Battlesmiths: Blade and Forge news & patch notes

Heroes! Something is brewing in the kingdom of Battlesmiths. One of your wealthiest vassals has stopped sending regular caravans with gold and bread. He does not answer letters, and his castle gates are bolted shut. It is time to gather a loyal squad and pay an old friend a personal visit.

Upon arrival, a terrible truth is revealed: the castle has been seized by a coven of succubi. The lord's mind is completely bewitched by their leader, and the entire treasury is being squandered on demonic feasts. Your task is to fight through the enchanted guards, defeat the demoness, and restore order to these lands!

What awaits you in this event:

• Grim Castle Atmosphere: Explore familiar locations transformed by demonic magic. Ominous mist, braziers, and coven symbols have completely changed the look of the Red Castle.

• New Challenges and Enemies: Battle the vassal's personal guard, whose minds are captured by spells, as well as creatures of the abyss — cerberi, imps, and succubi.

• Boss Battles: Make your way to the throne room for a showdown with the High Succubus. But be careful: once the spell is broken, the consequences may be unpredictable.

• Event Mechanics: Complete story missions and quests to earn event currency — Black Roses. Use them to open chests full of valuable resources.

Main Reward — an exclusive artifact sword.

Additionally: During the event, the Wheel of Luck returns to the game, where you can test your luck and get additional event currency to reach the main reward faster.

Limited Time! You only have 10 days to purge the castle of filth, save (or subdue) the vassal, and claim exclusive trophies.

To battle, smiths! The succubus hunt begins!

A new massive event is starting in Battlesmiths! Plenty of dangerous tasks and truly generous trophies await you. Prove your valor in battle, outshine your rivals, and etch your name among the best warriors of the month!

Hey Battlesmiths,

While we're still some time away from the Steam release of our game, we'd like to share the news concerning Steam Deck playability. Our testing shows great results with launching and playing Battlesmiths on Steam Deck (in fact, some of our developers now prefer it to any other platform).

We can safely say that Battlesmiths is already fully playable on Steam Deck via the already available touch screen control options and will be compatible with Steam Deck upon Steam release (screenshots captured on Steam Deck below).
