    Despite bugs that likely won’t be present in the game by the time it releases, I had an incredible amount of fun with The Fortress, as I was sucked in by the game’s great storytelling and art, and engaged by its unique approach to roguelike gameplay. However, the game’s poor balancing can unintentionally cheapen the experience, making the game’s brutal and unforgiving world a bit too easy to navigate.

    The Fortress offers a dark fantasy dungeon crawler that leans heavily into classic design sensibilities while embracing modern systems like procedural generation and choice-driven progression. Each run feels unique, with shifting layouts, unexpected encounters, and branching decisions that shape your story. Players must carefully weigh every action. From combat choices to alliances, survival is never guaranteed in this unforgiving, gothic world.
