What is Smelter?

Smelter combines side-scrolling action levels with top-down strategy in the Rumbly Lands, where Eve fuses with a creature while searching for Adam. In Classic Mode, you fight enemies, upgrade elemental abilities, construct buildings, and command troops to expand your territory. Action Mode lets your forces handle expansion, while Boss Rush focuses on boss fights.
