Fort Triumph - Medievel X-Com inspired kickstarter game

Boraell

While I'm aware people have been burned by crowdfunding (including me) I feel its worth putting a shot out for Fort Triumph (Fort Triumph is a tactical RPG featuring interactive environments and epic quests in a world on the brink of destruction). It's promising both in its gameplay (there's a demo available that can be downloaded independently of via steam) and in the developers openness and engagement with backers.

Have a look, see what you think and, if its your cup of tea, maybe back it! 3 days to go to get 9k for it to be fully funded!

It looks promising enough.

I googled it too . It looks like it could be fun. The amount is not a lot they may make it in time.

Cheers for posting the link, forgot that part! From what I've played of the demo it is fun, just watch that fireball spell while in the wooden village...

Eh, it's like XCOM but like the new ones. With enemies spawning just out of sight, or even worse, within sight where nothing was before. The second mission or so tells me to survive for six turns, but i have no idea where the enemy is coming from, so the whole premise of positioning my heroes correctly is gone. And flair wise - i just secured the village, which has only one entry. How can there be more goblins inside?

I'm also not convinced that you can do all that cool stuff that you do in the tutorial all that often in actual missions. I couldn't do any of it in the 2-3 mission i played, despite immediately seeing like 5 possible additional ways to kill the goblins in the tutorial.

At least they don't reposition when they discover you, thats probably the worst thing the new XCOM do.

If you like the new XCOM games, this is probably a lot of fun. If you like the *old* XCOM games, stay away from it. If you like both, take your pick.
