Blacksmith Reforged VR

Your smithy is small, your purse is light and the village needs a blacksmith. Light the forge, take up your hammer and make a name for yourself, one blade at a time.

Every step is in your hands. Hold the iron in the fire with your tongs and work the bellows. Read the heat from the glow of the metal, hammer it into shape on the anvil, quench it in the barrel and put an edge on it at the grindstone. Strike cold metal and it cracks; leave steel in the fire too long and it burns.

Villagers come for knives and tools, hunters and guards for axes and spears. As your reputation grows, mercenaries, knights and lords come to your door for swords, chainmail and plate armor.

Buy iron, steel, charcoal, leather and wood from travelling traders and keep an eye on prices. Invest in better tools, learn new techniques and hire an apprentice, a journeyman and a shopkeeper to grow your business.

Work by day and sleep by night to close the day's ledger. Work through the night if you must, but a tired smith makes mistakes. And expect the unexpected: news of war, an urgent order from the lord, a thief in the night or the tax collector at the door.
