Fort Apache

Fort Apache drops you into the Old West with the subtlety of a saloon door kicked off its hinges. Strategy and action mingle as you defend your frontier outpost from relentless attackers who apparently have nothing better to do. The presentation is straightforward, almost austere, but there’s tension in managing resources while fending off wave after wave of trouble. It’s the digital equivalent of pacing along wooden ramparts, squinting at the horizon and muttering, “Here they come again.” Not revolutionary, perhaps, but it has that early-’90s determination to make every pixel count in the name of survival.
