Can I Run Blacksmith Master?

Untitled Studio released Blacksmith Master in 2025. It is a simulation strategy game, published by Hooded Horse. It offers a single player campaign. With more than 2 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. There are 72 achievements to chase. Builds exist for macOS and Linux as well as Windows. It is localised into 17 languages according to the store listing. This is current generation software, and the requirements read that way. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk.

Setting and environment

The game is set in a medieval setting. Play is structured around a city the player lays out. What taxes the PC is the number of things being simulated, which means the requirements describe the start of a game, not the end of one. There are 10 official screenshots to judge the look from. The view is in two dimensions.

Why Blacksmith Master is demanding

Blacksmith Master is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 ( target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Blacksmith Master. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. Blacksmith Master calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. The install is small at roughly 2 GB.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run Blacksmith Master?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Blacksmith Master targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 650 (1 GB) / AMD® Radeon™ HD 7770 (1 GB) and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 760 (2 GB) / AMD® Radeon™ RX 550 (4 GB) for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable5.31x
1440pComfortable2.99x
4KRuns well1.33x

A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against Blacksmith Master's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
