Our take on The Gorcs' Forge
The kingdom's war and final outcome receive prominent emphasis, while the playable scope centers on a short forge-management loop: gathering resources, organizing workers, crafting equipment, and meeting delivery demands.
What is The Gorcs' Forge?
Play as Zrurk, leader of the Gorcs, in a short management game about running a wartime forge.
Organize materials, workforce, capital and other resources while setting up production for weapons and defensive equipment. Match gathering plans to changing demands, manage staff assignments to speed delivery, and complete quests by crafting the required arms. The kingdom's fate is decided at the end of the war, with either a bright future or a catastrophic fall. The game combines resource management, production planning and delivery deadlines with a fantasy story about the returning Tronraneren dwarves. It also includes a soundtrack and a story presented as part of the forge-management campaign.
