What players say
A real hidden gem of a game, super fun and simple little game at a good price. Played it like 13 years ago and still fondly remember it.
My Experience When I first saw Fortix, I said to myself: "Hey, Jezzball with a theme!" However, it's both more and less than its inspiration. Instead of balls, however, you're interrupted by dragons. And Instead of clicking and having a line drawn straight across the play field (as in Jezzball), you create the size of the captured areas yourself by moving your character from a top-down perspective.

A really fun and unique game that combines aspects and themes of tower defense, bullet hell, strategy, and arcade style gameplay together. A super simple concept to get into that is a ton of fun to experience.
