Fortress Craft: Video Review

Sm1tty Sm1t reviews the best-selling Xbox Live Indie Game of all-time! Fortress Craft Chapter 1 puts a unique spin on the “crafting genre”. If the player goes into the game knowing what to expect, they will not be disappointed. But the game is only as fun as the player’s imagination.

"Fortress Craft Chapter 1 puts a unique spin on the “crafting genre” "

lol, just no. Game is a 3/5 at most. It has so many bugs and errors and as it stands RIGHT NOW it is a Minecraft/infaminer clone. Again this is a RIGHT NOW kind of deal as he has promised to add stuff in future chapter, but I wait to see if he will live up to that.

Sm1ttySm1t4888d ago

I cant disagree ... but I base my reviews upon expectations I have. It's 100% subjective, sure, but most reviews are.

The game has issues that can't be ignored, but the overall "fun factor" coupled with my own expectations easily earn the "best selling XBLIG of all time" title. As he adds content, however, I will become a bit more refined in my reviews.

wwm0nkey4888d ago

I am waiting for Chapter 4 to see what all is done by then.

They also need to get rid of keemstar.

Im looking forward to Avtar Legends to hit XBLIG so all of you guys can try that out, been testing it for a year and that has better than XBLA quality all over it :D

SixZeroFour4887d ago

@wwm0nkey - i saw the trailer for that awhile back...looked real good, and just checked up on the latest vid right now, and looks like your featured in it lol

i like most of the indie and arcade games that feature the avatar...i dont know what it is, but i just love playing as our own person avatars

Lamarthedancer4887d ago

I hope Notch releases Minecraft on consoles soon, it would make this game completely pointless.

DJ Keemstar's face would be priceless :)

dragonelite4887d ago

dont know probably depends who is making progress faster. I dont care if notch has created the franchise but if this guy can pump out better version faster then notch can i will support this guy and vice versa.

SixZeroFour4887d ago

how would it be priceless when hes already gotten his percentage of the 125k copies sold?

agentxk4887d ago

Wow, when we reviewed it we said it was less than average. Did they make improvements?

Sm1ttySm1t4887d ago

Honestly, I dont think they did. However, my expectations were low and I knew what to expect. It exceeded my personal expectations, which is why I awarded it a 5/5.

Plus "Best selling XBLIG ever" is impressive.

agentxk4887d ago

I'll agree, it is. The game has all the pieces to be really good. I just wish it was more than just building. Also after I build some really great stuff, my map died.. That hurt.

SixZeroFour4887d ago

chapter 1 IS being supported with 8 more blocks and bugs being updated when patch passes peer review, but if one person fails it for whatever reason, then no one gets the patch that could fix some bugs even if its not all of them, which is why peer review rules should be kinda fixed

chapter 2 crafting seems like itll be a good one...they are in the works of modeling, animating and coding for carts, tracks, and even piping

HK64887d ago (Edited 4887d ago )

I would like to personally inform everybody commenting here that the patch was ready (and as far as we could see, 100% bug free) last week but it failed peer review (potentially sabotage by a competing developer) so it got delayed and since then the changes made have led to the discovery of additional problems. The patch (including many new blocks and performance enhancements) can be expected hopefully in the next few days.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5217d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905217d ago (Edited 5217d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5217d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5217d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495217d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5217d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5217d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
