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.

Perfect forge idle tycoon

The game mixes two of my favorite themes : idle and forge. Intuitive and fun it is a perfect pass time!

Fun, cool art style

Good progression style, cool idea, and nice to look at.

Really disappointed.

I wish I knew the state of this game before I spent money on it. I’m more peeved that the game looks fun. I saw their “gameplay” on YouTube and it looks much more flushed out. 30 minutes into the game and not even a night/day cycle. Plus if you get no ads you have to watch ads to get full food and rest, and you can’t stock pile on food either. If you have 3 food, all the food get consumed. Furniture doesn’t save either. There’s so much wrong with this game. I hope it gets fixed, I really wanted to play it.

Very addicting game

Love the crafting/rooms continuation , actually will keep playing this game, glad I found it. Thank you.

Fun little game

Not much more to it than what it says, but it’s good to kill a few minutes and the gameplay is interesting enough. I like it.

Best app

Hammer & Steel Idle Business offers a simple, engaging idle management experience where players grow a construction-themed company. You buy equipment, upgrade machinery, and expand production to earn passive income. The graphics are clean, and the progression feels satisfying. However, the gameplay can become repetitive, and frequent ads may interrupt the flow for free users.
