Publisher Polden Publishing and developer CozyPlay announced that a free demo for 'Fantasy Blacksmith Simulator' was released on Steam on October 14 at midnight KST.
'Fantasy Blacksmith Simulator' is a simulation game about restoring an abandoned forge and growing into the town's master blacksmith. Players reignite the cooled furnace, gather materials to craft weapons and jewelry, and manage their own shop.
In this demo, players can experience the game's first chapter solo or in co-op with friends. Starting as a novice blacksmith, players can level up to Level 4 to unlock new skills and perform tasks necessary for crafting, such as mining ore, logging, and hauling materials.
Swords, shields, bows, necklaces, and more are crafted through interactive minigames. Players can hire forge assistants to help with tasks or bring in a bard to change the workshop's atmosphere. Finished items are displayed in the shop and sold to townsfolk visiting for new equipment.
In the full version, players will supply equipment to the kingdom's heroes as they expand their forge. They can craft and enchant swords and armor, and explore the Forgotten Mines and Magic Glade to gather precious metals, gems, and rare magical timber. The game also features a progression tree to unlock new workbenches and enchanting tables.
Online co-op supports up to four players. Teammates can divide roles to manage the forge, with one handling the bellows and ore smelting while another enchants the completed gear.
'Fantasy Blacksmith Simulator' was officially announced last July alongside a public Steam playtest. The full version is targeted for a PC release on Steam in 2026, and the demo is currently available for free download on Steam.
