Battlesmiths: Crafting RPG 12+

Good game. Maybe some suggestions.

Overall, the game is pretty good. Waiting timers are not too crazy and leveling up masters and troops is pretty easy. Levels are only challenging if you don’t set up a proper counter, however, they do get difficult if you lag behind on troop levels and gear. If I were to suggest something, maybe a guild system and possibly wars between guilds for both gaining/receiving help on things and rewards for wars.

Very innovative, but also timer dependent 😅

The timers for crafting and buildings may not be for everyone, also taking back the town initially can take a while, as can unlocking the equipment merge system. I do love the arena and the rewards you get from it, you should be able to find a league that fits you, but will doubtlessly notice times like unlocking a 4th hero in your active formation that you will hit a wall until you also unlock it with barracks upgrades.

a complaint I have would be not noticing ways to get some free gems over time, perhaps arena season rewards? You will get some in the mail from completing campaign or other progression. Or maybe the devs could add a small amount of gems from watching optional advertisements?

Gems are mainly for cosmetics or upgrading rarity of gear instantly and not for anything necessary. You can also buy permanent crafting slots, the first costs 500 gems, the second 2,000

Tip: once you get the town hall feel free to move workers around to focus on whatever your current projects or needs are.

Very neat how it combines crafting/selling and developing heroes and building your town. The stamina isn’t very limiting as you upgrade your farm, you will be able to do plenty of stages hourly, though the battle tower does get costly but still small compared to how much stamina you can hold at a time or collect overnight.

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for your positive review! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the arena and the rewards it offers (we've also made it even more profitable with the latest update 1.5.3). In regards to free rubies, we've added an experimental feature where you can get some rubies for free for watching an ad and we're looking into its performance and may introduce some more ways to earn rubies in future. We appreciate your feedback and we'll definitely take it into consideration for future updates. Thank you once again for your support and happy gaming!

My new favorite game!

Yes, this game is new and in soft launch but I’m having fun with it. The development team is great and responsive. There are many features to come but even with what’s there Ivam able to spend multiple hours building and growing and haven’t needed to empty my bank account to do it. So far I have only spent $20 and that was just to support the game, I haven’t needed to use the in game currency yet and I’m sure I have logged at least 100 hours. Try this game, it’s a refreshing change from what’s out there!
