Forts
Forts is a physics-based RTS where foes design and build custom bases, arm them to the teeth and blast their opponent's creations to rubble.
What it feels like
Steam tags include 'Memes' and 'Funny', suggesting the game embraces lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek fun around fort destruction.
What it's about
Military bases, weapons, and fortifications form the thematic backdrop, though treated with more levity than grim realism.
How it plays
Core gameplay revolves around designing and building custom bases from scratch with no predetermined structure, letting creativity fully drive fortress construction. Physics simulation is central to both the destruction of opponent structures and the stability of your own creations, making ragdoll and momentum core to the experience. Real-time strategy with resource management and base planning is the overarching structure, though simplified compared to traditional RTS games.
How it looks and sounds
Physics-based fort destruction inherently uses a 2D side-on perspective to show gravity, structural collapse, and trajectory arcs. Steam tags reference 'Pixel Graphics' and 'Retro', indicating a pixel-art aesthetic, though not the dominant visual identity.
How it's structured
Core mode is real-time competitive play where two opponents directly destroy each other's creations until one wins. Combat takes place in bounded arenas where two bases face off directly rather than across a traversable world. Single-player campaigns and skirmishes against AI are available but secondary to the competitive multiplayer focus.
