Block Fortress Reviews

It really is a shame that the concepts behind this game are amazing and unparalleled by almost anything in the mobile game industry, but Foursaken media has ruined it by loot crates that take 3 hours to open, extensive paywalls, and excessive grinding just to level up slightly. It just gets more repetitive as you go on, because leveling up past level 3 is really time consuming, and it doesn’t help that it takes 1-3 hours every time you just want to go to the next campaign level. I would have much rather just paid $2.99 for a good version of this game without paywalls, than play this free version. I love the Block Fortress franchise, and hope they will make many good games in the future, as they have done in the past. For now, I may be playing the older Block Fortress games more often.

Game is good though not as good as block fortress war because getting to destroy enemy barracks and playing as zomblocks or blokoids made the game more... interesting and hopefully they make a new block fortress game that isn’t as trashy as this and don’t think the devs ever read these reviews so you guess why block fortress empires doesn’t have that many players playing the the game right now (yes hackers don’t get punished on this game because the devs are super lazy and the game is completely trash!) the game is so trashy that I had to delete it completely and no I don’t do that very often only to the extremely bad games only alternative was to wait and see if there would be an update in the future but after what I read in one of these reviews saying that the devs don’t take any advice and likely the devs are lazy and don’t even care about what happens to the game itself and I doubt they will fix any more bugs they probably don’t even care if the game dies or not and no doubt I know it’s true after what I found out in these 1 star reviews don’t know why the devs resorted to a trashy game like this one and the reason that makes me say the game is trash is the devs haven’t fixed any bugs lately and increases the likelihood of the game being trash and yes I mean so if they make a new game of block fortress hope it’s better than this and yes I was hoping this game could’ve been better like a player said this game has wasted it’s potential!

The original Block Fortress was a gem, a true work of art on the mobile platform for it’s time. A game that made me a die hard fan of this developer.

This game however has murdered the Series for me by changing the formula. What was a beautiful premium masterpiece is now a trashy free-to-play money grab centered around PvP, timers, and loot boxes. Half of me wants this blatant pandering and cash-grab of a game to fail horribly due to how upset I am that the Dev killed a game/franchise I loved bu drastically changing the game’s core spirit. Half of me hopes it succeeds because even though this iteration of the game is trash I have seen the great games this developer has produced in the past and maybe the funds from this nightmare can produce something great in the future. Still... I’d highly recommend intelligent gamers to not waste their time on this with so many other amazing games out there by this, and other, fantastic indie devs.

I definitely enjoy this game so much for over a few months now, This would be 5 stars but for some things in the game are too broken and need a fix/nurf, in order of most broken in my opinion drill’s ammo capacity of like 70 and up is too much, like the shrinking super long lasting time of a full 60 seconds, and lastly the hoverboard being able to triple + jumps, people are using little combo set up to rush into bases, the effects all together are too overpowered when anyone can glide past defenses without taking any damage or just drill under neath them, and it’s something that shouldn’t be an issue, until they have everything covered by 3 tools
Also found out a few profiles of people and also who are actually cheating by and are getting away with it, weather it be not being targeted by defense turrets when they are in range of it, or not being affected by the stun or slow effect of the zapper, and not being pulled by an attractor, for people to cheat this bad is not fair and needs fixed
As well as major issues I’ve seen the canister launcher needs a re-work, and the teleport drone apparently can’t be targeted by any turrets
But then again I don’t don't think the developers even read their own ratings on there own game so this I doubt any of what I said will be fixed/updated on

So I loved the first block fortress war, because it had many good mechanics and interesting gameplay. But this addition to the series stripped the last game of those fun mechanics and tried to make something new. I also really don’t like the idea of loot crates in a game like this.

If you want to fix this game it’s going to take a lot but it’s possible. First off, get rid of loot creates... The thing that I loved about the last game that you took away was the waves of units that spawned, so you have to add them back in so both sides spawn units. I actually like the idea of setting up your own defense, but you took away the good mechanics that would make this idea fun so you should bring a majority of the last games mechanics into this game if you really want to please the fan base and revive this game in the series. Right now, I wouldn’t suggest playing this game because it ruined the nostalgia I had from the last game.

Lost all my stuff Fix it maybe 👐😐
Also I’m adding later that the game is sort of disappointing, although I recommend you play it. The turrets look stupid and there are a bunch of easy ways to make your defense super broken op like getting the coastal map and just lining the first hill with guns that will out range you especially while u try to cross the water, also p2w get a massive advantage as they simply buy more “build points” and can just spam so many turrets you don’t have enough ammo or just can’t beat.. see for yourself

I love the block fortress saga the idea of build and defend is really cool and when bf empires came around i thought bro this is cool and it was but i noticed when i got into rank 10 a lot of hackers started attacking me like one time i was attacked by a player and he walked past my defense and traps without cloaking device and with raids i noticed a lot of players somehow remove their door in their base and fill the outside map with water and about the weapons the drill is too op it has too much capicity and players also drill right under my base the canister launcher also needs some adjustment well those are my thoughts

Everything was alright. there were lootcrates, to be expected, the their opening times and open slots are too little. I got multiple boxes with an 8 hour unlock time, usually leaving me to abandon the game half the day. That much is fine, since there are ads that can shorten the length to open. The multiplayer, however, was ATROCIOUS. I had around 100 ping, but the connection was trash, making movement slow and jittery compared to the normal singleplayer raid. The chat is equally bad, with the potential to spam the top half of my screen with trash. How am I supposed to earn 20 Co-Op stars if I cannot even do a single raid?

Great game, it’s fun being able to watch people beat your traps.

I’m not fond of the absolute luck factor in upgrading your stuff.

For instance, I LOVE the Holo Gun. If you can draw someone into a kill box where they’re getting hit on all sides and it’s hard to tell who’s shooting them, it’s just...satisfying.

But despite it being a “rare” item, I’ve only ever gotten one (you need 2 to upgrade). I’m up to level 5. I’ve gotten literally hundreds of items at this point and I spent $20 on defense boxes trying to get one. I’ve gotten more than a dozen “epic” items and the “rare” melt gun cards like they’re suckers at a doctor’s office. But only EVER 1 card of the kind I want to upgrade.

I’ll be coming into level 6 with an underpowered favorite block and literally no way to reliably upgrade it. I’d pay a premium for that by now. It makes me sad.

PS—CHOOSE YOUR FIRST WORLD WISELY. I’m not sure why, but terraforming your world makes it much much smaller. Your first world is much larger than all the other options you choose, giving measurably more defensive options. Intentional? I don’t know, but definitely annoying.

Im pretty op in this game. Heres the thing I have nothing to do now. Can it be like the original block fortress that you can always have the option to defend basses and all that. Its not fun to just see other peoples basses and try to sneak in their base and try to destroy it. It gets extremly boring and tedeous. Like I have to wait to get loot and everything just to do campaign sometimes I can’t afford it mmm what to do. The game is kinda enjoyable ill give you that. But this game isn’t really the best in my opinion just saying. If you do this I would rate it 5 billion stars jk but you know what I mean.

Just found this game recently and there hasn’t been an update in 6 months. I see so much potential for this game. Please fix co-op raids and maybe a have an option to share one base with your empire. Also do empire vs empire. I’m a low lvl but I am enjoying it for now. I hope fixes and future updates come soon

From the trailer I thought this would be an Open world x RTS x fort builder x F/TPS, kind of disappointed since I kind of expected something like you spawn in a world with a designated plot for your base and another area around the perimeter for your defenses, and to travel you would either open a map to fast travel to the perimeter of another base or walk there, also expected attack troops, but otherwise, the game is fun since you don’t really limit the creativity, like I recreated a mini tribute hall from destiny for my trophies and I liked the look when it was done, fun, maybe try making something like the above stuff, maybe call it, BlockFortess worlds or something

I would really like a campaign mode where you pledge yourself to say, the goblocks or block men, and then raid and defend bases for them, against or alongside armies of NPC soldiers, each faction could have their own things they give you, the zomblocks allowing you to spawn an allied horde on offense and use troop buffing totems on defense, and you could only use equipment and support form one or two factions at a time on multiplayer for balance. I want to be leading a block men detachment from the front against a blockoid fortress as plasma weapons blow up a group of goblocks mercenaries. You did heroes and castles so you can do it 100%. So give us content!

I love the game but I have a suggestion for a new biome. There are many of them now but an aquatic one is what's missing. Water and liquids in the game makes it easier to hide defenses so I believe it will be a nice addition. Of course, some useful parts such as trees and mountains might be absent, but the large amounts of water will make up for it. There might be some smaller hills or pieces of land scattered around, but for the most part the surface is water. Maybe some parts are deeper and others are shallower. It'll definitely be fun to try out such a biome, especially for some players like me who are going for an aquatic theme for their whole base. Please consider this idea. Thank you!

Game play is entertaining with aspects of strategy from Block Fortress War. But with the FPS experience you get from Block Fortress. You have a single player mode where you can fight the characters from Block Fortress War. As well as the raid where you can attack other players bases. You don’t lose anything if you are raided which is nice but it’s still fun to build defenses and see how a real person will react to your defenses. Which makes it a little more challenging than the other games Forsaken Media have released.

So when I saw the preview I new this would be a good game and when it downloaded so early it was like my birthday so when joined the game and played the tutorial it was so fun but I have some suggestions so 1 the limit for special items is to small so at least make it cheaper to get more 2 I bought someone’s pre made house but didn’t get it 3 when in third person with a gun add a aim button were it zooms in. So this game is amazing I hope you get a lot of players so I can play with them and raid them overall amazing game😁😁😁😁👍✌️👍👍👍

love ur games

pitfall trap and gunbots from behind works every-time makes defense to easy. havent lost with it.

Pitch: heros and castles 3, same if not LESS graphics then first one,go back to the multiple heros rather then 3 races. borderlands skill trees were nice step but they were either worthless or broken ( 80% slow time...why would i play anything else), made the game feel more bland and gave less replay ability then the first. also make skills /spells buttons like HC1 , maybe 4 limit. make some plot story narrative thingy were the enemy have to side with humans( maybe to fight some demons) so we can play as evil hero's and have evil troops to use. Werewolf, Necromancer, Fallen Angel, Ent, Amalgamation, Goblin rifle/ bomber would be sick. 3 passives each, 2 “super” passives but u can only choose 1 every battle. and 4-7 skills, can take 3 into-battle. equipment was meh to, id be fine if that was tossed. all you had to do was upload to icloud, by stuff, dident get anything good? download from icloud, god im typing alot

The game is fun and stays true to the blockverse. It would be great if I could have all of my home base items removed at once so I can start from scratch. I feel as though the raiding part of the game is too easy and defending isn’t working out. The machine guns’ range is a bit too far or the machine gun turret range is too short. There is a sweet cheese spot where you can get easy takedowns on machine gun turrets. All in all a good game and I’m certain will improve over time!

The new mechanics are really cool but I also want to make an account for my sis with the same email, problem is it loads my progress. Can you add a log in and a log out option so you can have multiple accounts or you can restart your progress. The original was perfect the way it was but this slaps down more mechanics and tbh I kinda like new stuff. Can you add an arena mode and a co-op defense like the original. Can you also add more accessories to everything because using the same character design would cause some people to look the same. That’s why I’m asking for you to add a character editor or at least more accessories and bodies. Don’t mind the other bad reviews, they just don’t wanna embrace new stuff. One thing I complain about is. Stairs and slopes, it just could add new mechanics like a new trap for slopes... like you could add in new traps like a spike and the slope will cause you to slide. One last thing, can you add more weapons like the originals, the cyro gun thing, shrink ray, etc. Sorry for the big review I just like the game but I think it could use a few improvements.

I don’t like that defensive and creative building were separated and I wish it had just been one building area. Also I’d really like an option to turn off the lightning on the lava map Bc I’m getting a headache from it but I can’t and don’t want to change maps. I like that this is a Minecraft + clash of clans + FPS/tps depending on ur preference and the aesthetics are rly cool. I would really like to see the old block fortress with the building items in this game :) also love the cat bot :D
