The game's story has received mixed feedback, with some players appreciating its complexity and interesting elements compared to the first installment, while others feel it lacks the charm and simplicity that made the original appealing. Many users have noted issues with mission clarity and progression, leading to frustration, particularly with bugs that disrupt gameplay. Overall, while the narrative has potential, it suffers from execution problems and a lack of engaging side missions.
- “Been a fan of the last game, the game had an interesting story with some gameplay that had a lot of potential, made 3 years ago, and it returned.”
- “I love the two previous Fortress games; this one is better. It's more complex, everything you upgrade will affect the gameplay, and there's like this cool story. Good stuff!”
- “There is a great story in this game.”
- “The story/tutorial is a waste of time.”
- “The game is good, just the lack of graphics and a more detailed tutorial, like how the game plays out with different characters when you do the main quest, but only being able to play on normal kind of sucks.”
- “The game is over good and better graphics, but it takes away from the simplicity in the first one and the story text box should just be left out; otherwise, it's good.”

The gameplay of the sequel has received mixed reviews, with many players noting significant improvements in mechanics and animations compared to the previous installment. However, the complexity and lack of documentation for new features have made it challenging for some users to grasp, leading to a frustrating experience, particularly with the grindy progression and confusing controls. While some appreciate the depth and challenge, others find the gameplay sluggish and overly complicated, preferring the simpler mechanics of the original game.
- “The gameplay has improved from the last game massively and improved on a couple of features from the last game, like stopping soldiers. The animation for shooting down enemies feels smoother as they take aim, and the endless upgrades on soldiers and survival features, like dealing with food and water, make it worth a try.”
- “Nice performance and gameplay.”
- “Gameplay is great even though it needs time to understand all the mechanics in the game, like crafting items. Mostly, you need to figure out how to play the game by yourself. The missions can be quite challenging, but once completed, it's overall a great experience.”
- “This game is the sequel installment from the previous Fortress TD2. It added new mechanics and a lot of 'grindy' features into this game. Progressing can be very tedious when unlocking more characters, which is definitely the worst idea. It's cool that they have their own respective soldiers, but the state of the game itself is just extremely grindy.”
- “The gameplay itself is too hard to understand, very complex with a weird in-game UI and controls. I can't even pass level 2 because all troops in my team are emptying their magazines, and it only did -10% to the boss health. Not much of a step up from the original game.”
- “Ultra slow gameplay with an overcomplicated command interface. I didn't last five minutes on my phone before uninstalling.”

- “Building the command center is so buggy for me; it's always stuck at 0:01, so literally the whole game I barely research. Pretty good though.”
