Blasted Fortress

Fun, good concept, but too too grindy. Not enough fun collapsing towers over and over again.

Physics puzzle game where you shoot a cannon at different speed/angles to achieve objectives. Has some upgrading and stuff.

boringly repetitive :(

Fun, good concept, but too too grindy. Not enough fun collapsing towers over and over again to keep me interested, yet I still finished it. No progression of new rocks to throw, only different kinds at one tier higher above tossing pebbles.

Bad Angry Birds-like game that feels like it was never finished, despite not being in Early Access. There's a Campaign that unlocks more story which I didn't complete because it's just "do 4 random maps and then get a page of a story" nine times, so I stopped after doing it once, and four bosses you have to unlock by throwing your level-up talismans at them instead, which unlock new types of bullet. Unfortunately the biggest problem with Blasted Fortress is there's just basically nothing to the game, once you've done a few stages and one boss fight, you've seen everything there is to have, and the unlockable bullet types aren't very useful at all... Not recommended. (Yes I know I didn't finish it. I also spent some time idling for all the cards, so my actual playtime is more like 1 hour flat.)

So, what makes these kinds of games fun for me (Crush the Castle, Angry Birds, Some Math Game I Played During Elementary School That Wasn't Blocked), is seeing everything collapse after knocking down a pillar or taking out a wall. Though I also keep the objectives in mind, seeing a gigantic structure crumble to dust with just a few well-placed cannonballs/dynamite/boulders is what's fun about these games. In Blasted Fortress, while the cannonballs are tied to physics, the fortresses aren't. Taking out an entire layer to a fortress does not split apart the roof and send it tumbling down, and taking out the bottom of a tower does not cause it to topple. Nothing moves, actually... no matter how much damage you do, every (intact) block stays exactly where it was at the beginning of the siege. This is my biggest complaint; it's taking away my reward. I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about making money, or completing random levels, or completing minigames, or whatever other side content the game has to offer. I just want the fortress to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BLASTED. As for all of the side content, it comes completely out of the blue after that short (but helpful) tutorial when you start a new game. It tells…
