  Fortified feels like a really good start, not a fully realized game. A lot of the pieces are there to make an enjoyable, exciting shooter with solid amounts of action and strategizing--especially when it comes to the lead characters, Martian invaders, and the zippy, frenzied co-op play--but the one-note level design and tactical limitations don’t provide enough reasons to keep coming back for very long.

  While the style does draw you in, Fortified has a hard time keeping players invested, and its barebones multiplayer options really hamper what could have been a great online co-op choice for fans of tower defense and shooters.

  Overall, I enjoyed my time with Fortified, but it is hard to recommend as a single-player-only experience due to it being too easy, and with no split-screen on offer, you're going to have to make friends or play with randoms online. The entire story consists of three short cutscenes, so those wanting a deep narrative need not apply.

  8.0

  Still, this is an obvious labor of love for the small indie team at Clapfoot and they’ve achieved their goal of putting out well-polished game. The actual nitty gritty gameplay of figuring out the best way to handle the mix of enemies with deployable defenses and then blasting aliens as a third-person shooter is worth picking up for a solid co-op experience with buddies.

  Fortified is a fun little romp for about six or seven hours. After that time, players will have already unlocked most of the traps and weapon upgrades for the four classes that are available. They will start to notice that many traps are reused for each class, but choosing the right load out is essential for matching up with your partners’ load outs.

  Fortified is compelling enough to get through, in its simple but gratifying gameplay, but it doesn’t offer enough to pull me in. More content, some high quality cut-scenes with an interesting plot, and additions to already existing mechanics and features would turn the game into what it has the potential to be. A grander and more ambitious version of Fortified is what I am looking for, not what is currently on offer.
