Neon Bastion

Your fortress shape is your strategy.

QUADFORT is an arcade strategy game for 1–4 players. Every wave you arm your fortress, lay siege to your rivals, rebuild what broke and race for the top score. Fight through the solo Gauntlet campaign, skirmish against AI rivals, or play with friends on one screen or online.

Spend energy on cannons inside your ring. Each one has a job:

• Rapid — fast shots that tear through walls

• Mortar — lobs shells over walls; its splash wrecks cannons

• Lance — a fast beam that pierces up to three walls in a line

Arm your ring with Fortify: after three hits it raises a shield. Fill all eight slots around your bastion and your guns cool faster.

You aim every shot yourself, and every shot heats your guns, so pick your targets. Break a rival's ring for big points. When your Overdrive meter is full, unleash five seconds of rapid fire with no heat.

Sixteen seconds. Drop, rotate and hold blocks to repair your walls and close the ring around your bastion. Leave a gap and you take a strike — three failed rings in a row and you're out.

A score after every wave and a winner after the last. Tied for the lead? Sudden Death decides it.
