Community Insight:
Great game bought it again still fun! No adds! Would recommend.
Used to play this back when it first came out, just hopped on recently as of the news of block fortress 2, very excited to play that in September hopefully, but the og is such a great game still , brings back so many good memories of our childhood. Absolutely wonderful game.
If they see this it would be great but these games made our childhood these are truly amazing games deserves way more players than it gets.
This game was the first sandbox game with leveling up that wasnt boring! Most sandbox games needed hours of boring gameplay on a story mode but this game lets you make your own story, your own base, and your own challenge to level up your character without getting bored, and nothing about is disappointing at all, none of it, just a pure and fun way to make bases, learn from your defeat and so much more! We love it, but we can get Block fortress 2 on the device Im on cuz Im both broke and cant get a iPhone or android, so Im really hoping this game could keep getting new things added, but not too much as it would distract developers and stuff from developing block fortress 2 to be a great game, so Id really like for small but nice updates, maybe add infantry for a start.
We made a cringe review years ago and we just had to delete it. Anyways, this game is great, and they made a second one on steam that Im gonna play.
The riot shield is lacking in damage, if we could upgrade it thatd be awesome.
Update: The devs actually updated the game and fixed the issue we had been having! Definitely five stars.
One of our go to mobile games for yearssssss, love it team.
It would be very cool if you guys made it so Bluetooth or connected controllers worked for this game.
We like survival, really fun, had to pay a little bit of real money to get ahead of levels. Then it was really fun again. Then mineral deposits ran out, would be nice if more could spawn. We thought that was going to happen, kind of a important part of the game.
Is the creator of this game still gonna work on this game.
We downloaded this game a few years back. It was very fun playing now. We havent seen anyone every time.
Whenever we upload a map that we created to play on the arena mode, the map will load and then not show the other person(s) as choosing their weapons to spawn with. Then, when we try to start it, the game will crash and kick us out. Is this fixable? Please try to resolve this, we would very much like to create bases to play on, and cannot until this is working properly. Thank you.
Why did you delete crouching that was awesome PLEASE add it back.
This game is extremely fun and Im not complaining or anything Im just saying that we try to join an arena match or co op but no one ever plays and we can never find anyone to play with. :(.
Please update all block fortress.
Now this game will forever be in our heart and mind as a player, builder, defender, stratigizer, and person. We played this ever since we were a kid and we absolutely love it, even today. We really hope the company can come out with more great content, maybe on pc or console. Please, keep developing, keep creating, keep updating. This is by far one of our most and favorite games, yes we have played Elden Ring. Thank you for this masterpiece and we hope to see it strive once again, maybe in a different form or way towards the future, perhaps a complete remake is needed for this to happen, who knows, we just know, we love this game. Old but Gold.
We love this game. Been playing it ever since we were kid and still playing to this day. We also play another game of yours, Block Fortress: War. With the introduction of the three new races-Blockbots, Zomblocks, and Blockoids-you should incorporate them into this game as well. There could be a menu where we can select what kind of enemies we want to defend against. Each enemy present their own unquiet challenges: Goblocks- Standard enemies Zomblocks- While they dont have any range units, they attack in massive hordes, with some units-like Radioactive-being impervious to range weapons and some units-like Brute-being near impossible to kill. Blockbots- Advance enemies that attack in considerable numbers and are high mobile due to their zero gravity propulsion. Each Blockbot carries a deadly array of advance ranged weaponry. Blockoids- While they attack in very few numbers, they are the toughest enemies to face. Each godlike unit carrying a massive arsenal on them. These enemies will require players to throw everything in their arsenal at them just to bring a single Blockoid warrior down. Heck, why not even allow us to defend against fellow Block Men. Block Men- These enemies attack in moderate numbers and are easiest to kill. However, they carry a variety of long range weapons. From devastating machine guns and sniper rifles, to destructive grenade launchers and rocket launchers. These enemies are not to be underestimated.
We downloaded the game in 2019 and its THE BEST GAME EVER. MY REAL RATE IS 3000.
It remove our purchase every time we close our game down you need to fix it.
This is the best game ever and we really hope we get to see more.
We grew up with this game and we're so glad its still around unlike pocket potions zombie highway 2 and a lot of the older games we loved. The nostalgia and over all enjoyment this game brings puts it in our top 10 games of all time –18M.
So we were playing the game and then all of the sudden it crashed when we logged on again we saw that our level was 19, we had 22 levels and it was reduced. We wanna know why this is happening we spent over 3 hours trying to get a weapon we needed and this is all we get from that. Please fix the game if the devolepers are reading this.
Ok lets get to the point:this is a good game. Ok? We could make this an hour long essay but not gonna lie this is good also about the idea how about you add for a last major update or last update ever add an in app purchase for $4.99 or less which makes you max level and unlocks all bots as well as weapons and turrets please! Ps your game is good.
Amazing game, but it wont let us save our matcha or level. Restoring doesnt fix it. We love the game, but it wont let us save any games that we do. Nor will it save our level. Please fix this as this is one of our favorite games on mobile and we would really love to be able to actually play it.
This game is amazing but there is one big issue we have with it. We bought the attack bot for 99 and after we were done we put the game down. We got in the next day and it said that we never bought it even though we spent the money we even checked our purchase history for proof it went through. Please fix this bug the game is amazing otherwise.
This game has been here for most of our childhood and it was very fun chances are your not reading this but please make a block fortress 2 or continue to work on this one we would love to see what kind of stuff you will come up with and your probably a small group of people or just 1 person making these games Im not asking for it to be make within the next week Im asking if you can work on this game whenever you have free time so that eventually all that small amount of time a week adds up and makes the game much better.
We dont need to explain our self.
This is one of our favorites games ever! We have always love the idea of turrets and this game is what we wanted. We could go on and on why but thats not what these are for. We REALLY want a new update thats not a bug fix! Bug fix are important but thats the only update Ive seen since Ive been playing. We know yall were making new games like Empires, and who knows what yall are making now, but still a update would be Amazing. Imagine a guided rocket launcher turret , or more robot that you can unlock without money. Heres some ideas, including what we just said: 1: Robots. Just add more robots. It doesnt matter if it cost, or doesnt cost money (though we would rather you have unlockable ones) but we want more. Like the saw robot from Empires, or a landmine placing robot. 2: traps. Basically, just different kinds of landmines. Like one that pushes enemies back, or some that turn a enemy to your side. 3: NPCs. What if you could hire NPCs for you like the robots. We doubt you would add this but we think it cool. 4: Turrets. Last but not least, more turrets like: 1: turrets from your other games. 2: rocket or guided rocket launcher. 3: a big turret that takes up 4 blocks like an auto cannon. 4: a better version of the machine gun and 50 cal (which btw is a machine gun in real life) Etc.
We played this game when we were younger and we still love it. Man we missed this game.
Love the game!! Wish we could play it tho :/ our saves only work 1/8 of the time. Whenever we exit the app it puts us back a few hours of gameplay :( thats too big of a draw back for us to continue playing im still trying everything we can to fix it but nothing seems to work! Please look into this :) Also this game could use some in app purchase canpaigns and marketing aswell as more frequent updates to get it wuring on the appstore again! Its deffinitly a gem.
This game is our favorite game since when we were 7 years old still we play it a lot but no one even plays it anymore please make this game better.
We downloaded this game years ago we love it very very much. We've played this with our friends too and they also think it's awesome. But for about a year now everyone is having hardcore frame rate and lag issues because of recent updates. We're all for updates don't get us wrong but the lag and frame rate is (SO BAD) it makes the game unplayable and there's also a shadow glitch that makes the world extremely dark and more laggy when blocks are being removed. Multiplayer just don't work anymore but that's not the main issue although us and our friends loved it when it did work. You're probably thinking "why rate 5 when you're complaining so much" because like we said we really love this game, we want it to be good, and playable again which is why we're giving it tough love… (so dev or devs if you see this which is not likely, please don't abandon your amazing game for the other game you have released because no offense but we like this one better but, please fix the hardcore lag, shadow glitch, and frame rate issues and make it more playable like it once was). ("Please").
We would like the game to have a controller option for like a PS4 controller.
This game is amazing but can you have a update like new stuff like when you hit lvl 30 you can have people come out of your base like in block fortress war. If you respond we will be really happy and please do the update.
This game is very good the AI is great and the turrets to great game devs an also please add more updates it would really help this game out.
We love this game but every time we go online nobody's there! Even when we go through all the servers nobodys ever online. You guys need to add bots for online or something, and let us level up better with other players, whether theyre real or bots.
Ok sooooooo first the game is SOOOOO AMAZING. We love it a lot. BUT it needs an update. Pls. Also people who are complaining about it not being free it because the game as no ads…..so if u want ads it will be free. Thx for reading this and PLS FOURSAKEN MEDIA MAKE A UPDATE WITH LIKE NEW GUNS OR ENEMYS. PLS.
We remember playing this on our iPhone 5 eight years ago, one of the most nostalgic games for us.
Really enjoyed the game, but when we try to play online it says no players online and knowing all the people that downloaded this game (and revewed it) we cant believe there arent any.
Block Fortress takes on the Minecraft-inspired genre, and adds its own unique charm. This was our all time favorite game when we were younger, and we just replayed it and bought the full version. Its a shame this game isnt getting as much attention as other big titles, but we recommend it to anybody who loves this genre. For 2 bucks, its a win win.
One day we were play block fortress and we bought all the robots to play with but after a few days later we whiten was today all our bots were gone so they need to fix that and we spent 3 dollars for that from our iTunes so never ever by all robots its a scam just to steal ur iTunes money they only give you it for 1day so dont fade for it.
How do we drop stuff from our hot bar or remove.
Really great game though we suggest that co-op is not so hard and you can set a time in the arena mode like a infinite time setting.
We first played this when we were more younger and had lots of fun we maxed out everything and still had a fun time after, trying to create the most effective base but then we stopped and moved on but we remember about this game and wanted to play for nostalgic reasons & we still had a fun time as when we first played. Would recommend.
We played this game 4or5 years ago and we still love it! And it is still to this day best game we ever played.
Ive been playing this game for YEARS now, and it has never let us down. Except for when all our data was lost, but thats our fault for not using the cloud. ANYWAY, this game NEEDS TO BE ON STEAM!!! It was on greenlight, and since today (10-15-19), FoursakenMedia has been offline for 2,190 days. You people should really update the game to the PC universe so we can play the game like its supposed to be.
We love this game but with the new release of Empires Id like to see customization, graphics, and probably new animations and movement. We know this is not happening but it would be awesome.
We played this game so long ago and its just so much fun no matter what.
Its fun but it needs more players Im lonly :(.
