grow richer, you can help to build new buildings and upgrades. Go from a small run down village to a large town complete with roads, shops, church, fleurist and of course a Wizard Tower. And more to come with updates!



Be a part of the community:
Each Townsfolk and Hero in Ironwell is unique, with their own story and gameplay advantages. As you equip them, gain rapport and fulfill various objectives, you will advance their story and gain new tools to help improve Ironwell and yourself as the Blacksmith.




Master the Elements and bend them to your will:
Imbue your steel with the Feather of a Phoenix or the Bones of your Ancestors. Enchant Weapons with Fire, Ice or Lightning to Burn Cloth or Zap Plate. Learn new Spells, Abilities and Recipes to become the best Blacksmith the world has ever known.




Find your true calling as the Blacksmith:
There are many ways to play Blacksmith. Will you sit back, relax, and let the Clients come to you? Or will you ravenously devour the secrets of Ironwell, not wasting a day? Forge your own story!
