The Story of the Roaming Fortress

Long ago, the Kingdom of Manatalopia stretched far across the Sirenian Desert. Life in the empire was good, just, and beautiful… Without warning, a devastating force of legend, the Goblin Horde, marched on the Kingdom of Manatalopia. The barbaric Horde showed no mercy. The brave Manatalopian Knights took up arms to defend the vast empire, but the attack was too sudden, the Horde too powerful. At the hands of the merciless Horde, the empire was swiftly destroyed.

Driven into the borderlands of their once great empire, the surviving Manatalopian Knights devised an ambitious plan to retake the lost kingdom and mete out justice on the Horde by moving their remaining fortress onto the back of the mythical Burdenbeast. The result: the Roaming Fortress. So begins the campaigns of the Manatalopian Knights to reclaim the lost kingdom and drive the evil forces back from whence they came.

Seems ok. But well I only have to guess since the game crashes after the launch. can't click on anything !! few others complained about the same issue on the game's facebook page, But no word from the support.

Didn't get any help by posting on the support forum. I have all sort of games on my steam account and this is the first problematic one. Not a nice gift to myself on thanksgiving.

I like this tower defense game quite a bit. It has progression, different difficulty levels and a wide variety of enemies. There are plenty of options to defend your moving fortress tower, either automatic or manual firing.

The main problem I have with this game, is that when enemies come into melee range of your tower, when they die your fortress may stop moving. This is game breaking, because you cannot move forward to complete the mission, and thus you need to restart or retreat. This bug happens very often, probably 1 out of 3 times I got into a mission. It has happened every time in fact in the last mission I am stuck on, in the third map. It would be nice if they would fix it, but I doubt it, I don't see too much chatter in the community.

Other than that, when playing the game I do enjoy it. This is a nice change to the tower defense genre. 6/10 Because of bug.

If you’re a fan of tower defense games, you should definitely check out Roaming Fortress. It’s an interesting take on the genre that plays out very well. You can expect the following:

  • Excellent graphics
  • Decent Soundtrack
  • Solid Gameplay

The only thing I didn't like was how slow the game is initially. The first twelve levels are more of a tutorial and if you stray away from the tutorial like I did (upgraded archers first) you're be left grinding out a few levels to earn enough gold to unlock the other defenses for your roaming fortress.

This is a nice little time killer game that gets back to the good old days of Mario and the 2D world. You don't need to spent time leveling or building and the non-mmo status leaves you with the ability to really play when you want or have free minutes between the daily drag. If you want a game that has a minimal learning curve and can just be a relaxing 10 minute event this is the game for you.

BUY THIS GAME. 10/10. Excellent twist on the traditional stationery tower-defence. Instead, your mobile fortress, mounted on the back of a gargantuan creature is trying to push its way through hordes of enemies to reach the exit, in classic 2D side-scrolling style of yore. Select the squads that will man the towers of your fortress. The archer is great for long range but can't shoot enemies that get in your face. For that you need a short range spear squad. Later, unlock siege or magic squads that are better suited against armoured units or buildings. Play around until you have your ideal combination of squads, and upgrade with additional recruits, giving a faster rate of fire. Replay missions to earn valuable medals, which will allow you to unlock different fortresses, squads and beasts. After 2.5 hours I am hooked. Gonna be a long night...
