Fortix is an adventure strategy game about reclaiming your ancestors’ land. Basically, evil beings have taken over the once fertile land of Fortiana. Your mission is to pillage castles and return glory to your rightful hands. You get to fight dragons, even.
I liked this arcade-esque game. It was really easy to get a hang of the controls and actions, which I was not really expecting. I like to look at the screenshots before I decide to try a game out and this one looked a little more complicated than what I am used to. Still, I am glad I tried it. It was one of those games that had a nice learning curve. It was not hard to get but ultimately, as the game got tougher and the controls and power ups got more advanced it was a very challenging adventure.
It is not really what the game developers focused on but I loved the story for this game. Rather than just killing for no reason or defending some nameless castle, you have a point and reason for everything you are doing. This might not seem like an important thing to everyone but to me it is really important. I do not want to do all that work for something I do not care about.
The visuals and music for Fortix are nice. The game runs smoothly and really takes you to another world while you are playing it. It is one of those games that you can really sink into. Not to mention that this is a game that is family friendly. You can play it with anyone of any ages. The mechanics are childs’ play, being very simple and easy to remember.
One of the most obvious things about the game is also one of the most compelling. A fantasy game really sucks you into the world it sets up. This means that you do not only play as a valiant knight who battles dragons but you are also presented with many different chances to really submerge yourself in the medieval culture.
As I said before Fortix is great for the family. It has something for everyone. It is fantastic and gritty while being both a strategy game and a casual game. It is very versatile and you might be surprised by the different levels. It was a real pleasure the entire time I was playing it.
