Forge Shop: Lost Temple

In a world ravaged by the undead, the hammer still strikes, and survival is forged in fire. That’s the premise behind Forge Shop, our pick for Game of the Week – an immersive simulator that puts you in charge of crafting gear and growing a blacksmith empire amid the chaos of a zombie apocalypse.

At first glance, Forge Shop might seem like your classic idle simulator, but dive a little deeper and you’ll find a layered strategy game with a surprising amount of depth. You start from scratch, building your humble shop, unlocking workstations, and slowly transforming it into the top destination for adventurers in need of weapons, armor, and survival gear. Every piece of equipment matters, every trade counts, and every upgrade shapes your path through this post-apocalyptic world.

And if crafting and commerce weren’t exciting enough, the game’s latest update raises the stakes: introducing T11 equipment and the limited-time Lost Temple event, available until June 30. The Deserted Temple has opened its gates, offering brave players a chance to send their heroes on high-risk quests with high-tier rewards. Team up with guildmates, take on waves of mysterious challenges, and earn your place in the world’s new order – because in Forge Shop, glory is just as important as gold.

What we love about Forge Shop is how it blends tactical simulation with RPG elements in a way that keeps you hooked. Whether you're optimizing your production line, haggling with heroes, or planning a raid into the Lost Temple, there’s always something to do, build, or conquer. Its stylized visuals and gritty setting perfectly complement the gameplay, making it more than just another idle tapper—it’s a survival saga with strategy at its core.
