Fort Triumph looks a hell of a lot of fun. Combining turn-based tactics with some fantasy worlds and the consideration that permadeath is always on the horizon – all with a bit of fun thrown in for good measure – it could well appeal to many.
Available to purchase and download right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Fort Triumph from CookieByte Entertainment has happily been delivering its humour-infused turn-based tactics to Steam for a year or so already, but now it’s time for console players to get the opportunity to take in the same weird world.
It comes to console in collaboration with All in! Games, providing a rather unique take on the usual tactical elements which could happily fry your brain. Described as part XCOM and part Heroes of Might and Magic III, it’ll have you deciding for yourself exactly what type of challenge you are in need of. It’ll let you explore worlds, build towns, collect items, improve heroes and – best of all – utilise a variety of physics in order to influence your surroundings.
With both a story mode and skirmish present, it seems like both angles are covered in regards length of play too and so whether you are looking for the most grand of adventures, or a little time-killer, Fort Triumph could well suffice.
The key features sit at…
- ● Utilize your surroundings: Every tree or boulder is a potential weapon in battle.
- ● Strategize: Choose between four factions and four classes. Build your base, gather resources and teach your characters new skills!
- ● Grow your heroes: Gain traits and cross-class skills to make your heroes unique every time you play!
- ● Explore procedurally generated maps: Fort Triumph features flexible world maps with variable locations and events. Each battle calls for a new plan.
- ● Turn up the volume: Marco Valerio Antonini, an award-winning composer, created the original in-game music.
We’ll have a full review of how Fort Triumph plays out on Xbox Series X|S for you in the days ahead. If you’re already sold on the premise though – I mean, humour, tactics, fantasy most certainly works for us – just get yourself over to the Xbox Store, the PlayStation Store or the Nintendo eShop. It’s also on Steam, obviously.
