    Introduction

    Fortnite is the popular battle royale style game that’s taken the world by storm. Whether you are a gamer or not, chances are very good that you’ve at least heard of the game at this point, and you’ve probably even seen someone playing it if you haven’t tried it yourself. The game focuses on putting groups of 100 players against one another in a fight for survival. Groups can be made up of four per team, two per team or 100 indiviual players all vying for the top spot in the game. No matter what format players decide to play in, one thing stays the same, they will be running around, finding as much valuable loot as they can, and fighting for their survival while trying to become the last remaining player in the game.

    Fortnite is an intense death-match styled game, but it’s more than that. It’s a test of skill and it’s a colorful and fun experience. Many new players are overwhelmed by the controls, all the different places on the map and all the enemies trying to take them out, but over time as the game becomes more familiar it has a sort of charm to it. Fortnite is a long-term game of skill that takes time to get good at, and it’s a game that players of all ages can enjoy. It’s available on most game systems today, including PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android, and it can be played by just about anyone.

    Why Play Fortnite?

    Even if you’ve tried Fortnite out before, or you’ve seen someone else play the game, you might be wondering why you should play the game personally. That’s a hard question to answer, but the game has a lot going for it. While it seems like a basic shooter and survival game on the surface, it’s actually much more than that. Fortnite adds in an element of building that makes things much more interesting and challenging. The best players put up complex structures while battling their enemies, and it’s through their building skills that they often determine who is going to win or lose a match. If you enjoy shooting games you’ll probably like some of the features that Fortnite has to offer, but even if you get bored with standard shooters you may still enjoy this game.

    Fortnite demands a high level of skill from the gamers that want to be good at it. You will spend time learning to build properly. You will spend time learning different areas of the map and how to best use their features to meet your own needs. Only after taking the time to learn all these different things will you stand a chance at beating the other players that you come up against. The game gives you a chance to develop your skills and learn to use your creativity to overcome enemies. It’s bright and colorful and a lot of fun for kids and adults alike, and thanks to all the different challenges, special customization items and the leveling system, you’ll always have a goal to work toward as you play round after round of this challenging game on whatever system you decide to use.

    There are few games on the market today that can match the complexity of Fortnite while still making an easy game to pick up and start playing. It’s simple enough to get going with, but over time you’ll realize there is much more under the surface. Gamers that enjoy a challenge will love this game. Gamers that like collecting items will get a kick out of playing regularly, and the game is completely free if you don’t purchase any of the extra premium content available for it.
