Our take on Infested Fortress
Digging deeper is the defining loop: it brings in more materials for the fortress while also attracting more dangerous monsters to attack it.
What is Infested Fortress?
Infested Fortress is a roguelike about digging into a mountain to gather resources and build a fortress.
As excavation goes deeper, stronger monster threats are drawn to the settlement. Players manage the population by providing food and suitable living conditions, while monitoring troop morale and satisfaction. Materials can be refined into equipment, and heroes can be trained to gain skills. When monsters attack, combat takes place in turn-based battles where tactical decisions determine the outcome. The loop combines resource gathering, fortress construction, population management, crafting, training, and defense against enemies attracted by continued excavation.
