Following their first game, the vampire-themed Blood Bar Tycoon, Clever Trickster have announced Magic Forge Tycoon, a casual fantasy tycoon game that swaps fangs for runes.
The Steam page is live now if you want more information or to wishlist the game, or you can check out the official announcement trailer below:
Every hammer strike shapes the course of history in Magic Forge Tycoon. Players are tasked with managing their astral forge, craft enhanced weapons and decide the fate of warring kingdoms. Master the economy, fulfil demanding contracts from rulers and nobles and carve out YOUR name amongst the greatest blacksmiths! Will you fuel conflicts or forge peace?
Magic Forge Tycoon tasks players with mastering the art of forging, allowing them to select the best weapon patterns, fine-tune every setting and apply perfect enchantments for unmatched quality. Players will discover the perfect balance between style and durability to create exceptional weapons fit for kings.
Players must upgrade their forge to be the best of the best by purchasing new technologies and unlocking advanced crafting techniques and even invest in research to discover brand new weapon designs and exotic resources. Players will control the economy and trade in a dynamic market influenced by wars, alliances and resource scarcity by buying and selling materials. However, these materials must be managed wisely because poor investments will cost you greatly…
Players will accumulate Favor Points to unlock better contracts for rival factions, political perks and exclusive forge bonuses. Each player’s economic decisions will determine their kingdom’s fate: will their kingdom thrive for centuries or crumble to the ground?
Magic Forge Tycoon blends intuitive gameplay with intensive management mechanics. Expand your forge, master the art of trading and see how your creations shape the destiny of nations. Forge your legacy in fire and steel!
Magic Forge Tycoon is scheduled for release in January 2026 on PC and Mac, and will be optimised for Steam Deck.
