Generally, console games tend to get butchered when they are launched on mobile phones. However, Fortnite managed to offer the same experience as those of Xbox, PlayStation, and Mac. Here too you are required to build a fort while you battle out with your enemies to remain as the last player standing.
The gameplay revolved around shaping your battlefield by developing your own cover while you blast off the cover of your opponents to make them vulnerable. You can play the game with your friends and build a fort together. There are various different islands offered in the game for you to play on.
To increase the stakes of the game, rather than playing against a computer, Fortnite allows you to battle it out with other players. Also, since you can team up with your friends from all around the world, Fortnite allows you to build strong bonds with the gaming community.
Once you are done with a game, there are only so many times you can play it again before getting bored. However, in the case of Fortnite, this is seldom likely to occur. After all, the developers of the game continue to add updates on a weekly basis. Moreover, new gameplay modes, weapons, and avatars are added quite often.
