Fort Triumph Review: A Smart, Well-Executed Genre Blend

Fort Triumph deftly blends the genres of turn-based tactics and strategy, neatly wrapping them up in a masterfully deconstructed fantasy package.

Exiting Steam Early Access after two years of player feedback and iteration is Fort Triumph, a turn-based strategy-tactical RPG hybrid with a lot of personality and robust, engaging gameplay. The ambitious title was developed by CookieByte Entertainment, a small Tel Aviv studio who crowdfunded the project on Kickstarter. Its roots run deep in the Dungeons & Dragons Western RPG tradition, relying on the genre's well-trodden themes, faces, and design conceits, while its simple, refined art style rests between that of its digital cousins World of Warcraft and League of Legends. Despite its familiar comforts, the game boasts a disarmingly sharp sense of humor and self-awareness, and its multiple campaigns provide more replayability than its $25 price tag lets on.

[...]

Aside from those minor complaints, CookieByte Entertainment has built a rock-solid composite of turn-based strategy and tactics gameplay, and the end result is easily on-par with the XCOM franchise and Obsidian Entertainment's best modern efforts. Its combat is smart and entertaining, its story and humor are exemplary, and most of what little it currently lacks or could improve upon will likely be ironed out post-launch, as the game has been well-supported and player-focused since its early access development period began. Fort Triumph is worthy of any PC player's time, especially lovers (or even haters) of the fantasy RPG genre.
