What players say

Very nice game. Good variety of levels and enemies with increasing difficulty/complexity. The boss level is challenging but fun. Fortix 2 includes all Fortix 1 levels as an unlockable bonus, which is very nice. It would be better if unlocked areas were traversible rather than just the available line, but I see how this would break some gameplay scenarios so it's fine I guess. The developers did well on this one.

PROS - Quality graphics style and illustration - Very cheap at 2$ CONS - Boring REVIEW Original gameplay, and certeinly so cheap that price is not an issue, but it remains too simple to be worth the time. The main problem is that the more you advance in missions, the more the single tactic will be to inch forward towards your objective and any tactic or strategy becomes obsolete. Things will shoot at you and move...
