In a world in ruin, you take the role of a swordsmith at Eren Keep, one of the last places where people have found shelter. Through customers and the people around the keep, you encounter its rival factions and the tensions gathering under the Masked King.
Take commissions and design swords to meet each customer's requests. Shape blades, assemble modular hilts, add engravings and decorations, and balance attributes such as sharpness and handling against the commission's requirements. Materials, books, skills, and new techniques expand what you can make.
Campaign Mode combines smithing with a text-based story, dialogue choices, exploration, and occasional attribute checks. Progress unlocks more parts and crafting options; you can also hire characters to work at your forge. Creative Mode opens a broader swordmaking sandbox, and designs can be shared or exported as STL files.
Players often praise the combination of customizable sword design and a text-led dark fantasy story, with many saying the narrative, characters, and world drew them in more than they expected. The creative range of the sword editor and the separate sandbox mode also appeal to players who want to experiment with designs. Some reviews find the commissions repetitive or the forging less hands-on than a traditional blacksmithing simulation.
The Songs have fallen silent and the world lies in ruin, lost to madness and despair. But within the high walls of Eren Keep, life persists – held together by unbreakable will and the iron fist of the Masked King, ruler and tyrant, savior and messiah.
As the swordsmith of Eren Keep, you turn steel into something more precious than gold. Customers come with coin in their hands and demands on their lips, seeking blades of deadly precision, balance, and beauty. Meet their requests, perfect your craft and find trusted companions in one of the last beacons of civilization.
Yet in the dark corners of Eren Keep, whispers of rebellion stir. The former blacksmith’s mysterious disappearance looms as an ill omen over the role you play. But play it you must, for in Eren Keep, the right blade in the right hand will change everything.
Craft swords your way using freeform blade shaping and an intricate modular building system. Create the weapons of any world – East to West, history to fantasy – with every detail customized, every piece meticulously crafted and adorned. Explore a vast library of sword parts and engravings, with plenty of materials like metal, leather, wood, obsidian and ivory to choose from. No two creations are the same.
Take commissions from warriors, nobles, and mercenaries. Use innovative tools to design and craft each sword, balancing ratings and requirements with precision to meet your customers’ specific needs and expectations. Learn how to curve blades and carve engravings, acquire rare materials, and expand your arsenal of sword parts. Keep up with demand by hiring unique characters to your forge, each with their own ambitions and stories.
Visit beautifully illustrated locations around Eren Keep, from the bustling Citadel Square to the local tavern The Den, to find opportunity, alliances, or merely a moment of respite. As you craft blades for Eren Keep’s various factions – like the scavenging Crows or the scholars of the Magisterium – will you be drawn into their visions for reclaiming the fallen world? Or will your growing influence risk attracting the Masked King’s silent gaze?
Grow your collection of sword parts in Campaign Mode and forge without limits in Creative Mode, a deep swordmaking sandbox featuring a vast library of sword parts, tools, materials, and engravings. Use Magic Words to easily share creations among Bladesong’s active community of swordsmiths, and print models of your in-game creations by exporting STL files for 3D printing.
