Our take on Roaming Fortress
The defining detail is the moving stronghold: the entire fortress is carried on the back of a mythical Burdenbeast while its commanders fight to reclaim the kingdom.
What is Roaming Fortress?
Roaming Fortress combines action, strategy, and defensive gameplay around a mobile fortress carried by a massive Burdenbeast.
Players command the surviving Manatalopian Knights as they attempt to reclaim their destroyed kingdom from the Goblin Horde. The game presents repeated battles against waves of distinct enemies, with fortress upgrades supporting the campaign.
