Steampunk has been an in thing for geek culture for the last
decade, but many other retro futuristic sci fi subgenres are making their way
to popularity. Dieselpunk, raygun gothic and atompunk are just a few of them.
That last one can be found in its TV form throughout the web, such as the two
series I discussed last post. But
atompunk is also becoming a hit in video games.
Fortified is one
of many games in this classification. It’s set in an alternative 1950s where players
have to defend the earth from invading Martians. Players strategically build a defense
base to ward off armies of alien robots. A player chooses the role of one of four archetypal characters: “a jetpack piloting heroine, a shotgun wielding space
cowboy, a secret government agent, [or] a battle hardened Marine captain.” You can play single or as a
group of up to four players. This sci fi video game is loaded with retro future
style high-tech weapons and up-to-date special effects.
