Fortified from Clapfoot Inc. is coming to PC and XBOX ONE on February 3. Clapfoot Inc. is a Toronto based game studio formed in 2011, previously they have only made cellphone games. The game is a mix between a tower defense game and a third person shooter. You, together with up to three other co-op players, have to defend earth against a Martian invasion. The game takes place in a 1950´s cartoon inspired world with cold war weaponry. In the game you have to manage both building defenses and shooting up the invading aliens. This is not the first time a game mixes the two genres. Hopefully the theme is unique enough that it will stand out in a crowded market. The game is available for pre-order today at a 14.99 dollar price point on XBOX ONE and Steam. There is no word on the game coming to Playstation 4 in the future.
