## Description

**Blacksmith: Ancient Weapons** invites you to step into the shoes of a master blacksmith where creativity meets strategy. Merge various weapons to discover unique combinations—even quirky ones like turning two swords into a crossbow! Craft and collect over 80 fully-modeled weapons, each with distinct designs and powers.

Enhance your arsenal using magical runes that provide special bonuses like gold multiplication and item duplication. If progress slows, use the prestige system to restart with powerful boosts, making your smithing empire stronger than ever. With over 1,000,000 downloads, this incremental merge RPG keeps evolving thanks to active player feedback via Discord. Best of all, it’s 100% free to play with optional in-app purchases that never feel mandatory.

## Review summary

Overall, players enjoy the relaxing merging/crafting premise, good visuals, and addictive short-session gameplay. But repeated complaints about deceptive rewards, pay-to-win concerns, and progress problems overshadow the positives. The app can lose progress on device switches, doesn’t credit earned gems, and feels grindy with little meaningful progression. Some reviews note mislabeling (not a true blacksmith forging game) and inconsistent rewards. A minority cite no-forced-ads and fair monetization as a bright spot.

### Pros

- Relaxing and enjoyable for casual, short sessions.
- Cool visuals/designs with a satisfying weapon-crafting vibe.
- No forced ads and optional monetization are appreciated.
- Addictive gameplay and a competitive edge versus other Blacksmith-style games.

### Cons

- Perceived deceptive rewards and pay-to-win concerns (diamonds/gems promises not delivered).
- Loss of progress or inability to reset progress when switching devices.
- Gems/achievements sometimes not credited or awarded.
- Grindy progression with little meaningful rewards over time.
- Mislabeling of the game (not a true forging game).
