FortressCraft : Chapter 1

There used to be life here.

I literally cannot imagine how many hours I put into FortressCraft back on the Xbox 360, probably one of the most nostalgic games for me. 2011-2012 I basically lived in the basement, I had so much fun and the creative workshop options were the best, and then the soundtrack while repetitive was always enjoyable to listen to. I only stumbled across this game when I was feeling nostalgic and googled "FortressCraft" on YouTube and I saw the Steam trailer from a year ago, so I immediately bought the game and loaded it up and all the memories came flooding back. It was kind of funny feeling the muscle memory of controller controls coming back. Nostalgia aside, it would be cool if the game got bug fixes and new additions versus being the same as the Xbox version. There are a few bugs I don't remember happening on the Xbox version as well, sometimes light fixture textures won't load, if you have 2 different coloured lights they will only appear as 1 colour, and I had some issue with custom blocks rotating themselves after they've been placed. I get that it's an old game but some other items like doors, more block varieties would be nice.

I am so happy to be able to play this again!!!!

I first played this game on Xbox 360. At the time it was released before the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft and was one of the first Minecraft like sandbox games on 360. I probably put over 100 hours on it on 360 and had countless fun memories playing. I had no idea they ported the game to steam recently until a random search. Upon playing, they did a really good job at making it Keyboard and Mouse friendly. The game runs as smoothly as it did on 360. As for the content of the game, if you like playing creative mode on Minecraft, then you would like this game. As for the soundtrack, its a top 5 video game soundtrack of all time in my opinion. Hearing any of the songs is an instant blast of nostalgia and sets a whole different mood when playing this game. Overall, the game is targeted at the small community left that still has a place for this game in their heart, but if you're someone who's never played it and enjoys that creative building game play, I highly recommend you play this game.

Finally able to play this game after many years of not being able to on my old XBOX 360. Very solid port! This game was the first of its kind on the Xbox LIVE Indie Game Marketplace, and it's been a staple of the platform since then. Long live the days of playing FortressCraft, CastleMiner, etc while waiting for the actual Minecraft to come out on Xbox, haha. :)

A classic from the 360!

I used to play this game younger and I loved it just the way you can build everything and literally the Nostalgia from playing it again was fantastic.

This game is great for the nostalgia if you played it back in the 360 days, but other than that, I would not recommend you buy this in 2025. Although this game will always have a fond place in my memory, it has not aged all that well. Also, there have been minor updates since the 360 games, but in general, this is the SAME game as i played in 2011 (quite literally feels identical). Development seems to have stopped as there had not been an update in 3 years so as the game stands, I would recommend a more modern voxel building game.
