That also means that these characters you’ve been building for hours can be lost, so managing your teams to have the experience spread out tends to be important-or was for me towards the middle to end of the campaign.įort Triumph has a good art style, but its graphics, especially in the turn-based combat, aren’t that exciting.
#Fort triumph preview upgrade#
The fantasy theme and role-playing elements mean that character can get new abilities, and even upgrade their existing abilities after they hit a certain experience of level threshold. There are lots of encounters, such as bands of rogue enemies who are sometimes guarding powerful treasures, or bits of magic or coin. Your party is able to travel a certain distance per day, and when your day (turn) is over, your enemies will have a go at it. This is done in a Heroes of Might and Magic style. With a properly upgraded fort, you can eventually have multiple roaming bands doing your bidding, and fighting your enemies.Įxploring the overworld is another huge part of Fort Triumph. You can build certain structures, and upgrade them, to bestow abilities to your characters, or enhance the rate in which you earn one of the three currencies-money, magic, and renown. Screenshot: Fort Triumphįort management is important in Fort Triumph. And dead means dead-permadeath is very possible, and a poorly run encounter may find you recruiting a new hero back at your fort. A tree may fall in the wrong direction, or a rock may be kicked off from another enemy that was set into motion, causing a chain reaction that harms a hapless teammate. Sometimes, these physics attacks can make things chaotic, and even detrimental to your own squad. Adding on magical debuffs can create some nasty synergy that can make some fights end very quickly in your favor. This can make interesting situations in which enemies can be crushed by trees, or pushed into several other enemies, creating a domino effect of damage and stunning. Many abilities in Fort Triumph allows your character to push other characters, or even objects, over. Where Fort Triumph is really interesting, is its implementation of physics-based reactions to certain abilities and attacks.
You have a hit percentage when taking aim, and there is a decent mixture of ranged and melee abilities, though Fort Triumph seems to favor ranged attacks over melee in a lot of encounters. There are several different types of cover-low cover, high cover, and even different fortifications of cover.
I keep saying it, but if you’ve played X-COM, you’ll feel right at home with Fort Triumph. The turn-based combat in Fort Triumph is what you’ll be spending most of your time doing, and it’s pretty great. Add in world exploration and base-building, and Fort Triumph manages to pull away from the turn-based tactics genre, even before you add on its fantasy and role-playing elements. But what Fort Triumph is serious about is its gameplay, which is what you would expect from turn-based tactics game-with a few interesting physics-based twists. Its story is told this way throughout the campaign mode. Its world is inhabited by whimsical bloodthirsty characters, and a mixture of dark and silly humor. The first thing you’ll notice is that Fort Triumph doesn’t take itself seriously. It turns out that X-COM sensibilities and fantasy are a pretty great combination. That includes Fort Triumph, a fantasy turn-based tactics game with an exploration mechanic that is reminiscent to Heroes of Might and Magic. This isn’t a bad thing-tactics and strategy games can be extremely rewarding, and I’m gracious to be able to review some good ones. There’s a new, excellent X-COM out, and I’m working my way through another title under embargo that utilizes turn-based combat. I feel like I’ve been playing a lot of turn-based tactics and strategy games lately.
