Jacksmith 2

Warning: You need to have a program capable of running an SWF file to play this game. You can click here to find one such program right here on our website.

Flipline Studio is best known for their Papa line of simluation games, but they've definitely made other games as well. There's a game where you guide a guppy to safety, a game where you blow up meteors, and a game where you...play as a blacksmith outfitting an army trying to defend their village. Let's take a closer look at that game, Jacksmith.

To play Jacksmith, simply run it with whatever SWF player you have.

The core gameplay is similar to the Papa line of games. Customers come to place orders and you have to fulfill their orders as best you can. However, the risks are different this time around. This time, you won't just lose some profit if you mess up an order - the weapons you forge will be weaker and the soldiers may fail to overcome the enemies. 

Of course, you have a different set of skills to be tested on compared to the Papa games as well. Just like blacksmithing, there's a bigger emphasis on patience and precision rather than the haphazard slapping of toppings among other things that Papa games often devolved into.

Jacksmith is a great example of how fun simulation games can be, and of how strong Flipline's formula can be if applied to something other than restaurant simulators. Jacksmith is a fantastic game.
