Run your own fantasy forge. Hammer out weapons, sell them to adventurers who line up outside your shop, and reinvest the gold into a bigger, faster smithy. THE FORGE LOOP - Forge a weapon, watch the progress bar fill, sell it the moment it is done. - Buy upgrades for your anvil, hammer, furnace, bellows and shop to forge faster and sell for more. - Unlock 20 weapons, from a humble Wooden Sword up through late-game masterwork blades, each with its own price and forge time. - Hit 5 forge milestones as your weapon collection grows, each one a permanent boost to your income. KEEP EARNING WHILE YOU'RE AWAY - Your forge keeps working even when the app is closed. Come back to a "While you were away" summary and collect the gold you earned, capped at 8 hours. - Want more? Watch a short rewarded video to double that offline haul. Entirely optional, never required. ADS THAT ASK, NEVER INTERRUPT - No banner ads. No forced interstitials between screens. - Every ad in Pocket Forge is a rewarded video you choose to watch, for a bonus like a 2x offline haul, a temporary production boost, or a mystery merchant chest. Skip them and you still progress, just a little slower. PREMIUM FORGE (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) - Prefer to play without watching any videos? Premium Forge gives you every ad reward instantly and permanently: 2x offline earnings, production boosts and mystery chests, plus a royal forge scene. One purchase, no ads to sit through. NO ACCOUNT, NO NOISE - No login, no game server, no multiplayer, no chat. Your save lives on your device. - Simple haptics, sound effects and forge animations that stay out of the way of the tap-forge-sell loop. Pocket Forge: Dungeon Smith is built by a solo developer (iCyan Studio). Questions or feedback: icyanstudio2025@gmail.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GO Raids at none against Pocket Forge's 1. GO Raids also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
