Fortified

Ever wanted to fight off a Martian invasion with a jetpack and a shotgun while building laser turrets? That’s exactly what Fortified serves up a wild mashup of third person shooting, tower defense, and real time strategy set in a stylized 1950s America under alien attack. Developed by Clapfoot, this game throws you into the shoes of four larger than life heroes: a high flying heroine, a space cowboy, a slick secret agent, and a grizzled Marine captain. Each brings their own flavor to the fight, and together, they’re humanity’s last hope.

What makes Fortified stand out is how it blends action and strategy. You can dive straight into the chaos, guns blazing, or step back and plan your defenses setting up turrets, barricades, and other gadgets to turn the battlefield into a death trap for those clanky Martian robots. It’s not as deep as a hardcore strategy title, but the tower building side of things is satisfying and packed with options. The art style is a love letter to retro sci fi think vintage comic books meets '80s neon and sleek modern visuals. And if you’re a fan of classic sci fi, you’ll spot plenty of nods to iconic books and movies from the era. It’s chaotic, campy, and a whole lot of fun.
