« It's a fun, charming little game. It's quite addictive forging weapons and unlocking new items. I love the graphics - gives me 2004 Warcraft vibes in a good way! For the very reasonable price I thoroughly recommend Medieval Crafter. »

« If you like Blacksmithing this is one of the best I have personally played. I started the game and lost 5 hours to just making Swords and armor to sell. It isn't very in depth atm but well worth the money in my opinion. »

« It's okay. While I appreciate the loop that is building, it's happening too slowly and I'm losing interest. I'd try it out on sale if it's your thing but so far I'm not seeing much of anything cool. Just grinding. »
