ForgeTax

Game premise and structure

ForgeTax is a dark first-person roguelite that focuses on forging swords and navigating the risks associated with it. Players heat blades, bring them to an anvil, and attempt to increase their value with each strike. However, a single misstep can lead to the blade shattering, adding an element of uncertainty to the crafting process.

Mechanics and gameplay

You can chain successful strikes to activate a mechanic called Frenzy, which allows for a limited time of damage-free hammering. The game emphasizes both skill and luck, as players must carefully decide how aggressively to push their forging efforts while balancing the potential for loss.
