About Smithworks

✦ AI summary

Smithworks puts you in a bustling blacksmith's guild where you and up to three friends must work together in real-time to fulfill customer orders while managing the chaos of competing demands and tight deadlines. Success hinges on communication and creative teamwork as you decide which orders to prioritize and how to divide labor, with every strategy valid as long as the finished product looks good enough to pass inspection.

You play as a new member in the Smithworks Guild named Smitta. She has always dreamed of becoming like the legendary smiths of the past. Their legacy and contributions led to their peaceful present time. However, it would seem that the guild was not as she had hoped for with it's questionable business practices and treatment of customers. Same-day blacksmithing? You have to be joking. Surely, it will get better right? Hop on with your fellow blacksmiths and friends and get through these blacksmithing contracts together.

Smithworks is a team-based game that focused heavily on communication to succeed. How players decide to work together is up to them and every strategy is valid. Of course, you don't need to be perfect to succeed. In the words of the guild: "If it looks right, then the customer won't notice". Work in real time against the clock, to handle the heat of the customers coming in. Choose what orders to prioritize and how to do them to keep the guild and the customers happy.

Features:
Up to 4 player co-op
Steam Achievements
Voice Chat
Procedurally Generated Orders
Altered Levels for 1, 2, 3-4 player lobbies

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Smithworks is a chaotic couch co-op game that players enjoy most when playing with friends, offering simple fun and relaxation, though solo play is generally considered not worthwhile. Common complaints include sprint-hop exploits that trivialize difficulty, performance or bug issues for some players, and comparisons to other blacksmith games that leave solo players wanting. Players who value multiplayer chaos recommend it, but those seeking solo content or a more polished experience may want to pass.
