Forsaken Fortress for PC is a post-apocalyptic RPG with strong emphasis on survival elements. It is a debut of Photon Productions studio.

Plot

Forsaken Fortress’s story takes place years after a cataclysm that brought an end of human civilization. However, unlike most post-apocalyptic games that focus on exploration and experiencing adventures, Forsaken Fortress focuses more on survival and simulation. Our main objective is to ensure survival of the controlled heroes.

Game mechanics

The main objective of Forsaken Fortress for PC is to maintain and develop the base that shelters the survivors. We design the interiors ourselves, deciding where to locate sleeping room, storage, kitchen, etc. A medical office is also necessary, as are places for entertainment and, of course, defensive structures, like bunkers, fences and machine gun nests. The game world is a very dangerous place, and our base will face attacks of wild animals, mutants, and other survivors as well.

This doesn’t mean we spend all the time inside the base, as we must regularly leave our safe haven. This section put us in control of a small group searching for water, food and building resources. We must e.g. hunt animals, dismantle machines for parts and chop wood. Many of the most precious resources are guarded by enemies, who won’t give up on those goods without a fight. There are also story missions that let us push the story forward.

During the game, we will meet tens of characters wanting to join our group, each with different skills and personality. The latter plays a huge role, as the game simulates relationships between survivors. Some people may turn out to be cowards, while others, if they’re sent over and over on missions might become very aggressive. Psychical condition of people is affected by their friendships, safety and fulfillment of their basic needs.
