About this game
Welcome to your brand-new smithy! Don’t worry, you won’t have to swing a sword yourself—just hammer, haggle, and hire reckless mercenaries who’ll happily do the stabbing part for you.
The Loop (a.k.a. Your New Life):
Craft armor & weapons – Practice makes permanent: the more you make, the better the item becomes.
Sell or equip – Customers might want that shiny helmet, but your mercenary swears he “needs it more.”
Send mercs into the dungeon – They’ll fight, you’ll profit (hopefully).
Gather loot & ingredients – Then it’s back to the forge to repeat the cycle of capitalism and monster-bashing.
Hire mercenaries – Each with classes, skills, and questionable decision-making.
Features worth bragging about:
Evolving Crafting – Unlock permanent quality boosts by making the same items again and again.
Town Life – Wandering customers, visiting merchants, and bulk buyers spice up your day-to-day.
Upgrades Galore – Expand your shop, improve buildings, reduce costs, and line your pockets.
Town Prestige Levels – Gain new recipes, more inventory, and fancier mercs just by running your business.
Questing & Mega Questing – From simple errands to an overarching grand adventure.
Tactical Dungeons – Up to three mercs per lane, manual skills to keep things lively, and outcomes that range from “victorious” to “oops, all dead.”
Specializations & Strategy – Mix and match merc classes and playstyles to find your winning team.
It’s a world where smithing meets strategy, economics meets exploration, and your greatest enemy isn’t the dungeon boss—it’s deciding whether to sell that shiny breastplate or keep it for your favorite merc.

Hotfix 1.0.2 9/23/2025 Tips and Hotfixes
Some game tips that might not be so obvious: TIP: Right click items in crafting inventory to quickly add them to your primary inventory. TIP: Right click wandering customers to instantly open the building and recipe matching their needs. TIP: Shift + Right click an item in the primary inventory to sell it. TIP: You can use the abilities that pop up under the mercenaries in the dungeons. They're really strong for pushing. TIP: Right click on a mercenary in the mini town GUI to quick open the equipment of that mercenary. Updates / Bug Fixes : Right clicking an empty craft spot no longer throws error. If crafting over 50 of the same item in a purple state, it was causing an error. You can now right click the slot of a matching item and the sales box will switch without closing the window. The quest to see if you've hired the first Archer now correctly checks if you've previously purchased him or any other mercs besides the first. (They will count for the quest as well). . Fixed the Mage TimeWizard spec reducing the permanent spell cooldown instead of reducing the current timer. Increased the Mage TimeWizard specialty from .2 second cooldown reduction each hit to .5 second cooldown reduction each hit.Read full article on Community Announcements (Smash)Patch NotesOfficial
V 1.0.1 Hotfix 9/22/25. Turned off "hardcore" mode
Hotfix 9/22/25. Turned off "hardcore" mode I sincerely apologize the dungeons are currently just being 'hardcore' by default and not letting you exit. The patch will once again let you proceed in the dungeons as intended. You should now see the flag for death/victory/flee. Please let us know if you run into any other problems! I made a last minute change and turned something off by accident!!Read full article on Community Announcements (Smash)
