About the Game



In Just A Humble Swordsmith, you play as a smith who has set up shop next to the entrance to a cave full of dangerous monsters. Meet the brave (and reckless) adventurers that come in, craft them a variety of powerful and exciting swords, then send them on their way through the cave to clear out the danger. The adventurers fight completely automatically, so you can focus on finding your favorite strategies or just try to make the coolest sword you can.



  • Craft fantastical materials into a variety of sword styles for a huge number of possible combinations
  • Make use of the unique stats and talents of named adventurers to find the best strategy for each one
  • Watch as the adventurer fights through a diverse dungeon full of exciting new monsters and backdrops
  • Progress through challenging boss battles and collect new crafting options at each checkpoint
  • Enjoy colorful sprites and lively music with a retro 16-bit inspired aesthetic
