This or Forts

Should I buy this or forts

[cataclysm]

depends, are you more solo(currently mostly SP though dev is busy with experimenting in adding more mp) or mostly multiplayer?

if you'd like a game that's more focused on yourself then this one is more fun, but if you have friends then forts may be more fun.

but forts is allot different than this one, for one forts is a game where you build a fort(by hand) and pelt other forts with weapons you yourself need to individually aim, while airships is a game around managing a fleet, designing ships(land and air) and buildings and ordering them over to do destruction, things in both games may fall apart and get destroyed but while in forts you have to do everything on the fly, airships allows you seas of time to optimize, get creative and design your units.

you are comparing a steampunk RTS/'ship designer' to a semi-military 'PvP tower defence'

Hmm well I like co op kind of gameplay with friends against bots does this game have co-op? I could probably buy both but just in case I hate waiting for the refund. Also I know I could check the store page but a lot of times it has false tags on some games that don't really mean what the tag means.

no... currently only verses(single battle with two fleets and a player controlling each a side) but as i said, the dev was playing around with bringing co-op strategy to the game, and maybe also verses strategy.

that's another point this game, it's still being programmed as we play it. the dev is also very active with the community so there is a good chance you might get to talk to him.

fair enough, though watching some gameplay is also something you could do.

i have both games and i consider airships the better buy considering that i don't have many friends... anyway just decide which is better to you, i know forts is allot more popular and there is a bigger community as a result but airships does not need it as much in comparison.

ok I might just buy both games and actually check them out. To be fair Forts does look at lot better graphics and physics wise but this game looks like its a lot more focused on the gameplay

This.

Does that clear up the question?

[buddy266]

Not really, if you could tell me why that would be great

Well... While I do agree that Forts has a better Multiplayer experience, and the physics are better, in basically everything else, Airships is the better product.

The strategic gameplay and RTS elements are more interesting. The setting is more immersive. The graphics, although seemingly utilitarian pixel art on first glance, greatly outshines Forts in attention to detail. Forts looks oddly like a cartoon, and that's putting it nicely. While being able to manually control towers might make it a more visceral experience, Airships still maintains nice action contrasted with fleet-level tactics. And if the vanilla game gets boring...
