![]() Instead, you’ll have a lot more joy, and randomness when taking the fight online or amongst friends. There are a few challenges within the campaign to overcome, similar to that of destroying the pig strongholds in Angry Birds, but nothing to write home about either. While Forts has made attempts to use humour to tell the story here, it isn’t enough to make the campaign memorable. Neither of these two aspects make the game feel stale, instead, the joining of the two genres makes for frantic fun.Īs with many campaign-based RTS games, there’s just so much to be enjoyed without a gripping or interesting story line. Although you don’t have the option of using sticky balls to build your structure, building your fort in an almost tower approach has a similar feel, right down to the bounce and pressure and breaking points from the game. On the other end, the building component feels a lot like the balls you find in World of Goo. If you’ve ever played any of the never-ending Worms games you’ll have a good feel for the dynamic of trying to shoot down an opponent, although it doesn’t quite match the turn-based action. ![]() The sandbox mode allows players to build and share their own level editor, which is a huge plus for any gaming wanting to build a community around it. Although it doesn’t seem like it, the multiplayer mode allows up to eight players to battle online or via LAN. The campaign runs through 28 different levels with a new challenge in each. ![]() As you progress through the campaign, you’ll unlock new weapons, new upgrades, and quite a host of new weapons and the likes to fortify your establishment, all in the form of a tech tree, to take down the enemy base. While you or your opponent inflict damage on each other’s base, you do have the option of trying to shoot down any missiles and shots being rained down on your end, while also frantically repairing your fort from the damage suffered.įorts has many different playing modes, which includes a campaign mode, which is kicked off by means of a tutorial, multiplayer mode, skirmish mode, and sandbox mode. Simply put, it’s an arms race to victory. But it isn’t as simple as just destroying enemy forts, as you’re tasked with upgrading and building multiple structures, weapons, gathering resources, maintaining efficient energy supplies, all while actively still trying to build a defence and attacking your opponent. The wait is finally over, as the game releases today, 19th April 2017, for all to enjoy.įorts is a physics-based RTS game that offers a mixture of building structures and firing off a multitude of upgradable weapons at your opponents’ own bases, otherwise known as forts. It was met with great enthusiasm and was finally released to Steam Greenlight in late 2016 and closed beta between 12 November and 9 December 2016. EarthWork Games first announced and showcased their game, Forts, to the world at PAX in 2016.
