About This Game



Smelter is a strategy, action-platformer combo inspired by classics from the 16-bit era. Lead Smelter and Eve, along with the faithful Zirm forces by expanding Smelter’s territory across the Rumbly Lands in top-down strategy levels included in the Classic Mode, or dive into thrilling side-scrolling platforming mayhem with Action Mode, leaving Smelter’s forces to annex key locations themselves. Build, attack and advance your army -- unlock, upgrade and unleash elemental action skills against vicious enemies, perilous environments and take on dangerous bosses with Boss Rush Mode. Release the power of Smelter!

STORY

After the untimely destruction of the Garden, Eve finds herself in an unfamiliar world with her beloved Adam nowhere to be found. In her search for Adam, she encounters Smelter, an unusually over-confident, winged creature with the powerful ability to transform and fuse with others, giving them incredible powers.

Offering his apparently “invaluable” assistance, Smelter transforms and fuses with Eve. They depart on a journey to the treacherous Rumbly Lands. There, they expand Smelter’s territory, allowing them to reach further into the various domains to find out what happened to her Adam, hoping to find him in one piece and find a way back home to their peaceful lives...
