Long live the Warriors.

In a familiar land in dire danger, your allies aren't many, but they are crucial.

Among them stands the Mysterious Blacksmith, a shadowy figure cloaked in secrecy, their face forever hidden behind a haunting donkey mask. Whispers speak of their origins in the far reaches of A Trader's Tale, where deals were struck in shadows and fortunes forged in fire. Now, they emerge from obscurity, not as a hero, but as an essential ally in the battle to save the Realms.

For those bold enough to seek their aid—and pay the right price—they offer more than mere tools of war. They forge game-changing upgrades, weapons imbued with strength, and armor that turns the tide of fate itself. With their craft, the once impossible becomes achievable, allowing you to stand where others have fallen, to triumph where even you tasted defeat before.

If the future seems dark to day, one thing is certain: in this war, the right blade or unbreakable shield could mean the difference between victory and ruin. Seek them out, and let the fire of their forge light the path to your destiny.



In the heat of battle, every decision shapes your journey, Warrior.

Early on, when resources are limited and challenges are mounting, it’s smart to focus on essential upgrades like Health, Damage, and Attack Speed. These will give you the tools you need to survive the initial stages. As your wealth increases, it’s time to think strategically. If you prefer a specific weapon style—whether ranged or melee—consider enhancing the number of attacks it can deliver. Alternatively, investing in Critical Hit Chance and Damage can help you land harder-hitting strikes right from the start.

As you progress, the Blacksmith becomes even more valuable. They offer powerful tools to refine your loadout, including Rerolls to customize your upgrades, Additional Weapon Slots to diversify your arsenal, and Tomes for early, game-changing enchantments. These features let you adapt and strengthen your strategy, ensuring you’re always ready to face what lies ahead.

Every Warrior has their own path to victory, and with the Blacksmith’s expertise, you’ll have the upgrades you need to turn the tide in your favor. Use their skills wisely, and no challenge will be insurmountable!





Several Key Features of the game can only be unlocked at the Blacksmith as the game progresses, such as:

• Rerolls
  
• More Weapon Slots
  
• Additional Tomes used for Weapon Enchantments
  

Every upgrade increases the cost of all others

All upgrades have a cap

Not every Upgrade is available from the beginning, some take certain conditions to unlock

• Check the Quests Menu for unlock conditions
  

When designing the Blacksmith feature for Royal Revolt Warriors it was important to us to provide players with a slow and steady progression of strength. No one single run, no matter if a map would be completed or not, should feel redundant to our players, since the Gold they earn can always be spent on something useful, that at the same time makes future runs less difficult. This is intended to create a sense of increasing power and battle versatility. So even if a Map proves to be too difficult at first, it can be overcome by tenacity and the help of the Blacksmith.

One challenging aspect of the feature for us as developers, is making sure there is also a steady progression of Gold costs in relation to power level, and at the same time making sure the upgrades are balanced with each other. This requires constant attention since the values need to be revised whenever a new upgrade is implemented.



Creating the character of the mysterious Blacksmith was a very interesting endeavor.
The design was first introduced in Royal Revolt: A Trader’s Tale, when the King himself initiated a cooperation between the protagonists and the smith, and has been undergoing several striking changes in its early development.

In the end, we settled for the current look, sporting a Donkey mask. This not only serves as a reference to a popular character from Royal Revolt 2 but is also a nod to the god of craftsmen, metalworking and blacksmiths Hephaestus from Greek mythology, whose sacred animal was a Donkey.

The design itself is shrouded in mystery, never speaking a single word, the face hidden behind a strange mask. The Blacksmith’s true identity has yet to be revealed.

When the King needs a brain as sharp as a blade, Mina steps up—Advisor, battle strategist, and ultimate problem-solver. Known for her razor-sharp wit and unbreakable loyalty, Mina is the Queen of Comebacks both on and off the battlefield. Now, with her trusty Boomerang, she’s more than just a voice of wisdom—she’s a whirlwind of precision, bringing both brilliance and bruises to every fight. She jokes that her backpack’s like a black hole for everyone’s gear, and her two older brothers, Arthur and Jonathan, would agree—she’s always had the brains of the family.







Years of joining the King on the battlefield have made Mina a powerful, resourceful and clever companion. What she lacks in physical strength she more than makes up for with her ability to carry Items around in her beloved Backpack:

• The Backpack automatically stores Pickups, allowing Mina to use them at any time or drop them for allies.
  
• Tapping the button uses the item in the backpack, holding down the button throws it forward so your friends can pick it up
  
• As the ability levels up, it can store more types of pickups, beyond just health regeneration items.
  
• At Level 2, Powerups can be added to the Backpack as well.
  

Carrying around a regular Sword in her younger years, Mina has since found the true benefits of wielding a ranged Weapon.

• The Boomerang targets the nearest enemy in a straight line, dealing damage on its way out and back.
  
• Each additional projectile targets random enemies within range.
  
• Leveling up increases projectile count, attack speed, duration, and damage. At max level, the Boomerang will fly past the Advisor on its return, allowing it to hit enemies behind her as well.
  

Weapon Enchantments aimed at the Boomerang, naturally make Mina’s weapon of choice even more powerful, making it a goal worth working towards.

Spiral Boomerang: Changes the attack pattern to spiral around the Advisor, covering a full 360° radius.









Mina has relatively low health, but her powerful Boomerang weapon more than compensates for it. Like the King, it’s crucial to prioritize upgrading the main Weapon early to unlock its level 8 ability. This removes downtime between attacks, allowing the Advisor to dominate the battlefield from the center while maintaining an upper hand.

Incorporating Gaia Harp or Monk’s Brew early on, if available, helps smooth out the randomness of the Boomerang’s attack pattern, giving you more control over the fight. The Boomerang even collects EXP Crystals automatically, reducing the need for constant movement. However, hunting down barrels, vases or crates for valuable pickups to store in the Backpack is vital. Keeping Ham handy to heal or a Bomb to clear enemy waves can be game-changers in tight situations.

As enemies grow tougher, essential trinkets like Prism, Royal Amulet, and Pocket Watch will bolster your offensive capabilities. Prism increases projectile count, benefiting both the Boomerang and Gaia Harp, while Royal Amulet enhances weapon damage. Pocket Watch extends the Boomerang's flight and Gaia Harp’s active time, helping you sustain damage output. If you find O.L.U.M., the increased projectile size will let you hit even more enemies with each attack, boosting your endgame effectiveness.



Don’t forget to pick up the Golden Compass, which enables the Boomerang’s Enchantment. With the Spiral Boomerang, you’ll shred through enemies in every direction, even overwhelming bosses with ease. Once fully equipped, the Advisor will turn the battlefield into a breeze.





In co-op, the Advisor pairs well with a tanky ally like Christa. Christa can take hits and slow down enemies, giving the Advisor the time needed to clear out threats with her Boomerang and abilities. Together, they create a balanced team where Christa holds the line and the Advisor dishes out relentless damage from a safe distance.





While not quite as old as the King’s, Mina’s original design is still up there amongst the historic legacy characters that helped shape Royal Revolt since its early beginnings. Although she didn’t show up until the sequel in 2013, she has since undoubtedly become the most recognizable face of the franchise, next to the King. She underwent many different outfit and hairdo iterations, before we settled for the now iconic look. Because of the importance of this design, we absolutely wanted to nail her transition from the girl of the past to the young woman she became in Royal Revolt Warriors. A challenge was to maintain her recognizability, while also showing a more mature personality, as she shed her more bratty spitfire-traits of previous installments to become a more focussed and keen character. Furthermore, since Mina was noticeably absent from Royal Revolt: A Trader's Tale, her new grown up version not only had to stay true to her legacy design, but also fit in seamlessly with the cast members that already received the "aging" treatment.

When thinking about her new Weapon (to avoid the repetition of the Sword she used to wield), the Boomerang occurred to us a natural fit, highlighting her nimble fighting style and resourceful wit. Mina is as loyal as they come and her lifelong friendship with the King is something we definitely wanted to translate in her design’s latest rendition.
