Anvil Glow
Idle forge and blade
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Strike the iron, hire apprentices and heat a cold workshop into a starsteel crucible. Then step into the castle hall and parry a rain of falling swords.
An idle blacksmith game where every tap on the anvil hammers ore into coin, upgrades keep the fire working while you rest, and a castle trial tests your reflexes.
Start with a cold forge and a single hammer. Strike, spend and watch the fire climb from cold iron to starsteel.
Strike and upgrade
• Tap the anvil: every strike forges coin that you spend inside the game.
• Six upgrades: Heavier Hammer, Apprentice, Stoked Bellows, Guild Charter, Forge Array and Starsteel Core.
• Hammers strengthen each tap, apprentices work on their own and the Guild Charter multiplies everything you make.
• Five heat tiers: Cold Forge, Warm Coals, Glowing Pit, Blazing Hearth and Starsteel Crucible.
Keep the fire burning
• Progress while away: your apprentices carry on while the game is closed, capped at eight hours.
• Relight the crucible: reset your coin and upgrades in exchange for a permanent multiplier that stacks.
• Forge Ledger: heat tier, multiplier, lifetime coin forged, total strikes, upgrades owned and more.
Trial of Blades
• Drag to slide the anvil across the castle hall.
• Catch falling blades on the anvil to parry them, and chain parries for a combo.
• A blade past the line costs a guard. Lose three and the trial ends.
• The waves keep coming, and what you gather in each trial is added to your forge.
Good to know
• A clean, light design with warm ember colours.
• A short guide explains every system in plain words.
• Plays fully offline, with no account, no adverts and no in-app purchases.
• Coin is an in-game item only and cannot be bought or exchanged.
