Fortified is a pellet-proof shooter enriched with tower defense elements. The game is maintained in a retrofuturistic climate, moving us to an alternative version of the 1950s and casting in the role of people trying to stop the invasion of aliens on Earth. During the mission we have to repel waves of enemies, manually fighting with the help of a rich arsenal, as well as putting up defensive structures, traps and automatic watchtowers.

Fortified, available on PC and XONE, is action game enriched with strategic elements. The production was a debut project of Clapfoot studio. This developer has also created, among others, Foxhole.

Plot

The action takes place in the 1950s in the United States. However, this is not the USA as we know from history books. Instead, Fortified takes us into an alternative reality, based on old science fiction films from the middle of the 20th century.

In the vision of the world presented by the authors, the Earth became the target of a Martian invasion. Aliens are aggressive and have advanced technologies. They are fought by brave American heroes, armed with the latest technology developed for the Cold War in secret laboratories financed by the U.S. government.

Mechanics

The gameplay mechanics in Fortified, available on PC and XONE, combine elements of an action game and tower defense strategy. On each level, we must neutralize all enemy forces. They attack in waves and their armies are very diverse, requiring different tactics to defeat the invaders.

We control our character directly using a wide arsenal of weapons, which require manual targeting, as in typical shooters. At the same time, the player is also given the opportunity to construct a variety of defensive structures, watchtowers, and traps that help them to defeat the aliens.

Players can control one of the four classes based on archetypes from the movies of the 1950s. The available heroes are a navy soldier, a space gunslinger armed with a shotgun, a government agency employee and a warrior equipped with a jet backpack.

Game modes

In Fortified, we can play alone or in cooperation mode for up to four people.

Technical aspects

The game offers attractive three-dimensional graphics, made in a slight cartoon style, which very convincingly imitates the style of science fiction films from the 1950s.
