Sword & Shield Simulator

Sword & Shield Simulator puts you in charge of a forge in a medieval world. You smelt ore, shape and finish metalwork, take customer contracts and trade goods to build your smithing business. Your craftsmanship affects what your work earns and the opportunities available to you.

Work the forge

The blacksmithing process uses several stations. You load ore into the furnace to smelt it, hammer glowing steel at the anvil, sharpen blades on the grinding wheel and use a chisel for detailed work. Each step affects the finished piece, and rushing can show in the result.

The sword designer lets you combine interchangeable blades, guards, handles and pommels. You can also assemble shields from their boards to the boss, and use a small furnace to make horseshoes, scythes, tools and other everyday goods.

Run your business

You take contracts from the blacksmith’s customers, deliver the requested quality and trade goods with merchants around the city. To source materials, you mine rock for ore, hunt game, chop trees and haul your supplies back in a cart. Your skills grow with every hammer swing, and better craftsmanship brings better prices and larger opportunities.

Explore the world

Outside the smithy, you can take on story missions across three regions, complete side quests and find collectibles. The world also has lockpicking, fast-travel shrines and a cups game on the main road; careless lockpicking can lead to prison.
