These will generally grant your units some kind of bonus, increase your resource generation, produce more defenders if the city is attacked, and so on.įort Triumph’s campaign will start you with a party of three adventurers - Mage, Paladin, Archer - and your first objective will be to meet the Barbarian. As for buildings, you can construct up to one per turn, and space is limited so you can’t gain everything.
It can be hard to effectively level up all of them. You can maintain up to three parties, but this is a risk, as the encounters on the world map won’t respawn. Claiming a city lets you spend the resources you’ve accumulated on buildings, upgrades, and new heroes or parties. Ultimately, it serves as a means of getting into more fights and accumulating experience before throwing your parties at the enemy team, who is doing exactly the same.īolstering this are the cities and “farms” you’ll find. Some grant you items or resources, others are battles with treasure stashed behind them. Parties have a set amount of movement per turn, which you can use to traverse across the map and interact with the objects you’ll find there. There were other factors to that though, like the story we’ll get to that.īetween battles, you’ll be presented with a map that’s lifted almost directly from Heroes of Might and Magic 3. In practice, I couldn’t help but feel like my characters were becoming a homogenous blob. In theory, this keeps your characters varied in between playthroughs or squads. Choosing a new ability will give you a choice out of three, with the order in which skills appear being random (and occasionally cross-class skills being an option). These skill points can be spent either learning new abilities, or upgrading the existing ones. They play largely to their archetypes, gaining skill points as you level up. Throughout the course of a game, you’ll build a party from any combination of four character classes: Mage, Paladin, Archer, and Barbarian. "Cover is now a weapon that can be turned against you, so hiding behind a pillar will usually see it falling on you for huge damage instead." This also makes sense, given that it was one of the key features of the original Kickstarter. It’s a pretty neat idea, and definitely a good way of differentiating Fort Triumph from the crowd. As such, I tended to play fast and direct, setting up chain stuns by pinballing objects between each other and controlling the field of battle.
Cover is now a weapon that can be turned against you, so hiding behind a pillar will usually see it falling on you for huge damage instead. This definitely makes for a less defensive approach to battles than XCOM. This quickly becomes the best way to manage enemies and keep them from overwhelming you. If an object or unit gets moved by these and strikes something else, it’ll do damage and stun them for the next turn, making them unable to use abilities. In Fort Triumph, every character has at least one “physics” ability that can directly interact with objects, whether they be units or cover.

Much like XCOM, standing next to objects of various heights can give either half or full cover from attacks in that direction, making you tougher to hit or damage. The physics are the most unique draw to Fort Triumph’s battles. until all your characters have expended their action points, then your turn is over and the enemy moves.
Most abilities and attacks will cost two to use, barring a few exceptions. Moving will cost one point up to your range, but you can spend more to move further. Each character gets three action points which can be used in any order and combination. You’re presented with a grid-based field to which your party of heroes are deployed, then take turns moving your armies. Tactical battles are the heart of Fort Triumph. "But when all was said and done, I just found myself completely unable to particularly care for.
