FortressCraft : Chapter 1

Words cannot describe how nostalgic I am for this game. I used to play this all the time on Xbox Live, I remember everything despite not playing it for 10+ years. I'm very happy to see it on Steam. The game takes a bit to get used to, especially if you're used to Minecraft voxel controls (left/right click are "swapped"). Not everything is unlocked initially, different features are locked behind "relics" that can be found in the world using an audio cue that gets higher in pitch the closer you are to any one. Some other keyboard controls are not obvious, such as using the arrow keys to browse the block selection and page up/down to change tabs within that menu. Using a controller is preferred, given that the game was designed with it in mind. There is an in-game developer console that can be accessed with right shift. You can enter "noclip" once all relics have been found, allowing you to free roam around the world. The console also grants access to split screen and other technical features. This is also where you can turn off the spider creature using the "togglespider" command. Steam Deck and Linux support is still in progress, I have asked the developers over Discord and they mentioned that they were discussing it recently. As of now, using no beta with Proton GE will allow you to enter the menu without crashing. However, loading into a world will freeze the game completely. Check the latest news in regards to this as this may be fixed in the future. I enjoyed playing this game alone, but I'd imagine it'd be better with friends. Perhaps Steam's remote play together feature could come to this game? I also wish there was cloud save, achievements, and generally better Steam support. Given that the devs are active, I have hope that this little game I grew up with will eventually grow itself. Maybe I'm just nostalgic for it, but I feel as though there's potential. I'm happy to play it again, at least.

This game is as every bit fun to play than i remember from playing the Xbox 360 version years ago, Weather your searching for relics or creating custom blocks, there are endless possibilities. Definitely a game to sit down and relax to.

creative block game from xbox 360 indie game store. definitely worth checking out if you like building whether its small pixel art or giant castles. bonus points for the cute blocks in the game.

If you liked this game on XBLIG, you will love this game here. Good: Direct port! It looks, runs, and plays just as you remember. Low end friendly! Even on a potato like mine, I can run this smoothly and comfortably, and I've got integrated graphics by Intel. Gamepad control feels great! Mouse and keyboard control feels great! Quality of life enhancements! Go even further beyond the 360 limits, with Anti-Aliasing, Post Processing, and further draw distance. Having other games by ProjectorGames rewards you with cosmetic items! Meh: Changing Anti-Aliasing, and Post Processing requires a restart due to a bug. I would like to rebind my controls. With all the extra buttons a keyboard has to offer, it would be nice to have a better inventory exclusive to PC. I still remember getting a copy of FortressCraft Evolved, and building for hours, then kind of missing the 360 version. I friended the dev, DjArcas at the time, and looking back, I'm surprised how patient he was with me, as I was an annoying little kid. I remember asking him if he was going to bring Chapter 1 to Steam, and he replied to that by telling me that he doesn't want to go back to XNA, since it was a nightmare to deal with, and Unity proved to be a lot more powerful, and useful. I thought at the time that this meant it was never coming, and after pestering him about it for a bit longer, since I wasn't the most socially experienced, I decided to bring the pestering to an end and accept that it wasn't coming, or so I thought. When I found out that it released a little over a month ago on Steam, I was ecstatic. An old wish granted by a combination of pure luck, and an anniversary. I could never be happier, now that the game has been immortalized on PC. Thank you, DjArcas, both for putting up with my annoying kid self, and for bringing this nostalgic game back for another run. For the memories of the past, and for future memories you can make with friends on Steam, definitely add this amazing port to your collection.

pretty good

the game feels like i'm playing on Xbox 360 again its amazing! thank you. However there is a bug where i am trying to make a door in the workshop and every time i go to use the door it crashes my whole game and it dosent let me use it at all can this bug be fixed? everything else in the game works perfectly fine.

When I first played this game life was way more simple. Go to school then go home and vibe out on xbox 360 with random people on the interweb. This remastered version of fortress is just like the original. If you played this back in the day I 100% recommend you to get it now.

Like omfg THANK YOU!!!!! so damn much. i missed the og fortresscraft and wish somebody told me it came to steam earlier. having fun being back in and trying to relearn everything like custom blocks selecting and setting!. cant wait to make my old factory again like on 360!!!
