After 1 thousand hours of playing the game, I can freely say that this game is great for playing in a company of 4 or more players. The large list of weapons combined with the right commanders make the game fun and exciting. I haven't played in a pro league yet, but watching professionals play can be very interesting, especially when they play 2v2 and work in pairs. The community of the game is very small, most of them are “planchas”, but there are also a lot of pro players with whom you can play and learn something new (base design or some cool strategy). There are a lot of mods and maps in Forts, which is why the game is not dead yet.....yet

Too dumb to be an engineer, but too slow to play an FPS? Forts is the perfect combination of physics, strategy, and combat. Imagine Teardown, but 2D and you're trying to blow each other up. Very satisfying and re-playable.
