John Bedford (Modojo): Block Fortress certainly isn't the first game to take Minecraft as its base inspiration, but as long as a title can deliver something genuinely refreshing alongside the classic sandbox gameplay, we think it's fair to say that Mojang has created a genre for other developers to work in. In this instance, that means combining tower-defense gameplay with sandbox construction - and a little slice of first-person shooting action on the side.

John Bedford (Modojo): Block Fortress, the blockbuster hybrid game that combines tower-defense with Minecraft world-building and a splash of first-person shooter action, has just been updated. To mark the occasion, the developers at Foursaken Media have also temporarily reduced the price of the game to $0.99, making it even easier to get stuck into this strange but addictive blend of genres.
Touch Arcade: There's been a lot of talk lately about Block Fortress [$1.99] and for good reason. Rare have we ever witnessed a game that manages to combine tower-defense, first-person shooters and creative sandboxing genres all in one game. Foursaken Media's Block Fortress not only successfully accomplishes such a feat, but manages to do it in such a way that truly makes its sum greater than its (individual genre) parts. There's a lot of love about Block Fortress, making it a game that really needs to be checked out.
