About the Game

Forge Squad is a cooperative crafting game for up to 4 players. In order to defeat the approaching waves of enemies, runes must be forged. The crafting consists of several steps, which can only be efficiently done together. Enemies can only be injured by towers charged with the right type of runes. But be careful, because the enemy also knows how to defend itself and advances with armored units, whose shield must be destroyed by the player himself.

Cooperative action

Face the challenges together with up to four players (local multiplayer or Remote Play Together). Good team play and coordination is crucial.

Varied environments

Play in a medieval castle, in ancient Egypt or high up on an icy mountain. A whole 5 different environments provide variety.

Customization

Choose one of four characters and customize the appearance.

Steam Remote Play Together

The game has been specially tested with Steam's "Play Remote Together" feature. Launch the game, invite your Steam friends and start playing.

Story

The mighty god of the underworld has sent his henchmen to conquer the kingdom of heaven. To prevent this, the gods created an intermediate world and created humankind. In gratitude, humans built towers to protect the entrances to the Celestial Kingdom. Powerful rune magic is needed for the towers to drive away evil. It is now the task of the blacksmiths to stop the threat.
