The Forge

The Forge

The Forge is a mining and smithing simulator Roblox game where players explore two major regions, mine ores, craft weapons and armor, and battle enemies. The game features deep crafting systems, combat mechanics, and progression paths that reward strategic planning and skillful execution.

Game Overview

The Forge features two major regions for players to explore:

• Stonewake's Cross - The starting hub where new players begin their journey
• Forgotten Kingdom - A fallen castle with advanced content and higher-tier resources

Each region contains shops, forges, caves, and unique areas with their own enemies, ores, and secrets to discover.

Core Game Systems

Combat Mechanics

Understanding The Forge's combat mechanics is essential for surviving encounters with enemies and bosses:

• Light Attacks - Fast M1 strikes ideal for safely poking enemies or finishing low-health targets
• Heavy Attacks - Slower but stronger M1 strikes best used when enemies are staggered or locked in animation
• Blocking & Parrying - Block to reduce damage; perfectly timed parries stun enemies and open them for counter-attacks
• Stamina Management - Limited stamina pool consumed when dashing, sprinting, and blocking. Running out leaves you vulnerable
• Combat State - Entering combat affects stamina drain and certain abilities

Mining & Crafting

The core gameplay loop revolves around mining ores and crafting equipment:

• Mining - Use pickaxes to break rocks and extract valuable ores
• Forging - Turn raw ores into weapons and armor at the forge
• Enhancing - Upgrade weapons and armor to boost their base stats
• Runes - Slot runes into equipment for powerful passive effects

Progression Systems

• Leveling - Gain XP by defeating enemies and completing quests
• Races - 13 races across 6 rarities (Common to Mythical) with unique perks and abilities
• Pickaxe Upgrades - Upgrade from starter Stone Pickaxe to endgame Arcane Pickaxe
• Equipment Crafting - Create weapons and armor using various ore combinations
