Fort Triumph

24 May update: After numerous changes made by the devs, and another 6 more hours of gameplay, I would have to say that the game is overall more balanced.

Great game, good RGP elements on building up your character and good story line.

What makes combat much more interesting than the simple rules suggest, however, is the use of pushing or pulling forces, and destructible objects in the environment.

The artifacts and character traits added a bit of depth to it as well - whoever designed them was clearly of a "Make things make a big difference so you notice them" school of thought.

They're not astoundingly detailed, but models are nicely made and reasonably well animated; textures are colourful, if a little plain; and special effects are mostly good, though burning objects such as trees can look a little strange sometimes.

While the local-co-op and attempts at game balance are appreciated, the computer needs some kind of catch-up mechanic that ups their aggression.
