Description

"This really isn't the same game that I originally purchased anymore. With all the changes that have been made over that duration the game is so much more fun

now that there are machines to alleviate almost every large build annoyance that used to exist. The FALCORs, thieves, excavators, drills etc.. all did so much for

automation it's almost hard to believe I ever did that stuff manually before."

A Whole New Survival Experience...

FortressCraft has continued to evolve, and now sits at 25 free Content Patches since leaving Early Access. This has included radical visual alterations, completely reworking the surface, along with a brand-new rendering system. On top of that, there has been an enormous amount of work to make the game more understandable and accessible for new players, with a new UI, new Tutorial, new Missions and a updated context-sensitive Handbook. The combination of these things should work towards making it feel like a fresh, new experience. Prepare for a new exploration and survival experience!

FortressCraft Evolved is a unique blend of Voxel Landscapes, Tower Defense, Crafting, Logistics, Exploration, Combat and Assembly lines. Players begin by crash-landing on a strange alien world, left with only a small handful of starting machines. Using hand-held scanners they must locate ore resources, place down Ore Extractors and Conveyors to automate the raw material back to the Smelter; take the fresh ingots through multi-machine assembly lines, followed by researching new technologies that help them explore thousands of meters below the planet's surface.

An advanced HoloBase allows players to keep an eye on their factory which they must defend against waves of alien attacks with multiple tiers of missile and energy turrets. To survive they must continue to develop new and unique power systems, from Solar Energy to Jet Turbines, culminating in crafting an Orbital Energy Transmitter, thousands of cubic meters in size, to beam power off-planet, and start the next phase of the game.

And all this runs on a custom engine with an enormous draw-distance, scaleable gameplay engine that is equally at home on high-end or low-end computers, and full multiplayer support!

This is one of those games that genuinely lets you play however you want, wherever you want. If you feel like taking things slow and grinding resources at a relaxed pace, you can do that. If you want to ramp production

I just can't get into the game. Every single gameplay element feels like it was abandoned at 80% completion. You keep encountering situations where you expect an improvement in the mechanics – but nothing happens. This

If I could give a mixed review I would as I enjoyed a lot of the time that I put in... But almost half of it was just me waiting for things to happen unfortunately. NOTE I ONLY PLAYED SOLO. The Pros? This is quite a fun

The game is just impossible to get into. Feels unfinished, controls are awful, everything feels unintuitive and confusing. Bought it on sale for 2 bucks and still feels like a brutal waste of money. Also the developer

Really a 50/50 review rather than a flat downvote. Done a few different playthroughs over the years of this, came back to see what the finished product looks like but honestly it feels unfinished. Lots of things still

For its age, the size of the team, and the simplicity of it, this game is probably one of the best factory builder games out there. The DLC's were worth it for me, I found fun in another 100+hours just doing the dlc
