8.0
I've no reason to doubt this game will be improved with updates, but as it stands right now, it's going to need a fair bit of work to fully realize the fantastic potential laying tantalizingly just out of reach.

Critic reviews
- 8.0Still, it's a rough recommendation for RTS newcomers - though they may get some enjoyment out of an even match via the multiplayer mode
- 6.0I hadn’t actually played the original Block Fortress prior to penning this review. On the advice of others I sampled it and instantly understood just why it was so beloved. But despite the shared pedigree, Block Fortress: War feels half-realized and, sadly, doesn’t deliver the same kind of fun or promise.
- 7.0Things can get a little repetitive, and sometimes the later levels feel a little like a slog, but updating and upgrading your blocks, and playing as the different armies, adds variety when the game starts to lag. Block Fortress War isn't perfect, but there's a bash-bash drive to its block capturing, building, and violence that means it's engaging more often than not.
- 6.0An admirably deep strategic experience, Block Fortress: War is let down by unintuitive controls and balance issues.
