Overview
Description

Fortress lets you construct endless, quirky structures and pit them against rivals in a chaotic war that spans from the Stone Age to a futuristic plasma era. Populate your stronghold with humorous Twerp characters, unlock the Wizard's Tower, and enjoy both solo campaigns and head‑to‑head link‑cable battles on the Game Boy Advance. The game blends puzzle‑like building mechanics with strategic combat, offering a variety of historical and sci‑fi weaponry—from dinosaur‑era rocks to pirate cannons and plasma projectiles. With single‑player and multiplayer modes, Fortress delivers fast‑paced, replayable fun for all ages.

Valheim is a co-op survival crafting game set in a procedurally generated Norse purgatory, blending base-building, exploration, and challenging boss fights with a striking low-poly art style.

Been playing Valheim with friends. Great atmosphere and art. One gripe: combat is simple. Would recommend.
