Cozy Forge: Blacksmith Simulator

This game have potiential to be like Potion Craft, but instead is just .... lazy Its way too slow, with very little activity, like 2 minigames and it really not grab my interest. Also no explanation on what to do (beside 3 very blurry pics). Is cute, but the cutiness lasted for the first 5 minutes. Im disappointed because again, the idea is solid, the style id cute and this genre needs more game like this, but not this sorry. Also the money system, is just lazy, just bet 25 on the darts, won everytime cause is a extremely easy click minigame, I buy everything in the shop in day 1, did the king quest and thats all..... really? I will ask for a refound. Maybe if one day I see this game get an update, I will give this studio another chance.

A number of bugs, but still definitely worth the $3 price tag in my opinion. Nothing was game-breaking and the gameplay loop was relaxing and lowkey. Visual bugs in terms of some items appearing cracked/broken when they aren't actually (this occurs when putting the handles on / polishing the metal), occasionally the polishing minigame glitches and the item is immediately polished. One request was broken for me - for an arrow with the white feathers attached, so I skipped that item every time (assuming that item was bugged).

Good concept but incredibly buggy. Duplicate items placed anywhere disappear without duplicate items produced (ie, iron into pot, finished items to customers) and some items just disappear off the table (ie, mold pours). Perfect items will show cracks upon polishing that disappear when in inventory. Items will jump to inventory without the polishing process as soon as the rag touches it. Hit box for hammer strikes are also widely varied, sometimes only the center of the target and sometimes as far out as the tip of the star point. There's no noticeable time allowance for hits on larger items, so the success rate goes down. These make the game needlessly challenging. The instructions could be clearer on what to click and drag or long press as well. The music, simple art style, and lack of time constraints allow for relaxing gameplay, just frustrating with all the bugs.

This game has potential but it is really just boring. I feel like the developers knew the right mechanics but not how to make a cozy simple game actually fun.

Really boring and horribly buggy. Cant give stuff to the king. Doesnt register clicks while forging that causes the item to "Break". But also checking the first window after forging somehow changes the item to broken even tough it didnt change anything inbetween. Its that it has a few achievement otherwise i wouldve stopt playing it almost right away. Too bad i cant refund anymore because i waited too long to play it.

So boring and buggy I gave up after 15 minutes. To be fair though, for 1.49 € on sale it's not too terrible. People with more patience than me might easily get their money's worth.
