Path of Gear: Blacksmith's Legend

This game is part of the Bahamut 30th Anniversary Indie Game Promotion Program. Direct battles as a blacksmith-strategist by writing your action script on the Ouruburos timeline. Enemy actions are displayed in one-second intervals, clearly showing what will happen, and when, over the next 20 seconds of combat. Use that time wisely to: - Strike before deadly enemy skills go off - Chain actions together to trigger affix reactions that play off one another - Plan not only where each weapon sits on the timeline, but also which weapons you repair and prepare to fit your long-term plan Different weapon weights and types directly affect how long it takes to swing. If you time your attacks just right, you can seize the advantage—or even trigger unexpected chain reactions across the timeline. Victory or death awaits in the next 20 seconds. Will your strategy win the day, or be the end of your adventurers? Legendary blacksmiths don’t just “make” weapons; true masters start by choosing the right mold and materials, shaping a weapon’s personality one hammer strike at a time. Collect unique crafting materials from powerful enemies on your journey. Each material has its own qualities and traits, allowing for endless weapon combinations. Choose the appropriate weapon mold, then socket materials into its slots to let affixes and weapon traits interact with each other Experiment with different “Mold × Material” combinations to forge the core weapon that defines your build The quality of your weapons are defined by your combinations and your design. Every hammer blow is a choice for your build; every completed weapon is the embodiment of your ideas and your journey. Develop your skills as a blacksmith, with over 400 talents and different progression paths to not only choose your path as a Blacksmith, but also to forge new works. These talents don’t reset just because a single run ends. Instead, every adventure and every death feeds into your growth. Some talents turn you into a glass cannon at full HP and a sturdy wall at low HP. Others specialize in certain weapon types, allowing weapon molds to grow alongside you. There are even high-risk talents that chip away a bit of your HP every time you attack, in exchange for damage that spirals higher the longer you fight. You can: Let each death become fuel, growing stronger bit by bit as you search for the build that fits you best Here, strength isn’t left to stats and RNG alone: it’s shaped by your point allocation and your design choices. Every talent point you spend is a statement about your build; every talent route you unlock is the shape of your thinking and your journey made visible. You can’t forge and quest on an empty stomach. Before every adventure stop by the restaurant for a proper meal. Not only does the head chef prepare a special menu, there’s also a picky cat critic who rates your dishes and influences the buffs you take into your next outing. Ingredients accumulate over multiple adventures: defeating monsters and clearing events gives you new ingredients to bring back. Adjust the ratio of your ingredient based on their properties, and aim for the right range to cook a highly-rated dish. Eating isn’t just a zero-sum game. There is no optimal meal for a hungry adventurer. Experimenting with unusual or risky ingredients can often provide powerful boons - or worse side effects. Every meal is preparation for what comes next: will you eat safely and play it conservative, or taste forbidden power and bear its consequences? Explore a world, one hexagonal tile at a time. Travel beyond your capability, and you risk Calamity, stronger enemies, and more pressure in battle. Plot your route through the world carefully. There are safe routes, shortcuts, and hidden treasure for the discerning eye. Each map also contains over 80 random events that require your quick-thinking and guile. Win equipment, or talk yourself into a brutal fight. The choice is yours.
