Fortified

I LOVE Orcs Must Die. It is the best tower defense series in the world to me. So when I found out this game is essentially a sci-fi clone of it, I was absolutely on board. Now, is the game as funny and charming as OMD? Nope. Not at all. But "muh sources are telling me..." has become an inside joke and the comic/retro/50's B-movie sci-fi is very fitting and fun to play around in! One big thing it does have over OMD is being able to command units. In OMD, you have archers, knights, dwarves ect. that you can place down and they'll attack from or near their placement automatically. Fortified does the same, BUT you can also tell them to move around. There's a command to run back and protect the base, one to follow you at all times, one to stand and guard a specific area and one to go back to their original placements. It's actually VERY cool. You can essentially have an army following you around every inch of the maps without worrying about their specific placements. The only thing I'm bummed about the game is that it's extremely short. Like, 4-5 hours TOPS short (unless you 100% it). I feel like the devs were going to make it bigger and grander, but cut it short. Does it scratch t…

I see my life in two phases - before I played Fortified, and after. I didn't expect much going in, I saw the game for free and thought it couldn't be anything special. 0.3 hours later, and I will never see things the same EVER again. When you play something as masterfully and meticulously planned out and executed as Fortified, there's no point in playing anything else ever again. My friends kept trying to tear me away from Fortified, they wanted me to "play other games" or "go outside" but I realized that they were fake friends, taking me away from my one true love, alien tower defense games. They are dead to me. I can't wait to rank among the most veteran Fortified players, when I reach 0.6 hours playtime. Competitive Fortified, here I come.
