Scam - No DLC

This game has barebones mechanics. Microtransactions in app. The basic loop is just mining ore, turning it to bars, and using the anvil. The DLC can be paid for but it doesn’t give you anything.

It could actually be a decent game if the devs would finish it to what the game description indicates. It is about 1-10th done by the looks of it. Has been this way for several months based on other reviews.

I had high hopes.

5/6/26 Still doesn't work on iPad. If I'm missing something I would be grateful to know what that is.
11/2/25 I was happy to see an update. However, it didn't solve my problem.
Unfortunately, I can't even get 5 minutes into playing before it is unplayable. The words at the bottom cover things I guess I need, they won't go away no matter what I do. I have gotten as far as it asking me to buy more ore, but I can't get to the button to do that because there are words over it. I think.. Not sure because I can't see what's under the words. I'm on an iPad. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, didn't help. I'll check back in case there is an update, but for now there's not much I can do.

Forge crafting

I enjoyed the forge crafting. Simple and easy to play game!

Fun game

I’m really enjoying this game i really like strategy games and this one hit the spot for 100% recommended.

Great game

Hammer & Steel pulls you in fast you start with a tiny forge, and before you know it, you’re running a full-blown medieval empire that actually feels earned. The mix of hands-on crafting, smart upgrades, and idle progression makes every new sword, room, and worker feel like a real step forward. If you love building something from nothing and watching your world expand piece by piece, this game hits the spot.
