Development
Fortress was originally announced in June 2000 as a PlayStation and Dreamcast game under development by Promethean Designs with the title "Fortris". In January 2001, Majesco Games announced that it had acquired the game, then titled "Fortres", alongside nine other titles for release on the GBA. The game was given a final name change the following month. Development moved from Promethean Designs to Pipe Dream Interactive, Majesco's internal developer. Majesco announced in July 2001 that Fortress was to be published in PAL regions by THQ as part of an international publishing deal between the two corporations.
Reception
IGN stated that the game "seems very unfinished", but "does have a lot of very clever ideas", saying that it would have been a much better game if the developers took more time.
