Jacksmith puts you in the role of a donkey blacksmith tasked with outfitting an army of animal warriors. Instead of fighting on the front lines, your job is to craft the perfect weapons for your troops before they march into battle against monsters. The loop is split between careful workshop crafting and watching your fully equipped team fight on the trail, where you collect the loot and blueprints dropped by defeated enemies.
Every weapon type requires a different process to forge. You will melt ore, pour molten metal into molds, hammer edges to a sharp finish, and assemble parts like hilts and bowstrings. The accuracy of your crafting directly affects the durability and damage of the weapons in combat. As you progress, you unlock better ores and specialized parts, allowing you to build weapons with elemental effects to counter specific monster types.
Controls
- Mouse: Interact with workshop tools, pour metal, hammer weapons, and assemble parts.
- Click and Drag: Swing the hammer, pour ore from the cauldron, and collect loot during battles.
Tips
- Don't rush the pour: Pouring the molten metal too quickly or unevenly will result in a flawed blade that breaks faster in combat.
- Match elements to enemies: Pay attention to the upcoming monsters. Using an elemental ore that counters their type deals massive bonus damage.
- Collect loot quickly: During the battle phase, make sure your mouse is ready to scoop up the dropped items before they scroll off the screen.
