Gameplay Overview

ForgeTax is a dark, first-person forging roguelite. Players take on the role of a blacksmith working in a forge owned by a dragon. The primary loop involves heating blades and hammering them on an anvil to increase their value. However, every strike carries a risk of the blade shattering and turning to scrap.

Key Mechanics

• Hammering and Frenzy: If a player successfully forges the same sword 10 times, they charge a "Frenzy" meter. Activating Frenzy provides a brief window where the player can hammer the blade without any risk of it shattering, allowing for rapid value accumulation.
• The Dragon's Tribute: Players must present their forged swords at a counter and ring a bell to pay a tribute to the dragon. If the value of the swords meets the tribute requirement, the player earns another round. Failing to meet the tribute causes the dragon to lose patience, eventually leading to the player's death (tracked by the "Now Hiring" achievement).
• Relic Synergies: Instead of selling every blade to the dragon, players can feed swords into a relic machine. These relics provide powerful synergies, such as changing draw tickets or combining strange effects to manipulate the odds of a successful forge.

Progression and Mastery

The game features 19 Steam achievements that track player progression and mastery over different weapon types. To complete the game's "contract," players must eventually defeat the dragon, unlocking the "Clocking Out" achievement.

Mastery achievements are awarded for forging specific blade types to a +30 value. Confirmed blade types in the game include:

• Splitblade
• Holy Sword
• Runeblade
• Dragonfang
• Sawblade
• Citadel Sword
• Fishblade
• World Tree
• Funerary Sword
