Clever Trickster is delighted to announce the release date of its second game, Magic Forge Tycoon, a casual fantasy management game. The game will be available in Early Access on Steam this November 18, 2025, for $11.99 with a launch discount of 20%! Version 1.0 is planned for €14.99.

After the vampiric satire of Blood Bar Tycoon, which transformed bloodlust into a biting metaphor for organic capitalism, Clever Trickster returns with a new strategic parody: this time, geopolitical conflicts are at the heart of the gameplay.

No stance is taken, but a subtle and absurd critique is served in a colorful and irreverent universe. True to its trademark, the studio delivers a cartoonish world on the surface, but one traversed by darker mechanics, without ever falling into ideology. The studio offers a strategic playground where humor serves as a mirror to power dynamics and where the player laughs... while wondering if they haven't crossed a line without realizing it.



The release is planned for Pc, Mac, Linux, and Steam Deck. The game was also designed for optimal ergonomics on Steam Deck from the beginning of development. Currently, the game demo is already available on Steam.
