Sword & Shield Simulator Early Access REALEASE!

Hello, blacksmiths!

Sword & Shield Simulator is out!

Danburg has definitely seen better days. The battlefields are basically a lost-and-found for swords, armor, and the occasional mysterious story. Still, there's hope for a comeback (with a little help from your forge). You're technically 'just' a blacksmith, but let's be honest, you're about to become the most important person in town.

You'll be poking around old battlefields, hauling back whatever weapons and armor you can carry, and then doing your best not to accidentally melt anything important in the forge. Cut, melt, repair, sharpen repeat until your gear is good enough to keep your friends alive.

What awaits you?

  • Search the Battlefields ⚔️
    Explore war zones, collect abandoned weapons, and decide what treasures are worth bringing back.

  • Master the Forge 🔥
    Use your workshop tools to restore, improve, and create powerful equipment.

  • Discover Danburg 🏰
    Travel across the kingdom, meet its people, uncover secrets, and learn the stories hidden behind the war.

  • Take on Extra Challenges 🎯
    Complete additional quests, solve puzzles, and expand your skills through unique activities.

Show us what you make!
Screenshots, favorite weapons, weirdest repairs, accidental disasters; we want to see it all.
Your feedback is basically our patch notes, so keep it coming.

Thanks for jumping in and helping us hammer this thing into shape. Grab your hammer.
The forge is waiting ⚒️

⚔️ A little gift for our blacksmith friends! ⚔️

As a thank you for being part of our forging community, we've prepared special bundle discounts for players who already own some of our other games. Step back into your workshop, gather your tools, and enjoy an extra little treat as you begin your journey in Danburg!

Quick reminder: Sword & Shield Simulator is launching in Early Access, which is dev-speak for 'still a work in progress.' Your adventures (and bug reports) will help decide where we go from here.

We're counting on your feedback, suggestions, and the occasional 'why is this on fire?' message to help us make the game better. Seriously, every comment helps shape what comes next.
