Pirozhok Studio has announced a pre-release demo of its historically accurate blacksmith simulator, Anvil Saga, ahead of the game’s Early Access release. The brand new demo has been created just for the Guerilla Collective 3 event, meaning it is free to try on Steam as of right now.
In the demo, you will find a revamped tutorial, a prologue level, and the first 11 days of the story campaign. This will allow you to learn about the ruler of the province, the eccentric baron and Jean-Jacques Jr, your rival who aspires to win the hand of the baron’s fair daughter.
Watch the trailer below:
Set during the Hundred Years’ War, Anvil Saga is a management sim with RPG elements where you take control of a blacksmith. Your goal is to turn a ramshackle store into a successful enterprise in a challenging world where all of your decisions impact the story and gameplay. You’ll need to deal with all manner of customers, from French and English soldiers to local bandits, manage workers, improve your establishment and tools, decorate the smithy, and more.
Players will have to choose their side, whether they decide to help the English or the French armies or betray them both to work as bandits. You will get to welcome unique customers, where some will seem strangely familiar, with bizarre requests from you.
Key Features:
- Build the smithy of your dreams. Construct new rooms and facilities to expand your operations and take on more challenging orders. From a simple workshop to a gym, each room will also need to be fitted with the appropriate furniture and decor.
- Make decisions and deal with the consequences. Maintain your reputation and relationships with customers and conflicting factions, each offering different protection and bonuses for your budding enterprise.
- Become a renowned craftsman. Increase your prestige level to attract the rich, the famous, and the eccentric who will pay a premium.
- Forge a team of professionals. Manage employees with different skill sets, needs, and personalities. Keep them happy by building special facilities, installing amenities, and decorating their rooms.
Anvil Saga will be available on PC in Early Access on June 21, 2022. The release will include a sandbox mode and the first chapter of the story campaign. Post your comments below.
