WTMG's Leo Faria: "I enjoyed Blacksmith of the Sand Kingdom almost as much as I enjoyed Marenian Tavern Story. KEMCO and Rideon’s take on the JRPG-business simulator hybrid is still very fun, just like it was a few years ago. With that being said, playing it on an Xbox One isn’t exactly as ideal as the Switch. Even though the Switch version isn’t out yet, I’d recommend waiting for that version to be released before diving into yet another simplistic, but oddly enjoyable JRPG."
Ace said: Blacksmith of the Sand Kingdom is a very unique RPG. It begs you to question what you get when you cross a JRPG and Business Tycoon.
"January's usually a slow month for gaming but I've played some genuinely great titles last month so here are the best in 12 categories." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
James writes: "Would you believe it? It’s a new year and KEMCO are already on the scene to deliver a fantasy RPG to the masses. So, prepare to thrust yourself into a new journey as Blacksmith of the Sand Kingdom arrives on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC"
