About the Game

In Blacksmith Tales, step into an enchanting, anime-inspired universe where your hammer and anvil decide the fate of countless warriors. Gather materials, refine your forging techniques, and cater to a diverse roster of heroes seeking your craftsmanship.

Immerse yourself in chance encounters with mystical creatures that may aid - or distract - you from your goals. As your blacksmithing skills evolve, so does your influence on the world. From forging flawless blades to dealing with the consequences of flawed steel, every decision contributes to each warrior’s triumph or defeat.

Claim your spot among the realm’s most excellent craftsmen and become the legend every adventurer relies on.

Key Features:

  • Deep Crafting System: Smelt, process, and assemble parts.

  • Hands-on Mini-games: Take matters into your own hands while forging blades or hammering studs.

  • Strategic Decisions: Analyse the client's enemy and advise them on better solutions, even if they aren't right about the parts they want.

  • Rich Arsenal: Create a variety of weapons like the Kanabo, Tetsubo, Ninjato, and Masakiri.

  • Workshop Expansion: Acquire new part moulds from the merchant and trade for materials.

  • Planned Features (WIP/Future): Expansion to include milling, sawing, riveting, engraving, and even painting.

Expand your arsenal and capabilities by acquiring moulds for new weapon parts. You can get them from the local merchant – don't confuse him with the peddler! Trade materials, improve your creations, and become the blacksmith legends are made of.

The game draws inspiration from the classic Flash game "Jacksmith" and expands on its mechanics in full 3D.
