At launch, BlackForge: A Smithing Adventure will include: ⚒️ A Full Smithing Campaign & Story: Take on increasingly demanding challenges in a story driven adventure in which your blades and equipment become essential tools for others to wield in the fight against a mysterious evil. ⚒️ A Forge Full Of Fun: Heat metal in your forge and bash it into fighting form before it cools, or sculpt and shape wood to make versatile tools. And don’t forget to feed and pet your trusty forge spirit, who rests as the heart of the flames. ⚒️ Test Your Weapons: A combat dummy sits idly outside, allowing you to give your creations a test run.
