About Bladesmith Shop Simulator

"Bladesmith Shop Simulator" is a first-person bladesmithing simulation and shop-management game. Travel to White Sand Bay in another world as a bladesmith apprentice, inherit the shop your grandfather left behind, and begin by forging weapons. Turn the once run-down little shop into a legendary smithy worthy of a master bladesmith's name.

Toss magical materials from another world into a roaring forge: Lightning Aluminum, Flame Steel, Meteoric Iron, Paradox Titanium… Put 40+ wondrous effects to the test with fire and hammer. Every precise, powerful strike awakens and builds the magic within, transforming rough, stubborn ore into a sword blank brimming with potential.

At the grinding stage, make the most of each abrasive belt’s unique properties to strengthen your blade and improve its quality. Then choose the perfect hilt from a range of distinctive styles to give your weapon its own identity. Craft a masterpiece that pairs formidable power with elegant design.

Unlock 40+ weapon blueprints, from daggers, sabers, longswords to greatswords. They’re all yours to forge! Once you’ve worked out efficient production recipes, let your employees lend a hand. Keep high-quality weapons rolling off the production line and fill your sword racks with neatly arranged blades.

Make the shop your own with 70+ pieces of furniture and decorations. Sword racks, display tables, hanging racks, display stands, slanted tables, armor, testing stands… Arrange everything to suit your taste and create a one-of-a-kind swordsmith’s shop full of personality.

Open your doors and welcome a steady stream of customers! Display your carefully forged blades, set fair prices, and keep an eye on what your customers want so you can adjust your sales strategy. Build your reputation and fortune one sale at a time, turning a humble little shop into a renowned smithy that customers can’t stop praising.

Meet the town’s colorful locals and listen to their troubles and dreams. One needs only a dazzling shortsword to make history at the Flying Sword Championship. Another has lost heart after setback upon setback, but a simple wooden sword might help him find his confidence again… Take on forging commissions with stories behind them, and discover the unexpected rewards that await.

Explore a vast otherworld and plan your next move on the world map. Build mines to gather precious ore, visit towns and open local branches, or even transform wonders to harness the mysterious powers within… Send your blades to distant lands and make your name as a swordsmithing tycoon known across the continent.

Legendary treasures lie hidden in dangerous dungeons. Hire brave adventurers, equip them with weapons you forged yourself, and send them on thrilling raids to search, fight, and extract! Carve through hordes of monsters, plunder treasure chests scattered all around, and escape before things spiral out of control. Bring a haul of hard-won loot back to your shop.

Step into the spotlight at the forging competition and show off your craftsmanship with creations that meet the judges’ brief. Rise above rival smiths on a fiercely competitive stage with a blade of unrivaled sharpness. Claim the top spot and earn your crown as a master swordsmith.
