Forts

Mechanics

The gameplay premise in Forts is slightly different from what other RTS have the players accustomed to. During the game, we observe the action from the side, and our task is to build from scratch the eponymous forts and defend them, as well as destroy the fortresses belonging to our enemies. It is worth to notice, that we build the forts on the resources that are required for the completion of our mission - therefore sometimes we need to build them in quite imaginative places: under a rock shelf, just above a cliff or in a narrow gap between rocks. Things are further complicated by the fact that this also applies to buildings of our adversaries - the specificity of the map sometimes requires the development of unusual tactics.

We use the aforementioned raw materials for the development of technology tree, which enables us to acquire an increasingly destructive arsenal - apart from infantry fighting at our side, a fort can be protected by, for example, laser guns or rocket launchers. Another help are the commanders, equipped with individual ive skills to increase our combat potential, and a powerful special skill.

Game modes

Forts offers a single-player campaign with twenty-eight missions. Apart from that, there is also a battle mode, where we can fight both AI and a maximum of seven players in an online multiplayer, which includes, among other things, co-op and team deathmatch modes. All this is complemented by a special editor that enables us to create our own maps; the title also s modifications developed by players.

Technical aspects

Two-dimensional visuals of Forts present high quality. The devs decided to employ cartoonish style and rich colors. Noteworthy is the advanced physics engine, which ensures that the forts disintegrate in the most realistic and eye-catching way possible.
