The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the homemade aesthetic and simple design, while others criticize the overall quality, long load times, and lack of polish. Many users feel that the graphics are typical of indie games and suggest that improvements to the user interface and player experience should take precedence over visual enhancements. Overall, the graphics are seen as decent but in need of refinement to enhance gameplay.
- “With the typical graphics you would expect from an indie game and ambient music, Blacksmith Legends takes the art of blacksmithing beyond the normal hammer and anvil, hiring heroes and attacking bandits and making the empire a better place.”
- “I enjoy the simple graphics and gameplay.”
- “The graphics are homemade on stream.”
- “Bad graphics, needs a load screen not a black screen makes you think it's broken, very long loads, makes your character sleep and charges you for stone and wood, and you need to save manually.”
- “Not developed UI nor smooth graphics.”

Players appreciate the satisfying gameplay loop and lively crafting mechanics, but express a desire for improved automation options and a wider variety of gameplay styles. While some enjoy the turn-based combat and overall experience, others feel the game lacks depth and complexity compared to established titles like "Stardew Valley" and "Graveyard Keeper." Overall, the gameplay is seen as enjoyable but in need of more robust mechanics to enhance engagement.
- “The gameplay loop is satisfying.”
- “The gameplay is lively, craft-as-much-as-you-can, with a turn-based, automatic fight structure.”
- “Provide a variety of gameplay styles (e.g., artisan vs mass production, magic bonuses, etc.).”
- “The core loop has simply no real gameplay.”
- “This isn't a proper farming game with lots of mechanics like 'Stardew Valley', this isn't a proper inn game like 'Graveyard Keeper', and, more importantly, this isn't a game about smithing.”
- “Improve automation options (crafting, selling, even the weekly in-game bonuses) and allow people to focus more on gameplay style.”

grinding
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players note that "My Time at Portia" involves significant grinding, particularly with lengthy item crafting times that can exceed 10 minutes. While this encourages players to engage in various activities like farming and battling, it lacks the depth of mechanics found in dedicated farming games like "Stardew Valley" or simulation games like "Graveyard Keeper." Overall, the grinding aspect feels less focused and more like a means to fill time rather than a core game feature.
- “In 'My Time at Portia', I can understand low FPS, but when crafting items takes 10+ minutes, it forces you to leave the smithy and engage in farming, battling, adventuring, fishing, etc. It feels more like a chore than a game.”
- “This isn't a proper farming game with lots of mechanics like 'Stardew Valley'. This isn't a proper inn game like 'Graveyard Keeper', and, more importantly, this isn't a game about smithing.”
