Fortwars - Thrilling s&box Shooter & Building Experience by DarklandStudios

 

The old-school appeal of almost any first-person shooter could be found in a very simple question: is the game fun or not? If the fun factor was present, an FPS would become popular or even stand a chance to turn into a legendary shooter title. In the case of Fortwars by DarklandStudios, the same exact old-school sense of fun comes front and center, providing the game will have a massive appeal to all who want to run, gun, build, and have a good time! Check out the game's official playtest right here:

As you can immediately tell, the game offers frantic pacing where nothing stays quiet or still for more than a split second. In the game, team members need to get a hold of the "ball" and keep it for their team, while a counter keeps ticking down. Along with the combat mechanic, players are able to build forts and defend them, allowing for a completely different addition to the game's core loop. The same also enhances the experience way beyond the simple FPS element.

Fortwars was created on s&box, a game engine, and a gaming platform. The whole development team was inspired by the original Fortwars game mode on Garry's Mod. It was originally made by Darkspider, but later on, it was remade by Sportsfreak. At the same time, this version plans to use the s&box ecosystem to build something fresh and appealing on the old game's awesome foundation.
