Some info on Fortnite
Fortnite is the Epic title that sees the software house compete with the open world cooperative survival. It is also the first title created using the Unreal Engine 4.
Settings and characters in cartoon style are the background to a game structure divided into two phases. During the day, players must collect components to build a shelter, during the night they must defend themselves against monsters in the created shelter.
So they come to mix strategic mechanics, similar to those of the sub-genus tower defense, with action shooter phases in which we will have to defend ourselves from the onslaught of zombies and monsters of various kinds, using various types of weapons.
The Fortnite campaign can be faced together with friends thanks to a cooperative multiplayer mode, while the contents of the game will be enriched thanks to the release of periodic updates to expand the open world created by Epic Games.
