    Despite a few structural flaws, Fortress is a fun way to kill little chunks of time.

    A very well executed game. Gameplay is tight, and the overall experience is a good one. However, the game is just too short.

    It’s a cute and solidly built game whose only downfall is that it may not appease a long-term appetite for many gamers.

    Fun in spurts, but there's no way you'll play it for months on end. [Winter 2001, p.51]

    The game is missing so many gameplay necessities that it's difficult to recommend the game beyond the "borrow from a friend" level.
  6. GameSpy

    Although this game is influenced by two outstanding titles, the end result isn't so hot.
  7. All Game Guide

    Little more than a convoluted, poorly executed variation on "Tetris."
