As surprising as it might be, there aren't many games out there that focus primarily on blacksmithing. There are thousands of simulation, RPG, and action-adventure titles that have an NPC blacksmith or some crafting minigame related to the job. But if you're interested in truly immersing yourself in the role, here are the best blacksmith games available.
8 Fantasy Blacksmith
Fantasy Blacksmith combines the most engaging aspects of crafting and dice-rolling. It is a highly in-depth game with millions upon millions of different combinations of weaponry you can craft. Create the most unique and enchanted items so that you can sell them for cash. Then you can upgrade your smithy to produce legendary items.
You can customize your weaponry from the cross-guard to the handle. Create an impressive line-up of weapons that you can show off in your store to prove you're the best blacksmith in the town.
7 My Little Blacksmith Shop
As the title implies, My Little Blacksmith Shop is a fun little game that has you managing your very own smithy, store, and forge. The visuals are simple, but the gameplay makes up for that with its dedication to various techniques, immersive physics, and a vibrant town of fellow villagers to meet.
The core of the game has you crafting over 100 different items, primarily weapons and armor. You can also trigger sidequests from villagers that will have you looking for mysteries, solving puzzles, and obtaining rare crafting materials to make the most legendary swords and helmets.
6 Enchanted Blacksmith
Though blacksmithing isn't usually associated with magic and enchantments, Enchanted Blacksmith combines the manual labor of forging with the high fantasy concept of jewels and alloys with special properties. When it comes to acquiring materials, you can purchase them from local shops or forage for them in the forests and mines surrounding you.
Enchanted Blacksmith is still receiving updates that include a horse cart, new achievements, rebalanced crafting, and UI improvements. It's a surprisingly deep game that also offers a cozy atmosphere.
5 Blacksmith
Appropriately named, Blacksmith is a 2D casual simulation game with farming and RPG elements. You take the role of an elder blacksmith who has decided to help take charge of his town by improving the productivity of his fellow villagers, especially the would-be swordsmen and soldiers.

With a unique hand-drawn art style, Blacksmith has a very nostalgic feel as it mimics the aesthetics of children's books based on medieval times. Though your town starts out very small, it can grow to a massive size once you've sent enough people on quests with the tools you provided for them.
4 Blacksmith: Song Of Two Kings
Though you might not associate blacksmithing with atmosphere, Song of Two Kings will try to convince you otherwise. This is a narrative-driven sandbox game that has your blacksmith character interacting with a diverse range of locals with their own unique stories and problems they'd like you to help solve.
You will not only be crafting chain mail, weapons, and unique cultural artifacts, but you can also upgrade your forge and dwelling as well. Song of Two Kings provides interesting and unique crafting gameplay with a real sense of progress and accomplishment with every item you make.
3 Blightlands Blacksmith
If the coziness of the previous blacksmith games isn't what you're into, Blightlands Blacksmith might have the in-depth mechanics and stressful gameplay you're looking for. In a sense, this makes Blightlands more realistic and immersive, as no one really thinks of working in a forge or smithy as a relaxing day job.

There are fantasy elements, such as rune infusions, but Blightlands is all about attention to detail. You have to examine the quality of every item you make to make sure it is up to par, just as a real blacksmith would. You can also use your own weapons in combat as you explore mines for more resources and crafting materials, creating an interesting and highly satisfying gameplay loop.
2 Blacksmith Master
Blacksmith Master is one of the more unique blacksmithing games available as it is, at its core, a colony sim game. Instead of controlling one single blacksmith, you are strategically managing several blacksmiths by sending them out for resources to improve both your forges and your inventory.
This is a game all about resource management and time management. You'll be fulfilling orders for regular civilians and military personnel and buying new tools that will allow you to forge new items. If you like a game with good replay value, this one's the ticket.
1 Medieval Blacksmith
Medieval Blacksmith is a sandbox RPG that goes out of its way to feel much more than just a glorified minigame. There is an entire world to explore that is loaded with many interactive NPCs and loads of dialogue. What makes Medieval Blacksmith truly special is not its dedication to medieval times but the freedom it gives you when making weapons. You can design the look of every single blade down to the inch by selecting from several different edges, shapes, guards, and blades. You can craft anything from small stiletto daggers to two-handed poles and halberds.
