Rocket Fortress

What is Rocket Fortress?

Created by an independent studio and released in 2025, Rocket Fortress transports you to a post-apocalyptic nightmare where your fortified outpost straddles the line between salvation and disaster. The goal is to turn a basic cannon into a devastating arsenal by increasing its firepower to catastrophic levels, rather than just holding the line.

Core Gameplay

Rocket Fortress is a wave-based RPG tower defense game. Enemies trudge toward your base in relentless swarms as they pour through ghostly portals. Your weapon is a versatile rocket launcher, which starts simple and progresses through upgrades.

• Shoot and Gather Resources: Prioritize clusters for maximum efficiency and use the spacebar or mouse click to aim and launch missiles. Loot drops from defeated enemies. So, be quick to collect them to power up upgrades like auto-aim or explosive payloads.
• Wave Progression: Adaptive tactics are required as the environment changes from level to level, from windswept tundra to flaming sand dunes. To exploit weaknesses, boss raids require precise timing and constant fire.
• Upgrades and Strategy: Use short-term power-ups for shields or area destruction, but relying too much on them will make the mission less enjoyable.

The games are perfect for browser breaks as they last from 10 to 30 minutes and have a multitude of game modes for extended play sessions.
