Our take on Snow Fortress
The focus on fort construction and snowball combat limits the strategic scope compared with broader strategy games. Separate modes add variety, but the central play remains tied to building, defending, and attacking forts.
What is Snow Fortress?
Snow Fortress is a VR game about constructing and defending snow forts.
Across 20 unique levels, players build defenses, destroy an opponent’s fort with snowballs or a slingshot, and unlock shields and repair tools. Survival Mode adds waves of attacking snowmen while players maintain their fort. Fortress Mode presents a bird’s-eye view for designing a fortress and placing defenders in its towers. Online multiplayer supports cooperative and competitive play, and global leaderboards provide rankings. The game supports Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets with motion controllers. bHaptics devices can provide physical feedback for snowball impacts. It is also available at listed VR arcades.
