Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2017
This game is currently in Open Beta...ish. It is a weird model that Epic Games is working with; In 2018 this game will be Free to Play, right now they are offering paid Beta Access which are also Founders Packs and offer some unique and pretty powerful weapons and heroes to play with. You can purchase the base game at $29.99 and upgrade from within the game and receive some neat DLC and even extra digital copies for friends.
ABOUT THE GAME
It's a very playable/replayable game that is essential Plants Vs Zombies mixed with some Minecraft and Left 4 Dead. You build up your mean headquarters and battle an onslaught of zombies while also completing missions in the world and harvesting resources to rebuild and expand your homebase. If you like building and gunning down zombies this game is for you. I will admit it gets tedious with the harvesting and building structures for every mission, but overall its not a bad game. Might be a bad model to get into though.
The learning curve is fairly high as level up heroes, survivors, weapons, traps, and your account will be overwhelming at first but with some help from friendly players, online guides, and taking the time to really understand the game you'll be on your way to crushing skulls in no time. There are plenty of weapons to craft and utilize to complete your missions and various heroes to unlock through Loot Llamas that can be earned ingame or purchased with real money.
The real con here is that it is in Beta and there are going to be glitches, bugs, and monetization that people dont agree with. If you are still skeptical about this game I highly suggest watching videos on the gameplay and read Fortnites Forums and Reddit to really grasp the community and vision this game has to offer. Its not really a mess as it is a building block that requires more peoples' feedback on what type of game this will become.
