The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.

Why players love itThings to know
50% of themes are praise38% are divided12% are caveats
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Even as a party game, Forts is at times just too random and too overwhelmingly controlled by luck, with a single bad roll ending an entire round.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Other than campaigns and modding, you can also play skirmishes against a bot with a difficulty of your choice, sandbox, where you can control both teams and basically play a match against yourself, and what many consider the best part, multiplayer.
