That gives you a lot of freedom when it comes to planning out how to tackle the enemy.Īll the action takes place on relatively tight maps and most characters have quite a lot of movement available to them.

Unlike many other games though, you’re also free to swap between your heroes at will and attacking won’t end their turn automatically.

If you’ve ever played XCOM or anything of that ilk you’ll be instantly familiar with the gist of how Fort Triumph works – you and the enemy take turns moving characters around the place, spending Action Points to do things like attack or use special abilities. Especially the end of chapter two leading into chapter 3. There’s a couple of moments where it feels like chunks of the narrative are missing, too. The actual story itself is bolstered by a few fun characters but is mostly dull with nothing truly memorable. It’s a mish-mash, but at least it does allow the story to work while still allowing some of your squad to perish if you screw up.

The developers really needed to think about the story they wanted to tell, versus the fact they wanted to include character death.īy comparison, the new Gears Tactics uses a system where certain characters can’t be permanently killed, while others can be. They’ll talk about stuff that never happened to this new character like it actually did happen to them. They’ll chat about things like their friend never died, and there isn’t a strange new person standing around. This new person with a new name will somehow take on the personality of their predecessor, and the rest of the gang will simply carry on like nothing happened. What Fort Triumph does at this point is grab the strongest character you have that represents the class of your missing heroes, and then just rams those new named characters into the story. Either way, you can go into a story mission with a rookie hero you’ve recruited at the nearby tavern, or indeed without any of the original characters whatsoever. Depending on whether you’ve chosen perma-death or not they will either be gone completely, or they’ll be waiting for you to buy them back from a nearby city. See, even the initial four champions that you get can die. The way that Fort Triumph handles its cast of four characters is…strange. You might have noticed that I haven’t mentioned the names of these daring adventurers.

Review code provided free of charge by the publisher The four heroes are quite likeable too, in a very basic way since they have all the depth of a drop of snail pee. Without any voice acting not every joke lands, but there were a few lines that made chuckle, and as a fan of Terry Pratchett I have a soft sort for absurdism fantasy. Meanwhile, the Paladin is overly naive and fights for truth and justice and all that, and is having a bit of a debate about whether maths is acceptable since Paladins are taught that numbers are a terrible thing.

The Mage, for example, is way to academic and would do anything in the name of gathering data, plus she’s maybe a bit too happy to Channel her power. To make itself stand out a bit though, Fort Triumph goes for absurdism fantasy and a bright, cartoony visual style that reminds me of the Warcraft games. The story is based upon some pretty typical fantasy and RPG archetypes with a group of four heroes (A Mage, a Paladin, a Rogue and a Berserker) trying to find some work. So let’s shine a light on it and see if its worth playing.

Alongside this, there is also a setting which activates perma-death conversely I avoided this because I like to enjoy my games, not struggle with them.Do you like the idea of XCOM? But don’t like how it basically revels in torturing your very soul until it turns you into a blubbering wreck of a human being? Then Fort Triumph might be for you! After spending a few years in Early Access on Steam, Fort Triumph has finally got its full release to very little fanfare. This adds an extra element of challenge to the game and each level will feel unique and require you to adapt your playstyle and go into it with a totally different approach. The various battlefields themselves are all procedurally generated so you can’t simply perfect one level and move on. On the flip side of this, it could also become your demise, as you scarper behind a tree and a pesky enemy decides to turn lumberjack and knock the tree down or you can equally kick enemies into rocks to damage them. The entire environment has the potential to become a weapon that you can add to your arsenal. Your turn starts in Fort Triumph with you having a certain amount of action points that you can spend with each turn, and you must use these points as efficiently as you can to gain the advantage over the opposing goblins, spiders and other creatures.
