### 5/5 — One of the most unique, engaging and fun games of my childhood.

*2025-12-16, version 1.4.5*

As the title said, I spent hours upon hours of my childhood playing this game alongside my brothers. Truly so many memories were created from this game, and it is so unique. Always wished for a sequel, which doesn’t seem to be coming - but thank you Foursaken for all the fun throughout the years.

### 5/5 — About the future

*2025-11-20, version 1.4.5*

I really love this game and I was really hoping if one day in the future you could make a part 2 to this game involving the newer characters and much better graphics and quality plus new and crazy perks you can add to the units especially the zomblocks

### 5/5 — The Best Game Ever👌🏻

*2025-11-16, version 1.4.5*

This game is the most entertaining and the most block battlefield game that I ever play in my life I play this since 10 June 2016 after when the game was released 2014 anyway I feel like this game has full potential to the community that people care this game I wish we get block fortress war 2 I was thinking of an idea block fortress war 2 could have like something similar to this original game but better and have more levels and more planets and maybe some other game modes. And you can upgrade your hero’s, units and weapons. I was thinking about this other fun mode like you can make your own map like making your own landscape, Levels, structures and more and you can put in the community to let players play your map and testing players to beat your level. Foursaken Media if you see this feedback I hope this info gives you some idea for the future that you will come up and create thank you for everything.

### 5/5 — Great game, needs saves

*2025-11-01, version 1.4.5*

This game rocks and has a ton of gameplay hours. One thing I’d like to see is the ability to save a game so I can  put it down and pick it up later when working

### 2/5 — Game needs to be fixed

*2025-10-25, version 1.4.5*

The game has several bugs. 1: some achievements are bugged. (cloud save and load doesn’t work?) 2: iPad window misalignment issue. 3: building gui are sometimes glitched when battle start. Certain blocks cannot be placed when this happens. (This is seriously affecting the game)

### 4/5 — Pls make Block Fortress War 2

*2025-10-19, version 1.4.5*

The RTS games are your best ones pls make a sequel

### 5/5 — Concept of a new race: Hellblocks

*2025-08-11, version 1.4.5*

Back story: “The planet [Saitan] was once a green and peaceful world with many civilizations, until the day the cataclysm struck. The Hellblocks rose from the underworld and unleashed its fury upon its surface dwellers. The world fell into chaos and eventually the remaining survivors were either killed or enslaved. The world transformed into a molten planet as the Hellblocks now stands as the dominant species on the planet. Hellblocks are a fierce and aggressive race and they seek to divide and conquer other planets to expand their empire. If they succeed, the blockverse will be left with nothing but the pain, fear, and hatred.” 

In battle, Hellblocks fights in large numbers and they uses a large variety types of weapons from hex spells to weapons imbued with dark magic. Among other things, they are also capable of manipulation and mind control.

——————————————— 

Hello developers! I really enjoyed this game and I come back to it every once in a while to beat the campaign. But don’t you think it’s time to spice it up a little bit? let me know what you think about my concept. Also try to make this game more competitive with a ranking system in PVP, Maybe a level editor system where you can create and share your own custom levels! Consider adding these features and this will be one of the best games ever! 😊👍 

 Thank you!
