Early Access
Arcane Forge is a deep idle RPG in Early Access — fully playable and actively updated. Balancing and details may still shift; your feedback shapes what comes next.
Over the long run, three prestige cycles and 21 pacts await you. Early Access starts with Cycle I — Seal: seven pacts, the endzone The Fallen Empire, and the First Smith as the climax. Cycle II — Awakening and Cycle III — Convergence follow in future updates — included with your purchase.
The smithy of a fallen empire
Your forge was once the heart of a mighty realm. Today: ruins, ash — and the memory of alloys that shaped the world. In Arcane Forge, you rebuild the greatest smithy in fantasy. Progress continues even while you're offline.
Pick actions, gather resources, level skills, and expand production — from wood and coal through ores and alloys to essence, moonstone, and the World Soul. Gold fuels trade, contracts, and upgrades. In the background, workers produce, combat runs, and buildings keep earning — raise how much you gain while away through stewardship and time magic.
