I remember getting block fortress way back when it was on mobile, and to this day, block fortress wars is my all time favorite mobile game. When I saw a new PC version of block fortress, I knew I had to get it.

If you are like me, you may be adverse to block games after the flood of minecraft clones back in the day, but I assure you, this game is unique and worth your time, so please give it a try.

First impressions were admittedly negative. I felt the controls were unintuitive for PC, and after the tutorial ended I didn't even know exactly what I was suppose to be doing, I kept wandering around the base trying to activate terminals to select a level or something. However, I eventually figured it out, and I got used to the controls, and the game is definitely just a way better version of the original game, and I'm super happy about that. It did feel too difficult, but I did see a balance patch was released so perhaps that is fixed now. My biggest recommendation would be to maybe just make like the level select menu something that can pop up by interacting with it at home base, or if that is already a thing then lead the player to that, because that would have cleared up a lot of initial frustration and confusion. Then for that little tutorial, after the player opens the menu at some sort of terminal, the robo guy could tell them they can also open the menu by pressing esc or whatever.

In terms of gameplay, maybe it's just because I'm still early in the game, but it does kinda feel like the game doesn't promote building big fancy fortresses in survival mode because resources are very finite, and everything is quite expensive. Besides that, I think the gameplay loop is very fun, and I like the system of upgrading something upgrades it for the whole planet.

Lastly, please please please make a block fortress wars 2, or even release a dlc for block fortress 2 with a wars game mode.
