Great team to work with — professional, responsive and reliable

Omar Haddad / Co-Founder & CTO | Sep 25, 2026

Fortress Consulting did an excellent job for us. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Professional team that made a complex project feel manageable

Sam Harding / Founder | Aug 29, 2026

Fortress Consulting did an excellent job for us. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day.

Bec Harris / Chief Digital Officer | Aug 01, 2026

Fortress Consulting did an excellent job for us. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline.

Delivered on time and stayed involved after launch

Lucy Turner / VP of Engineering | Apr 04, 2026

We were happy with the final result. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks. I would recommend Fortress Consulting to anyone looking for a dependable Game Development partner.

Project summary

We partnered with Fortress Consulting to develop a casual mobile game from concept to launch. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. The engagement ran for about 9 months.
