[h1][b]FortressCraft Evolved[/b][/h1] [h3][b]Time Played:[/b][/h3] 41 Minutes (Before idling for cards, though “played” is a bit of a misnomer...) [h3][b]Last Played:[/b][/h3] 9th of September, 2026 [hr] Yeah: this absolutely did not break the unfavourability streak... [h3][b]Yay:[/b][/h3] + Delight was had when the example conveyor for the tutorial stated blopping out tiny cubes of coal. + I liked how they had skins modelled after both Samus, and Optimus Prime (Rest in Peace, Peter Cullen.), even if you can't really see these in-game. + The tutorial area was randomly-beset by harmless, roving Cyan Slime beings. [h3][b]Meh:[/b][/h3] ~ Nothing. [h3][b]Nay:[/b][/h3] - No audio sliders existed in an obvious location. - Way too many keys are bound to way too many things, requiring you to reach awkwardly about the keyboard... - ...and, since no in-game menu for resetting these exists, if you find out you accidentally, say, bound “Build Gun” to the same key as “Holo...thing...analyser...”, you need to fully-quit out, then relaunch it. - The game also only displays the default keybind for each action on in-game tooltips. - Even with the tutorials, the game was immediately-bewildering to me. - The tutorial never teaches you how to craft, and the required Tin + Copper nearby does not seem to be close enough to set up any way to mine, then transport it. - Trying to use the build gun on a large rock will spam you with the prompt to push shift, adding to the...chintzy feeling of trying to play this. - If these were in the Handbook, then you don't pause the game while that's open, leading me to become either a sitting duck to hostiles, or start freezing to death from it turning night while poring the contents over. - The wreck of your ship was also floating several metres above the crater for me. - Many things seem to be buried in menus, that need others to access. - Many skins are locked, even if you have all the DLC, and those outright require you to join the Patreon, and buy other games (The first rated “Mostly-Negative”, and second “Mixed”), making these undesirable surprise DLC. - No skin based on Ireland is present in-game either. - The world was about as bleak, and joyless as I've seen in something of this sort, which only amplified the negative aspects. - The entire thing was very Xbox Live Indie Games-Era for me, which is to say it felt very...unrefined to me. - Case in/and point, I somehow opened what seemed to be a Developer Console, that slowed the frame-rate to a crawl, and required I force-stop the game in Steam to re-launch it. - Framerate hitching occurred in the intro cutscene. - Lastly, for a quirk this seems to have with Steam, I noted the “Uploading to Cloud” status for the save-game kept going from 97% to 100%, then back down. This is the only game that's done such a thing. - Oh never mind: tried to delete the world before idling for cards, and the program stopped responding, necessitating force-closing it in task manager. - On re-entering the world accidentally, all the base stuff was completely-gone... - ...and I realised no “Quit to Title” button existed, only to Desktop. - Seeing as how I had nothing else to do, but explore the landmark-and-resource devoid waste that was now my world, I also noticed only the “Multiplayer”, and “Quit” buttons on the UI have audio. - I also found no way to see previously-researched items. - No idea is had if this was an inherent property of the game, or a result of my world becoming a buggy purgatory, but none of the blocks I mined dropped themselves. - A moustache I'm pretty sure was a non-removable-in-game DLC also adorned both of the robots you get...if the Spider bot appearing wasn't another partially-deleted world bug. [hr] [h3][b]Verdict:[/b][/h3] Maybe this was my fault for expecting to be hooked into a multi-hundred-hour factory odyssey, however what awaited within was what I deemed to be an oppressively-atmosphered, impenetrable, unstable jank-fest that was both seemingly held-together as loose scraps with duct-tape, and had just as much playability as Cube Creator X did to me. I've no idea how a game released just 11 years ago not only didn't include a keybind menu in-game, but felt like it came out 10 years before it did, but I'm nonetheless saddened to report this was not something I was able to even start enjoying. Originally, this was saved from the Bio-Hazard bin by the delight had at the coal-blopping machine, but on accidentally loading back into my world, and realising just how seemingly-unfinished this was, I can now only lament that the coal-blopper was not in a playable game. This is, simply-put, almost dust where structural integrity is concerned. Hopefully FortressCraft Phoenix will be the game I wanted this to be. [h3][b]Placed in:[/b][/h3] 6: Traumatically-Toxic.
