However the majority of the time when you “win” a gem, your gem count doesn’t actually increase. ### 3/5 — Mid *2025-12-25, version 2.1.21* This game is to all levels as a respectable amount of treasure and a ancient for the upon greatness to this magnificent game I say to all peers and all which decide that today for a day that they get such beautiful magnificence towards such incrediblecy I say I say to all among this is one that you have to experience if not, if not, you are alone the one which lives towards a dome please please please please I say I say this is a greatness that none can compare I say, in the name of all which greatness this game is mid ### 3/5 — No BTC *2025-12-13, version 2.1.21* No BTC, but still kinda fun… ### 4/5 — This game is amazing!!! *2025-06-19, version 2.1.21* When is Blacksmith 2 coming out???!!! I love this game but I’m already burned out on it. And maxed everything out pretty much. The achievements are not that reasonable for rewards when you are in late game of it all. ### 4/5 — Okay, it’s time for yall to update this. *2025-05-28, version 2.1.21* It’s been 3 years and no update? Thats sad. Theres lots of things you could do to improve it. Add new features, higher level than 81 weapons, make the ‘spawn faster’ button less easy to accidentally click room button all the time, add new achievements. Just bug fixes at least!? Come on! Pleeeeeeeease! ### 2/5 — Ad Freezes and Data Loss *2025-04-16, version 2.1.21* Any time a reward offers a “Supercharge”, such as with boosts and the gifts, the ad freezes at the end and you never get the reward. Makes it a bit troublesome. I also opened the app recently and saw that my data had been lost and I was earlier in the game than I was before. I was past the Harbinger bow and Cudgel. ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-03-20, version 2.1.21* I like how this is a straightforward merge game instead of a super complicated and confusing thing that’s hard to play. ### 3/5 — Overall good game, but issue with ads *2025-01-08, version 2.1.21* Good game, but whenever there’s an ad, it freezes and I have to get out and restart the app. I can’t ever get any of the ad rewards for this reason. ### 3/5 — Fun if you like watching tons of ads *2024-11-28* There aren’t any ads in the actual gameplay but you have to watch them to make any sort of noticeable progress towards upgrades. One time it crashed randomly (iPhone 15 pro max, so it’s not my phone) and I lost like 30 mins worth of progress and the stuff I got from the ads I watched. The upgrade all button at the bottom needs to go, I clicked that accidentally and lost a LOT of coins upgrading the wrong world thing. I do like the simplicity of it and play it a lot but I do feel like I’m mostly watching ads… Edit: I’ve paid for the offline collection time 4 times and the past couple days it’s barely giving me any gold when I log in. I was getting an okay amount but now it’s not giving it to me!? Also still haven’t figured out how I’m supposed to even get enough gold to unlock the last room thing. I’ve upgraded everything with the gems and it’s not even helping. I’ve spent thousands and thousands of them and I’m still not progressing. ## Frequently asked questions about Blacksmith ### What is Blacksmith - Merge Idle RPG?
