Fortified

About

Fortified is a strategy shooter set during a 1950s Martian invasion. Players take on one of four pulp-inspired heroes to defend Earth using Cold War weapons and experimental tech. The game mixes base-building with real-time combat as you construct defenses and direct troops against giant robotic threats. Up to four players can team up for co-op battles combining firepower and tactics to protect the city from overwhelming waves of enemies. The game stands out for blending action and strategy without leaning too heavily on either. Building a network of turrets and command posts while coordinating with teammates offers a dynamic challenge. Critics praised the energetic gameplay and retro aesthetic with a 78% score on Metacritic. While not every feature hits the mark the co-op mode and escalating combat sequences keep it engaging. The 1950s setting adds a distinct flavor with period-accurate military gear and over-the-top sci-fi twists.
