It's not running for the game of the year, but it's fun to play and will bring you back to the golden times of gaming.

I had fun with Fortix 2, especially once I got past the midpoint of the game and the challenge ramped up. At its heart it's still a 1980s arcade game, and those games had a way of making relatively simple gameplay enjoyable. However, if those types of games aren't your thing you should probably pass on Fortix 2.

For a game priced at the low price of $9.99 I can't say I was expecting much but I was proven wrong by the Nemesys developers and their addicting game. A simple idea of land grab coupled with the upbeat music had me on the edge of my seat during some close calls with a cannonball just missing me as I reached my goal and captured the land.

Both a throwback and an innovation. It takes a formula pioneered decades ago, puts a fantasy story and theme over it, and perfects the concept with clever and challenging level design.

Still, for $10 US on Steam, Fortix 2 is a good 'un, definitely worth adding to the collection.

There isn't a wealth of game here, but what is here is thoroughly enjoyable. Fortix 2 proves that, 30 years later, the Qix formula remains fun.

For what it is, it's a very amusing game. It's an easy pick-up-and-drop game that's fun for all ages. Get it on sale on steam for a few bucks if you can. Well worth it!

This is a very old game idea that harkens back to the old 8-bit days when pixels had their own zip code and a mouse was a furry rodent. But Nemesys apparently extracted DNA from some prehistoric mosquito and brought the game back to life in the modern world, and it works even better now than it did in the age when people who weren't hillbillies wore mullets. Deus Ex this ain't, but it's a perfectly fun little puzzle game that's quick to play during a break and gets progressively more difficult and requires more planning as you advance. My biggest "complaint" is that I don't think it's priced reasonably. This is basically a (good) cell phone class game on a PC screen so its regular price should be the $2.50 that I paid for it on sale, instead of its regular $10 price tag.

Reminds me of Qix... This is a great little game with one major flaw: It doesn't record your personal high score on each level. Why this is absent is beyond me... It would add a lot of replay value.

when i saw a clip of this, i almost instantly bought it. luckily, i tried the demo first. it is really unfortunate how the great concept and style of the game is at least in my opinion destroyed by its controls. mouse is useless (should have really been clicking once on a target instead of dragging) and keyboard... well... one has to trace the exact shape of the border if one wants to move along it. you can't move inside what you've already conquered. how the developers came up with that stupid idea, i don't know. it makes keyboard controls unnecessarily clunky. thus: great concept and features but abysmal controls.
SummaryIn the next chapter crusader Fortix has to save the rest of the continent from an evil curse. On his journeys Fortix will be aided by his sister Floriana. Fortix 2 will be a “funtasy” game, where you have to conquer dozens of hostile wastelands, deserts, swamps, and convert to lush landscapes. Savage wolfs will be turned to peaceful lamb... Read More
