Jacksmith: Weapons and Warriors

Jacksmith: Weapons and Warriors
  • Price on Steam (US) $5.99
  • Players Single-player
  • Platforms PC
  • Released
  • Steam Deck Playable
  • Steam reviews Overwhelmingly Positive, 97%

Who it's for Anyone who wants a quick, hands-on forge that's easy to learn.

In Jacksmith: Weapons and Warriors you're a donkey blacksmith on the road to a showdown with an evil wizard named Dudley. Every weapon is made by hand: pick an ore and a mold, melt and pour the metal, hone it, then attach the parts.

Then you hand the weapon to a warrior and follow them into battle, grabbing loot and helping out with a cannon. The loot pays for better ores and parts, and each warrior is best with certain weapon types, so you craft for the person in front of you. It's bright, 2D and easy to pick up, and it's a good first blacksmith game.

Bladesong

Bladesong
  • Price on Steam (US) $19.99
  • Players Single-player
  • Platforms PC
  • Released January 2026, in Early Access
  • Steam Deck Playable
  • Steam reviews Overwhelmingly Positive, 95%

Who it's for Players who want to design every curve of a sword.

Bladesong is about making swords, and it takes that very seriously. You shape the blade freely, build the hilt from modular parts and choose materials like metal, leather, wood, obsidian and ivory. Customers ask for precision, balance and beauty, and it's on you to deliver all three.

The campaign is built around its story. You're the new swordsmith of Eren Keep, one of the last safe places in a ruined world, ruled by the Masked King, and the smith before you has disappeared. Who you make blades for matters: factions like the scavenging Crows and the scholars of the Magisterium each want something from you, and rebellion is stirring in the keep. It entered Early Access in January 2026 and it's single-player.

  • Price on Steam (US) $11.99

  • Steam reviews Mostly Positive, 76%

Who it's for Players who like a forge that slowly turns into a business.

Medieval Crafter: Blacksmith makes you a dwarven smith with big plans. You mine ore deep under the mountain, smelt it, and time your hammer strikes to forge weapons and armor. Later an elf named Elara teaches you enchanting, which adds magic and elemental effects to your gear.

The business side grows quickly. You hire goblin workers to mine, smelt and run stations while you do the fine work, then equip heroes from the tavern and send them into dungeons and the arena for loot and gold. It left Early Access with version 1.0 on April 22, 2026.

  • Steam Deck Playable
  • Steam reviews Very Positive, 84%

Who it's for Management fans who want to run the whole production chain.

Blacksmith Master is more management game than hands-on forge. You run a workshop in a small medieval town and control the whole chain, from woodcutter camps and mines to smelting, crafting and selling. You hire staff for each step, give them the right tools and train them over time.

Then you lay out the shop so work flows well, take orders from across the kingdom to unlock new options, and keep an eye on what customers want. You don't only make weapons and armor, but also tools, jewelry and cooking gear. It has been in Early Access since May 2025, and version 1.0 is due on November 19, 2026.

While the Iron's Hot
  • Price on Steam (US) $19.99
  • Players Single-player
  • Platforms PC
  • Released
  • Steam Deck Verified
  • Steam reviews Very Positive, 80%

Who it's for People who want a calm adventure with smithing at its heart.

While the Iron's Hot is a pixel art adventure where smithing is how you solve problems. You play a journeyman blacksmith in the land of Ellian, and you smelt ore, shape parts, grind them and put them together into tools and new items.

Those items open the way forward. You repair machines, get past puzzles and win over the island's other artisans, while slowly rebuilding an old village of blacksmiths. It's more of an adventure than a shop sim, so pick it if the crafting matters more to you than the selling.

  • Steam Deck Unknown (not tested yet)
  • Steam reviews Very Positive, 98%

Who it's for Shop sim fans who want crafting minigames and a little goblin rudeness.

Craft. Sell. Goblin. Repeat. makes you a goblin who opens a weapon shop. You design the shop tile by tile, and every weapon and building comes out of a small crafting minigame. Each weapon gets a random rarity, and you can ask more gold for the rarer ones.

Selling is a haggle: push the price too far and the customer gets angry. Builders help in the workshop, explorers go on missions and bring back resources and recipes, and new tiers unlock as the shop grows. You can also insult customers, workers and even buildings. It's in Early Access.

  • Price on Steam (US) Free to play

  • Steam reviews Very Positive, 91%

Who it's for Friends who want an Overcooked style rush at the anvil.

Smithworks is a free co-op game where up to four players are new members of a blacksmith guild. Orders come in, the clock runs, and the team has to split the jobs and finish weapons before the customers get angry.

It's all about talking. Who heats, who hammers, who delivers? The guild's motto is roughly "if it looks right, the customer won't notice", and the game is played in that spirit. Orders are random, and levels change for one, two or three to four players, so it works at any group size.

Medieval Blacksmith

  • Steam reviews Mostly Positive, 79%

Who it's for Players who want first-person smithing with a story around it.

Medieval Blacksmith starts you in a ruined shop as a blacksmith with no past. You can design and forge seventeen types of weapons, from daggers to spears, and the ore, the wood and the center of gravity all change how a weapon cuts and handles.

Some customers only browse. Others bring a story and a specific request, like a weapon for a duel against a cavalryman, and the weapons you make decide how their stories end. Your choices also tie you into the town's politics. Steam's content note mentions prostitution, alcohol and drug use, violence and self-harm.

  • Steam reviews Mostly Positive, 78%

Who it's for Players who want to do every step by hand in first person.

Blacksmith. Song of two Kings is the most physical forge on this list. You grab the hammer and hit the metal yourself, saw wood by moving the handle back and forth, weave chainmail and work the tongs with levers.

Orders pay for a better house and forge, and more than 100 schemes cover weapons, armor and stranger items. Potions and spell books let you enchant what you make, and there's a story in a high fantasy world running alongside. There's also a free play forge mode outside the story.

Who it's for Cozy shop fans who want potions, a forge and pet slimes in one short game.

Dungeon Bodega Simulator gives you a retro fantasy shop on top of a dungeon. You grow crops, brew potions and forge weapons and tools to sell to adventurers, villagers and the things that live below.

Pet slimes from the dungeon turn your unused items into potions, and they are very hungry. The main story runs three to four hours over 24 in-game days, and an endless mode opens after it. It's Steam Deck Verified.

Who it's for Shop sim fans who like card games and a story with a cast.

Potionomics hands you your uncle's potion shop, along with a huge debt. Heroes gather the ingredients, you brew the potions, and you decorate the shop in ways that raise prices and quality.

Selling is a deck-building card game: every haggle is a small battle, and making friends with other vendors teaches you new tactics. Some of them can be romanced. It's Steam Deck Verified.

Who it's for Crafting shop fans who'd swap the anvil for a cauldron.

Potion Craft isn't about metal, but it is a crafting shop game through and through. You grind herbs and minerals with a mortar and pestle, heat the coals, stir the cauldron and steer a route across an alchemy map to hit the effect you want.

Then you sell what you made to the townsfolk who come to your door, and you can play a noble artisan or a greedy one. The art looks like an old medical manuscript, and the pace is relaxed. If you liked the shop half of a blacksmith game, this is a good switch.
