Smithy Wars

i've put around 2 hours into the game and here's what I think.
smithy wars feels like a idle game without the BS normally attached.
the only thing I can say about it is that you will spend alot of time experimenting with items and such to find what works best for you and there is little handholding within the crafting and spells

I am thoroughly impressed with this game. I hope it gets lots of support because I want to see more games like this in general, and more specifically from this Dev in the future.
Smithy Wars combines the best features of your favorite Free-to-Play browser game, without all the negative traits that usually go along with that
One of its best features is it's very well balanced for beginners. The "Enchantment" System for weapons and equipment allows new players to compete successfully with more experienced players, or even gain advantage over other beginners.
I can't find much to criticize about this game. There are always a few rough edges that could stand some polishing in any game, but the Dev Team is very active in taking suggestions and making improvements. The two new game modes recently added, more than double the replay value.
If you like auto/idle battlers, give Smithy Wars a try. I sincerely hope you like it, I want to see you Ladies & Gents on the leaderboard. I've put over 30hrs into this game so far, and I'm looking forward to some PvP competition. Keep an eye on my curator page for some helpful stats and game play tips.

I bought this game just to see what it was like. "Giving it a try" turned into "playing for 5.7 hours over a couple of days". When I first started playing the game, the enchanting and spellmaking systems made little sense. The same day I started playing it the dev happened to push an update that improved those systems greatly. The game now tells you what enchantments will do and what their requirements are (and if you might cursed from botching those requirements). The spellmaking has a grid and there was some text added to explain what exactly is going on there. I started playing a few days after the adventure mode and "overworld map" were added. It's clear that this dev has been listening to player feedback and improving the game. At its heart of hearts, Smithy Wars is a mobile game. Short gameplay loop, simple graphics, PvP, idle combat. The hallmarks. Yet, while I usually have less interest in mobile games than I do in my bank account (great joke, smart people only), there is something enjoyable about Smithy Wars. And that's considering that, unlike many mobile games, it cost me $9.54 with tax. It's like a mobile game, but better. Just watch the trailers, and if anything in there interests you, I recommend it.

Pretty good, needs a bit of qol here and there but pretty fun. Reviewing hoping to bring back some players as the multi-player seems cool and dev might take an interest in updating a few bugs out lol. Very much recommend especially with current sale. Very much the fun of a mobile game without microtransactions and gacha stuff.

Great gem of a game! While a little clunky at times, the core mechanics of the game are quite interesting. The main way to progress in game is to improve your items, which occurs via a crafting system different from any other I've seen so far. Definitely worth checking out if you are interested in crafting strong gear and seeing your team gradually get stronger. Also, it has a neat spell crafting interface allowing you to make your own spells with a ton of ways to modify them.
As it can be a bit tricky to get started in, here are few tips for the beginning of the game as well:
- When starting out usually best to start with melee build focusing on End/Agi/Str with one tank (mostly END) and two dps
- Do the puzzles on the overworld to get your starter gear. If you end up with a trap, just protect your tank with the movable platform since they will be taking up most of the enemy damage and lose the most HP by a 3% HP loss per hit.
- The level notifications in-game are "enemy" levels, not your characters' levels. The character levels are set when you first buy the heroes, although their stats can be trained.
- As such, there is no problem killing enemies until you die, go back a few levels, and then kill more enemies.
- The main way to get stronger in the game is by crafting gear, which will require crafting mats
- Fastest way to get crafting mats is to farm enemies around the level where you get a bonus chest. After getting bonus chest, die and then kill the three levels of enemies again to get another chest. Note that you do not get a chest at that level if you select the button to not advance to next enemy level.
- Follow the dev crafting guide to make some basic melee crafted gear for all slots for all characters.
- Once you have three sets of decently crafted gear, then start farming gems by farming enemies in the overworld.
- Then buy some high level mercenaries. May have to check multiple times in between farming gems before any good heroes appear.
- Don't worry about spending gems on building your fortress yet as there are hardly any players in game at this time
- Once you have at least one team full of high level strong heroes and you start getting extra gems, then can build up a basic fortress if you really want. Otherwise, can spend gems on more chests and crafting materials. Can earn passive gems from housing/barracks as well.

Didn't want to keep wrecking my favorite item according to the heavy-handed crafting tutorial, and in doing so broke the tutorial. Now I'm not allowed to really craft because I didn't put all three earth stones on the same item to complete the tutorial. I can't find any more earth stones either, besides the 3 that the game started me off with having.
...assuming you don't break the game, though, it seems like it could be engaging.
