Xbox One Critic Reviews

All in all, I’m pretty impressed with Fortified. It has very few shortcomings, most notably the repetitive music and lack of modes, but at $14.99 it gives a very fun, challenging, multiplayer experience for Xbox One and PC players alike.

A very fun, frantic and enjoyable experience, made all the better with a team of up to 4 players destroying everything that the golden age of Pulp sci-fi can throw at you. With its smooth gameplay, comic book cutscenes and pleasing graphics, Fortified will keep you coming back time and time again, and gives you plenty of game for your money.

Fortified marries multiple different genres while maintaining consistent waves of challenging fun in a cohesive experience. The game is best when played as part of a team, although the omission of split-screen co-op is a disappointment, and the lack of a health bar is a bit frustrating.

Fortified may not be a sprawling, epic experience — but it’s a well-made game with mechanics that stand up to extended play. With great art design to boot, it’s a solid purchase for anyone looking for a mix of action and strategy, or their next co-op staple.

Fortified is a fun multiplayer romp full of 50s sci-fi camp. Bring some friends as this tower defense shooter can be difficult to tackle solo.

Fortified is a cool game that gets a lot more right than it does wrong. I wish it supported local multiplayer in some form as solo play just doesn't pan out, but if you've got some buddies that want to take on a virtual Martian army, this is a great way to do it.

A nice mix of TPS action and tower defense strategy with a classical 50s sci-fi setting. Its 4 players online co-op and depth of characters customization make it a worthy buy if you have people to play with.

The game play is not going to blow anyone away, but it was interesting enough to keep me entertained for long enough to get my money’s worth out of it.

Fortified is by no means perfect, as it has a few quirks that really get under my skin. However, when it's time to lock and load against the Martians it's a challenging little game that tests my strategic mind just as much as my trigger finger.

Fortified marries several genres successfully, but its diverse arsenal can't quite make up for a lack of mission variety.
