  Got this looking to get a good co-op tower defense going with a friend and, hey, it was like $2 on sale. After about a half hour it's just not scratching that itch. The comparison to Orcs Must die is an easy one to make but the difference here is that the towers/traps feel almost secondary - it's more of an arena shooter with some backup. The towers/traps you can place in any given level are relatively few, plus they feel both slow and underpowered. Arena-wise I'm pretty disappointed in the layouts; they seem pretty cramped and there's not many strategic decisions you can make with placement; just plunk something directly in the path because there isn't much space on either side to do anything else. Maybe it gets more engaging, or maybe it's just not for me, but it certainly seems like there games out there that do this much better.

  4 different "saviours" of Earth battle waves of aliens in this throwback to old sci fi films game. If you like tower defence type shooters, different weapons and upgrades together with traps etc youll like this game. Ground troop placements can be commanded to move around the map too (actually animated), so its not a totally static affair. The game is great online and the online code is so good , you would think your in single player even with 4 players and a massive army of aliens stomping toward you. Check out the trailer video, the actual gameplay is just as frantic and such a buzz blasting those nasty aliens to bits.

  3rd person co-op tower defense. Yes, it's basically a sci-fi version of Orcs Must Die but (A) it's a great retro-futuristic setting, (B) it has 4 playable characters all with their own unique abilities, and (C) it has some interesting twists on weapons and defenses. I played for a couple hours with my kid and we would have kept going but it was getting too late in the evening. Even on Normal difficulty (there's no "Easy") it was quite a challenge. Once we got to the third stage, we found ourselves getting whupped pretty good until we figured out a few tactics. One important tactic is to resell and move/mix your defenses around as needed. They don't depreciate so the game encourages this. If you have minions (way way cool) they act as a squad you can issue orders to. Once I discovered that, it made a pretty big difference. Other than that, smart placement of defenses, situational awareness, timing "Super" mode correctly (you get a super boost you can use once or twice per map), and good aim is pretty much all you need. The game's slick, the graphics are nice, the setting is unique (groovalicious!), and the gunplay, tactics, and mechanics are a ton of fun. The progression system of earning points to spend on upgrades is well paced. You can respec if you want to try spending your points differently, and I think that's essential. My only gripes: I wish they had more female characters (at least one other), and I wish the game had more levels. Heck, it would be cool if there were a few "adventure" style maps where you'd have to make your way from point A to point B fending off enemies (like in the Sniper games). There are a couple different modes for each map though, so that's cool. If you have a friend who might be interested in playing this with you, I highly recommend it.

  It's what Orcs Must Die 3 should have been. Not as deep or polished, but still very fun and worth playing.

  Fortified is a tower defense action game, developed and published by Clapfoot, releasing on the PC in February 2016. The game follows the same style as the extremely popular classic tower defense title, Orcs Must Die! The gameplay is played from a third-person perspective of one of four characters. You have a selection of four different classes to play as, each with their own unique special abilities. Each map has a target which you must protect from oncoming martian invaders. You are able to do this by taking on the enemies yourself as well as building defences along the enemies routes to your base. Those that have played Orcs Must Die will feel very much at home with the style of gameplay on offer here. You are able to build defences for your base on the fly in the midst of battle and at the beginning of every level. This allows you to redeploy different units in the middle of a level depending on what enemies you are facing in oncoming waves. The gameplay does get a little bit repetitive towards the later stages of the game as you get used to the different types of enemies. Enemy types can range from drones, robots, flying space ships and giant bosses. Visually, Fortified hits all the right notes. The game is graphically based on a 50s movie with some neat character designs and top notch animation along with them. The environments are a little bland, to say the least, but other than that, the game looks really good and that’s mainly down to the interesting art style being used. Fortified is a tricky game to master; the first few stages do a good job of introducing you to the game, but you soon get thrown in at the deep end as you find the need to min-max your defences almost to perfection once you hit the halfway mark in the campaign. The boss fights are probably the trickiest aspect as they have some really interesting mechanics that prove more of a challenge than the rest of the game combined. Even with a state of the art defense system in the works, you may still fall victim of a boss simply just waltzing through your base and wrecking everything you have worked so hard on. The levels throughout the game are nicely designed; the beginning stages only have one entry point for enemies to join the fight, but as you get further and further into the game, you soon have to deal with three or four points of entry; this is when things turn very hectic and you’ll be zipping to opposite sides of the map on a reoccurring basis. The game does miss out on having a teleporting system that Orcs Must Die had which does make transporting a bit of a chore, especially when the character’s sprint ability isn’t much faster than their regular run. A single play through the game using one character took me just under four hours to complete; the game has tons of replayability with three more characters to use which will make for a different experience each time due to their variety in abilities. Fortified also has varying levels of difficulty which will also keep the hardcore tower defense fans amongst us jumping with joy, with the likes of Orcs Must Die! Relying heavily on higher difficulty levels to keep you coming back for more. This game could quite easily reach twenty hours of content if you try and complete everything. The game runs very well at higher resolutions with a wide selection of graphical options for you to change to your liking. I preferred using keyboard and mouse for my playthrough but full controller support is available. All in all, Fortified is a good tower defense title, it does a lot of things right but it did WOW me at any point. The price point of £10.99 is fair and you’ll easily get your monies worth, but if you haven’t played the more staple tower defense titles out there, you’d be better off trying them first. Veterans of the genre will for sure want to be picking this game up, though.

  I love the idea behind this game, but the execution leaves alot to be desired. The weapons don't feel substantial. Most of the turrets don't really do their job well. They often have insanely small areas of effect. The result is that this is a game that is trying to be a mash-up of a shooter and turret defense game, yet fails at each. The "classes" also are insufficiently differentiated. There's a little humor injected with some random sayings, and the 50s atmosphere is there...although it's not as strong as I wish it was. Overall Iron Brigade (aka Trenched) did this same schtick, but did it FAR better.

  A decent third-person-shooter/tower defense hybrid in the vein of games like Orcs Must Die or Iron Brigade, though simpler in execution with less content overall. Its got what it needs: Some progression, four player coop, and an amusing 50s pulp asthetic.

  This is Orc Must Die, but 4 player and more focused on players than traps. It's great fun, and worth the buy, especially on sale. Don't expect the polish, the depth, or even the ease of use of OMD but it's a fun game to get together with some friends and play. My only complaint is this. This is not a VR game, but for some reason it triggers STEAM VR to launch every time I launch the game. I had to disconnect my head set in order to get it to play and it still tries to launch but I'm at least able to kill it (VR) with out it killing the game if the head set is not plugged in. I'm sure devs probably don't see the good reviews but if you/they do.. Please fix that... Thanks
