Deepest Sword vs SlashForge

Venture deep into the Cavern of Longing with your trusty yet unwieldy sword. Will your sword be long enough to pierce the dragon's heart? Or will your puny sword be nothing but a laughable object of ridicule in the dragon's eyes? FEATURES: You can't jump but you do have a sword, and you're not afraid to use it! Marvel at your sword's length. Though if it's too long, it might get in the way... Fulfill your deepest desires (like stabbing a dragon with your sword?) Originally created in 72 hours for the Ludum Dare 48 Jam with the theme, "deeper and deeper".

Emberbrand still remembers where the sparks went. SlashForge is a fast, dark, one-handed hack-and-slash action RPG built for portrait play. You are Rowan Vale, last apprentice of the Ashen Forge, carrying a living blade that can only be reforged by reclaiming seven dead forges from the Hollow Crown. Pick your weapon. Pick your difficulty. Read the telegraphs, dodge through the danger, and cut your way back to Emberhold stronger than you left. FEATURES - Five weapons, your choice from the start — buy and swap freely, each with a real role: the balanced Emberbrand sword, the wide-cleaving Cinder Axe, the lightning-fast crit jabs of the Oathknife, the long-range Tidebow, and the splashing First-Fire Staff. - Choose your difficulty — Easy, Standard, or Hard at the start, with extra Crown modifiers unlocked after the campaign for an even deeper challenge. - Seven acts, seven bosses — each with their own patterns, phases, and corrupted duty. - Dodge from the first fight — a dash with invulnerability frames, plus combos, potions, and biome hazards to play around. - Build your forge-knight — twelve relics and four upgrade branches (Weaponcraft, Armor, Footwork, Forgecraft) tune your run. - Role-based enemies — swarm, brute, shielded, ranged, caster, and elite, plus boss summons. Clear, deadly telegraphs reward reading the fight. - Rebuild Emberhold — every spark you recover reopens part of the ruined forge-village hub. - Fights with stakes — clear the road to keep your shards; a codex records the world you are saving. BUILT FOR YOUR PHONE - True one-handed portrait controls — move stick and action buttons within thumb's reach, plus a pause whenever life interrupts. - Short, sharp runs: a normal fight is a few minutes. Pick it up, clear a node, put it down. - Fully offline. No ads. No accounts. No tracking. The world is wounded, but recoverable. Reopen the forges. Reforge the blade. Push back the Crown.
