[First Impression] Blacksmith

#### <center>This game with it's handrawn art and quirky gameplay is a strange, unique experience. Is it a good one?</center>

This post is part of my "First Impression" series:

> I'm playing & posting about the games from my backlog. Here I write about them and think whether I'd try finishing them or not. Though many of them are from [Indiegala.](https://steemit.com/gaming/@ahmadmanga/why-indiegala-bundles-who-d-enjoy-them-the-most)

### <center>Unique Game Experience</center>

The first thing I noticed in Blacksmith is the art, the game looks like drawings sketched by 10 years old child, and I mean that in a good way.

Making tools of copper</center>

**Blacksmith** concept is simple. You play as the blacksmith of the city and make tools for townspeople and weapons for heroes. There's adventuring part of the game where the heroes go and fight in dungeons.

The hero goes on an adventure.</center>

When you're at your workshop you can walk around, go to sleep and/or talk with visitors.

The interface is cliunky and not intuitive. I had to experiment before I got used to it. I lost some of my materials in my failed attempts to create the first item (a new Pan for the innkeeper.) And after I finally created it, I didn't know I have to give it to him via "trade" window.

But after I got used to it I started to make tools no problem.

### <center>Final Thoughts</center>

In my first impression play, I enjoyed the game more than I thought I would. The *childish* art suits the game very well and after you know how to play it's not a bad game.

Blacksmith has a lot of shortcomings, and I won't say it's a good game... But at least it's better than many Assets Flips out there on the steam store.

--------------------------
### <center>Will I try to complete this game?</center>
<center>**Maybe...
I want to see how far it keeps me entertained.**</center>

Thanks for reading and commenting... I agree it's better than most mobile games I played. PC gamers have the tendency to have high standards.
