Fortix is strategy arcade game where the goal is to help the lone Fortix warrior reclaim Fortiana from the evil invading forces. This task is not done with swords or magic or even firepower; it's done by slowly retaking the land, which the warrior performs by walking on it.
Okay, so it's not that simple. The game adopts the gameplay from the 1981 arcade game Qix where the object was to take over as much of the game playing field as possible by drawing shapes. The same concept applies here with a warrior that draws shapes across the playing field by walking.
The early '80s was a revolutionary time for gaming yet not every classic from that era is as celebrated as it should be. Taito's Qix is an often imitated arcade gem so let's take a look at why it's such a legendary game.
Trendy Gamers: Ever play Qix? It’s an 80′s arcade game released by Taito. The object of the game is to fence off a majority of the field of play without being hit by the qix itself, a creature that is basically just a coloured line. If that sounds stupid to you then you obviously haven’t played Qix because it’s awesome and you’re stupid because anyone who has ever played Qix love it and would never think that it sounds stupid.
Today, the Hungarian development team “Nemesys Games” announces their critically acclaimed indie hit “Fortix 2” will be released next week on PC via digital distribution (Steam).
