Block Fortress: War in IOS

A sci-fi block-building RTS

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

85/100

Block Fortress War is a fantastic mashup of RTS and Tower Defense. If you like the blocky aesthetic of Minecraft but want the tactical depth of a game like StarCraft, this is for you. The campaign is surprisingly long and challenging, forcing you to think carefully about where to place your turrets versus where to send your hero. Choosing your race—whether it's the high-tech humans or the more primal 'Blockoids'—completely changes your strategy.

The 'Fortress' aspect is what makes it unique. You aren't just managing units; you're building a base that needs to survive a siege. The multiplayer is where the game really shines, though. Going head-to-head with another player, trying to find a hole in their defenses while protecting your own, is incredibly tense. It’s a smart, deep, and very polished strategy game that deserves a lot more attention.

In Block Fortress: War, you control one of five unique races, each with its own units, heroes, and blocks. This game combines the building freedom of a sandbox with the strategic intensity of a real-time strategy (RTS) game. Construct your base with defensive turrets and walls, then lead your hero and army into battle to destroy the enemy's core. With a massive single-player campaign and intense head-to-head multiplayer, you must master both building and combat to reign supreme.
