Forge or Break: Idle Sword RPG

Every strike is one of four: success, keep, drop or break. The odds are always on screen.

An idle RPG about upgrading a single sword, and the risk of losing it.

You start with one sword.

No levels, no skills. The only way to get stronger is enhancement. Strike with the hammer and one of four things happens: success, keep, drop or break. The odds are always on screen.

■ One sword, one life From +9 the sword can break. Break, and you drop to zone 1 bare-handed. But shards remain, and what you buy with shards is yours forever. The next sword goes a little further.

■ Stop, or one more? Retire a sword while it is whole and you lose it but gain shards. Past the +15 safe zone, +17, +22… every extra strike makes your heart race.

■ A hunting ground that fights for you A stronger sword opens higher zones. From Dokkaebi Pass to Jade Heaven, the monsters of Korean folklore are waiting. The hunt goes on while you are away, for up to 4 hours. Come back and spend the gold in one long run.

■ The world How many +20 swords exist right now, and what percentile you are in. When someone's +24 sword shatters, everyone hears. You can leave a line, and others answer with emoji. Rankings by best ever, current tier and swords broken.

■ Honest odds Every roll is made on the server. The odds you see are the odds you get.

Pick your feel: tap or hold. Link an account to keep the same sword when you change phones.
