When you're not playing, seasons change, and you may come back to be greeted by disasters that happened while you were away or gifts to bolster your resources.If you're more creatively inclined and want to add more content to the game, you can even create your own buildings to siege using the built-in Building Editor.
Throughout the game you'll unlock new ammo types that can each fill a niche in your strategy - from brutish explosive cannonballs that stick to blocks and blow up, to cannonballs that gush corrosive acid.

User Reviews
Fun, good concept, but too too grindy. Not enough fun collapsing towers over and over again.
So, what makes these kinds of games fun for me (Crush the Castle, Angry Birds, Some Math Game I Played During Elementary School That Wasn't Blocked), is seeing everything collapse after knocking down a pillar or taking out a wall. Though I also keep the objectives in mind, seeing a gigantic structure crumble to dust with just a few well-placed cannonballs/dynamite/boulders is what's fun about these games. In Blasted Fortress, while the cannonballs are tied to physics, the fortresses aren't. Taking out an entire layer to a fortress does not split apart the roof and send it tumbling down, and taking out the bottom of a tower does not cause it to topple. Nothing moves, actually... no matter how much damage you do, every (intact) block stays exactly where it was at the beginning of the siege. This is my biggest complaint; it's taking away my reward. I don't give a shit about making money, or completing random levels, or completing minigames, or whatever other side content the game has to...
